The first pic depicts Jesus, the shepherd.
The second simply demonstrates that varied skin tones were used in this time period

There’s Middle Eastern Jesus, Black Jesus, Chinese Jesus, Anglo Jesus, and American Anti-Jesus.
Turns out civilizations around the world like to take the idea of Jesus and personify him based on the local culture.
More evidence the early church used images of the prophets saints and Christ in their everyday lives instead of the iconoclastic anti christ view of modern “churches”
Date?
This style shows up a lot in late Roman and early Byzantine frescoes. The features are more symbolic than literal.
Guess that means Jesus wanted trump and America to facilitate the murder of Palestinian children via USA bombs #trademark
it looks like elvis in the first one
Americans were right all along!
Someone drawing a picture is not proof of anything. My baby niece draws pictures of “cats” all the time, it doesn’t mean a cat is green because she used a green crayon
Dionysus
Why would you expect the Byzantine empire era to tell the truth concerning the “Bible” when that’s the same period of the Council of Nicaea? That’s the period of them taking out canonized books and text, so if that’s the case why would you expect their to be accurate depictions concerning the people in the Bible? I don’t even believe in Jesus but still it makes no sense lol
Oh you mean Jesse Christ.
I think he probably looked like a levantine arab. But maybe I’m a kook
And korean Jesus ain’t got time for white people shit, hes got korean people shit to worry about
And how do we know it’s Jesus and not just your average Turkish shepherd?
D’oh!!
