Why aren't there any verses in the Bible describing Jesus' appearance?

I guess it isn't important... but the information definitely would have been helpful to artists.

Somethings, you don't need to see to believe.

Uhhh... I don't see how that applies to this debate. Description or not, we would have never seen him.

If you were to have a description of what Jesus looked like, then you would be able to see him with your minds eye.

That is an interesting question. And it leads me to another question...how many Biblical figures did have physical descriptions in the Bible?

Near as I can tell, appearances are generally only described when they're directly relevant to the story in question- and only to the extent needed. Eg. In the story of David and Goliath, the relevant size and stature are described, though not the specifics of their overall appearances. In the story of Samson, the impressiveness of his physique and hair are described, both being directly relevant to the story. The beauty of female characters, where relevant (eg. Esther, Sarah, Rachel), is described to lend context to the story. Other female characters, such as Mary Magdalene, are not given much of a description as it's not really relevant in offering any kind of context.

It was his actions and teachings that were important not his appearance

Side: It's not important

I think His first appearance is at the wedding feast at Cana.
