Bible quotes in Arabic? That seems a bit contradictory.

Todays Jewish people look different from Arabic people because of migration to cooler climates and mixing with caucasians.Jewish people from Jesus' time used to look like most Arabic people do today.

On the one hand, the Jewish people are a nation in the same sense as the Greeks or the Italians or the Japanese. Jewish history goes back some 4,000 years to Abraham, who moved to the land of Canaan (what is now Israel) form Ur (usually believed to have been the ancient city of Ur in Mesopotamia, in what is now Iraq.) Abraham had two sons, Ishmael and Isaac. Isaac had two sons named Jacob and Esau. The Jewish people are ultimately the descendants of Jacob, also called Israel. Since these are actual people, there is such a thing as "Jewish blood" if by that you mean is there such a thing as being biologically Jewish.

But still Jesus would have been part of the original jewish breed that was different then the arabs in the surrounding areas. He may have 'looked' similiar by an ignorant eye by their are differences.

From wikipedia -
Jews (Hebrew: יְהוּדִים, Yehudim; Yiddish: ייִדן, Yiden) are followers of Judaism or, more generally, members of the Jewish people (also known as the Jewish nation, or the Children of Israel), an ethno-religious group descended from the ancient Israelites and from converts who joined their religion. |
