Jesus was likely of average height for a man living in 1st-century Judea, estimated to be between about 5 feet 1 inch (155 cm) and 5 feet 5 inches (165 cm). The Bible does not specify his height, and historical and anthropological evidence suggests that this range reflects the typical stature of men in that region and period. Some claims of Jesus being taller—such as around 6 feet—are based on less historically supported sources like the Shroud of Turin, but these are generally considered unlikely since the biblical description implies he was unremarkable in physical appearance, not standing out by height. Overall, Jesus's height was probably close to the average of his contemporaries rather than unusually tall or short.
