John said Jesus was 4'6", WHERE?
We were a small race, back then they were only 5' on avg.
Both Tertullian and Celsus described Jesus as short and of mean appearance. The apocryphal Acts of John says Jesus was a man of small stature and Jesus's twin brother is described as small in the Syrian Acts of Thomas.
The measure of his height which is given as 15 palms and a half, is roughly
4 feet 6 inches. A far cry from the over 6' figure in the forged shroud.
Which of the many christs this describes can not yet be determined, but I'm guessing Theudas.
Quote Tommy Tainant;
"those money lenders would have kicked his arse if he had been that size."
That story is based on the 2 Yehudas in the Herod era, Yehuda the Galilean was the tax revolter christ who died in 6bc, but the thief murderer used for the Jesus Barabbas story was the confused FOR Yehuda the GALIONITE WHO ransacked the temple thus used also for the turning the tables story. During the holidays merchants and money changers were given space along the Temple grounds to handle the huge flux of devoted tourist, so it was not an unusual or deplored act, so overturning tables would make Jesus wrong in this case it was ransacked by the mistaken Yehuda with similar name to the Galilean.
Rome tried to make the temple look unworthy to sell themselves as new authority thus making people assume it was a bad thing to demonize the Temple priests instead of seeing having a knipshin turning tables is the bad act. Yehuda the Galionite was a thief, so ransacking meant flipping tables in theft.
For all we know Yehuda the Galionite claimed to be The Galilean resurrected, wouldn't be the first time that scam occured. Remember nobody recognized him. Of course I believe the whole story fabricated, but if you swear it true this would be your smoking gun or the fact one figure used for Jesus had a twin.
