Новият завет посочва ясно, че Исус, като всички религиозни евреи от първи век, е носел цицийот. Това са пискюлите, които били прикрепяни към четирите ъгъла на нечия мантия, според заповедта в Числа 15 и Второзаконие 22. Спазването на тази заповед от страна на Исус е илюстрирано по един драматичен начин от историята на жената, която страдала от кръвоизлив в продължение на дванадесет години.
Външният вид на Исус: Прически и бради в библейски времена
Никой не знае със сигурност как е изглеждал Исус в очите на своите съвременници. Въпреки това има доказателства, които предполагат, че косата на Исус може да е била доста къса—черна или тъмна на цвят—и брадата му да е била късо подстригана.

Blessedness of the Twelve
Without a knowledge of the saying’s context, Jesus’ saying about eyes and ears and prophets and righteous men, seems quite prosaic. However, when it is understood that this saying deals with the Kingdom of Heaven, it becomes one of Jesus’ most exciting and dramatic statements.

With All Due Respect…
The relationship between a sage and his disciple may be characterized both as that of a father to his son, and of a master to his servant. In effect, a disciple indentured himself to his teacher. Traveling with and attending to him, a disciple remained with his teacher twenty-four hours a day, three hundred sixty-five days a year. The etiquette governing the teacher-disciple relationship is a fascinating subject. In this article, Shmuel Safrai explores one aspect of that relationship: To what extent could an advanced disciple differ from the opinions of his teacher?
Parables of Ill Repute
In rabbinic parables God could be portrayed as behaving in a morally ambiguous manner: he might be a cruel slave owner or a heartless judge. In a few Lukan parables, Jesus also portrayed God as behaving scandalously. Often unsettling for modern readers, such portrayals added humorous elements to the plot and heightened the dramatic effect.
