Jesus was Jewish, from Galilee, and therefore of Middle Eastern descent. If you are interested in his lineage, there is an account in The Bible that goes back to King David. While most of his ancestors were Jewish, there were a few gentiles (non-Jews) as well. As far as I know, every single one was from that same part of the world.
Jesus Christ is believed to have been a Galilean Jew, probably of Semitic or Middle Eastern appearance.

∙ 8y agoJesus is often pictured having Roman features in many popular artworks, but this is due to religious icons being a popular subject of European art for a time period. There are many theories of the ethnic origins of Christ, but the most widely accepted is that he was of Jewish and Middle Eastern ancestry.

∙ 10y agoJesus was born in North Africa (Egypt) & he was Jewish. So, depending on how you define ethnicity, he was/is Egyptian, Jewish or Negro.
How could he be Jewish and be portrayed as a christian? How can he be an Egyptian and be a Negro? Maybe he was the supreme being, the maker, the owner, the cream of the planet earth, the god of civilization because he had self knowledge of who he really was which is the original man, knowing his God like!
Wow...Way off, way way off!
Jesus Christ was a citizen of Rome, born in Bethlehem of Judea.
His descent through John & Mary was of the Jewish nation.
He was raised in a Jewish culture. he is of a Jewish ethnicity and they were considered Caucasoid...Being that of a lighter complexioned skin like those of N.Africa, SW Asia, India and Europe.
Yeshua was born no where near Egypt nor Africa!
