There is not one place in the New Testament that describes the appearance of Jesus and Isaiah is usually quoted by Christians when describing the physical appearance of the "Son of God":
52:14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
53:3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Does the picture in Popular Mechanics show the real face of Jesus?
Israeli and British forensic anthropologists and computer programmers, using the techiques of forensic anthropology, produced this artists' conceptualization and is largely based on the work of Richard Neave, retired medical artist from the University of Manchester in England.

I think the bible clearly states that Jesus was not any different from any men during his time.
I think Jesus was rejected then and still is being rejected now by not depicting him the way he truly was. A swarthy looking man of short stature not different than his disciples. The amazing power of Jesus was within.
