It never says her actual age in the Bible, but girls could get betrothed, which was like getting…

“THE PHYSICAL PORTRAIT OF JESUS” The bible did not give us any physical description of Christ’s image. However, the closest descriptions we have of Him in comparison to his physical attributes is found in the book of Isaiah, chapter 53. Characteristically, the ancient Hebrews and Jewish race has dark brown or olive skin, with brown eyes, and dark brown or black hair.

In John, Jesus is portrayed as a divine being who is partly human, often emphasizing his divinity.

The Events Leading Up to Jesus’ Birth When did man, as we know man, really start? Our faith tells us it started with Adam and Eve. God gave instructions to Adam and then to Eve. However, temptations set upon them and they made a bad choice. The angel Gabriel, said to Zechariah, “Don’t be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer.

I would go to church and hear about how great Jesus is and the many things that he can do.
