Eye-Witness Describes Jesus In Great Detail In A Letter To Caesar

In this episode, we will share with you and discuss the letter of Lentulus in which he describes Jesus's appearance.

Religiously, Judaea was a melting pot. Although the majority of the population was Jewish, various religious cults and preachers competed for followers. It was in this context that a man named Jesus was born. Like other religious figures of his time, Jesus traveled and preached across Galilee, Judaea, and Syria, but he stood apart from the rest because of the miracles he reportedly performed—healing the sick, turning water into wine, and calming storms. Imagine what it would have been like for a humble herder to witness Jesus walking on water! According to the Gospel of Mark, when his disciples first saw him doing this, they thought he was a ghost.

But Jesus reassured them, saying, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid” (Mark 6:50).
Word spread quickly through the province about this man from Galilee, believed by many to be the Son of God. Crowds of people sought him out for guidance, healing, and insight. Some of his followers even chronicled his life in books that would later become known as the Gospels. However, these accounts focused mostly on his teachings and deeds, with little mention of his physical appearance. The New Testament, for example, offers only passing comments about what Jesus looked like. Even the Prophet Isaiah hints that Jesus was not physically remarkable: “He hath no form nor comeliness... there is no beauty that we should desire him” (Isaiah 53:2).
Could this be a deliberate attempt to protect Jesus from the Roman authorities? Perhaps by downplaying his appearance, his followers made him harder to recognize and, therefore, less of a threat to the powerful empire.

As the teachings and miracles of Jesus spread through Judaea, it wasn’t long before he attracted the attention of the Roman Empire. Though many local rulers might have overlooked him as just another preacher, the Roman administrative machine was always watching. At the time, Judaea was under the rule of Emperor Tiberius, a ruler less interested in day-to-day affairs but still running a vast and disciplined empire. To maintain control over their sprawling territories, Rome relied heavily on a vast network of informants and officials, constantly reporting back to the Emperor and Senate.
One of these informants was Publius Lentulus, a Roman official stationed in Galilee. While much about Lentulus remains unclear—his biography nearly lost to time—there are scattered reports that suggest he served as Prefect in Judaea. Historians speculate that Lentulus might have been a young noble from Italy, sent to the Middle East to further his career. It was during his time in this role that he encountered the man known as Jesus Christ, prompting him to write a detailed report to the Roman Senate.

The letter, though not widely circulated at the time, is a rare account of Jesus’ appearance, penned by someone who may have seen him firsthand. But how reliable is this letter? Was Lentulus truly an eyewitness, or could this document have been a much later fabrication? These questions have cast a shadow over the letter’s authenticity for centuries.

Despite the doubts, the letter provides one of the earliest and most detailed descriptions of Jesus.
Lentulus wrote the letter to ensure that the Roman authorities could identify and apprehend this figure who was making waves across the region. His account was likely meant to aid Roman soldiers in locating Jesus—an indicator that the man from Galilee had become significant enough to merit concern at the highest levels of Roman power.

The letter begins with a straightforward report:
“Lentulus, the Governor of the Jerusalemites to the Roman Senate and People, greetings. There appeared in these our days a Man of great virtue, called Jesus Christ, who is yet living amongst us, and the People accepted for a Prophet, but his own Disciples call him the Son of God. He raiseth the Dead and cureth all manner of Diseases.” (Letter of Lentulus).

Lentulus’ description would have likely seemed astonishing, even unbelievable, to the Roman Senate. A man who could raise the dead? Cure diseases by mere touch? Such feats would have sounded closer to the realm of myth than reality. Yet Lentulus pressed on, detailing not only Jesus’ actions but his physical appearance—a crucial piece of information in a time when no portrait or image existed.

Is the letter of Lentulus real or fake? What do you think?

I don't care what race or color Jesus is❤❤❤

According to the Book Of Revelations, gives a description of what our Big Brother look like. His hair was of white wool as white as snow, His eyes unto a flame of fire, and feet unto fine brass, as if burned in a furnace. Revelations also says that our Big Brother is coming back with a name, that no one, but him knows🙏🏾🙏🏾So if the Bible describes him one way, then why paint him the way people one. This year Russia, has shown some pictures in a safe, and it shows, that our Messiah and his apostles were people of color, and their names were changed, also. There was more than one Jesus(Hail Zues) One was Bar Jesus. We didn't even have J's until the mid 1500's. The portrait that everyone has is Ceasere Borjana, which was a gay man. Leonardo DaVinci painted that because his lover asked him to. This is why the Bible says to NOT make for yourself false idols and carvings or graven imagines of anything in the Heavens, Earth, or anything in or under the water. We seem to cherry pick the Bible, to try to make excuses and our own understanding, which we are not to do. 😢If someone you loved was stabbed, would you wear a knife around your neck, with your loved one on it? In my opinion, the cross is disrespectful. But to each his own.

I’m not a religious person. Many months ago i woke up from a deep sleep and my first thought was “what if Rasputin is what Jesus looked like?” No clue where this random thought came from. I think I’m loosing it 😅

[lynnd.]

Lentulus sounds like he was gay. Nothing wrong with that. But the tone is definitely one of a crush.

[Bobbyjean-visj]

No Jesus race doesn't matter but I just believe that His skin color was the same as the people who were born in that time .

[maureennewman]

So when was this document discovered ? How apt it comes now. To be honest he was a Hebrew, so was likely a swarthy in colour . Who cares, it’s who he was that is relevant

[jasonshapiro]

The shroud is DaVinci..he took a self picture and developed it on to the cloth as a way of getting the church off his back for some of the things he was into, he had already faced the inquisition once and was scared of them coming after him again. At least this is what the Templar guy Tim hogan claims, along with the templars possession of the bones of Jesus's and Mary magdelins alien babies

[TheKimber]

please, JC? think about it. And who had an agenda to grind during those times.

[oxyblue]

Unfortunately the reality is that the artist chose to paint Christ as they wanted to. But yes with this new revelation we have concrete evidence of what we all thought was likely. Nice to have confirmation even if it's fake! LOL 😂

[MediaSolutions-uhqr]

Why don't you show all who you are. Why hide yourself. Seems very weird to me. What do you have to loose or gain?

[Benjamin.Bockover]

I keep hearing of the blond and blue jesus. but have never seen one of these pictures. Also my children have grey eyes but everyone calls them blue eyes. so that could be part of that. just my thoughts.

[wyrmmm]

Everything written about Jesus was decades after his death.

[Sandra-phzy]

I dispute this whole supposed text. I stopped listening when the roman called him Jesus christ.
His name, at that time, was Jesus of Nazareth.
Christ is/was added because of his written crucifixion and would not have been an identifier until after the crucifixion.
Ie, this is a fraud.

You always bring interesting content..
Thanks for sharing, S.O..💖

[DaKiLLeR]

This is a lie
That’s not how he was. It is in the Bible where it describes him. The word says he was ugly so he won’t tempt any woman. Temptations.

[Dankness-ei]

Freemason writes Allegorical story specifically for the reason of manufacturing history.

[dorisforssi]

JESUS LORD KING WAS ARAMAIC. BORN IN PALESTINE.

[tiz]

Yeah, the disciples did not even give a description of this Jesus! Most of what we know about him wasn't written about until long after he was

[havnfun]

It was only Palestine after Rome renamed Israel. It was done after the Jews rebelled.
