According to the New Testament Bible, Jesus performed miracles from the power He received from His heavenly Father. He was one – in oneness or unity – with His Father. He received power from Him to perform miracles. Jesus did miracles through divine power that He received from His Father, God.

      Throughout the Gospel of John in the New Testament, Jesus proclaimed that He could do        nothing of Himself but by the will of the Father, by the power of God.

Jesus said, “I can of myself do nothing” (John 5:30).

In John 14:10 of the New Testament Jesus says, “I do not speak of my own authority, of myself: but the Father that lives in me, He does the works.”

According to the New Testament Bible, Jesus said that His friends were those who kept His word, His sayings, and obeyed the things that He commanded (see the Gospel of John chapter 15). He also stated that His disciples, followers, were His friends. This includes the twelve disciples closest to Him, and those who were not included in that twelve such as Martha, Mary, Lazarus. Several women were also His friends in a sisterly way and they ministered to Him i.e. they would have helped Him with meals, sowing needs and such like. Their names were Susanna, Joanna, Mary (We see this in Luke 8:3). Those who follow Jesus are His friends—and the New Testament makes it clear that this includes those who follow Him today by obeying Him.

According to the Bible (and confirmed by History), Jesus was born to Mary of Nazareth—a young teen girl of poor background. Mary, Jesus’ mother, married Joseph of Nazareth—a humble and poor carpenter who helped raise Jesus and became, in effect, His adoptive father.

The Bible depicts Jesus’ parents as being ordinary folk, humble and poor. They loved God.

Jesus’ kinship can be seen in the New Testament Gospels:

A verse in the Old Testament worth noting is found in Isaiah 7, verse 14:

“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, ad shall call His name Immanuel” (Isa. 7:14, NKJV).

Jesus was born of the virgin Mary. She was His mother. God was His father.

The New Testament Bible tells us that Jesus had a brothers named James, Joses, Judas and also other siblings including sisters who are not necessarily named.

According to the Gospel of Mark in the New Testament, Jesus had both brothers and sisters :

“…is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of Hames, Joses, Judas and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” (Mark 6:3, NKJV). 

Jesus’s siblings were, in fact, half siblings. Their biological parents were Mary and Joseph. Jesus shared the same mother, Mary. And Joseph was his adopted father. But He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit as revealed in the Gospel genealogies.

 A relevant verse in the Old Testament worth noting is found in Isaiah 7, verse 14:

“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, ad shall call His name Immanuel” (Isa. 7:14, NKJV).

Jesus was born of the virgin Mary. She was His mother. God was His father. Therefore his brothers and sisters were siblings by sharing the same mother as Him.

The Bible also teaches that on a spiritual level, Jesus calls all who hear Him “brothers”. (Luke 8:21).

There is nothing in the New Testament Bible to suggest that Jesus was a hippy or a marginal person.  History and the Bible reveal that Jesus looked very ordinary. He blended in with the crowd. He was poor but not a beggar. And there’s no suggestion that He didn’t work or was marginal in any way. On the contrary, Jesus worked as a carpenter.

He was however a person who depended entirely and solely on God His heavenly Father. He had no set place to lay His head and said of Himself, “Foxes have holes, and birds have nests but the Son of man has nowhere to lay His head”In this way, He was different than other people. In this way, He could be perceived as not living an ordinary life.

Jesus believed in and encouraged hard work and in no way encouraged a marginal way of life.

The Bible does not disclose whether or not Jesus had a beard. It does state that He was very ordinary in His exterior appeal. He blended in with the people of His culture and era. He may therefore have had a beard since many men did. But there is no precise record for us to know for sure. History reflecting the culture of the time indicates that it would have been very ordinary and very normal to wear a beard. So possibly Jesus had a beard.

The Bible shows that Jesus was not a vegetarian. He ate fish with His disciples on several occasions. We see this in the Gospel of John chapter 21 when He cooked and ate fish again with His disciples after He was resurrected from the dead. He would have likely eaten lamb at the Passover supper. He ate an ordinary diet the same as the average person in His country and of that era.
