Revelation 1:14-16
21st Century King James Version
14 His head and His hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 and His feet like unto fine brass, as though they burned in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters.
16 And He had in His right hand seven stars, and out of His mouth went a sharp twoedged sword, and His countenance shone as the sun shineth in his strength

There is no crown of thorns on the head of the Risen Jesus. He has many crowns, but none of them are of this earth. Funny how a 21st century bible still uses 17th century English. God has spoken to me about 40 times in my Christian life. Never did He use the KJV or speak like Shakespear.

I believe Jesus spoke to everyone in there respected tongue.

On day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit spoke through men. And everyone heard and understood in there native tongue.

In this case one must make a decision in regards to respect of the manuscripts.
The KJ translators utilized he”Textus Receptus” in the translation of scripture, and I believe it is the most accurate word of God.

But it is not without its faults, the Vaticanus and Sinaiticus are the oldest extant GREEK Uncial Manuscripts, and a overwhelming majority of translations do not render the word “blood” in Act 17:26

However, the Papyri, which were discovered in the 1950's, date back to A.D. 180-220 which are earlier than both the Vaticanus and Sinaiticus (A.D. 330). The Papyri support the reading in the King James Version (from the Textus Receptus). So I’m inclined to use the KJ .
There is a “Letter to the readers” found in the 1611 KJV which touches on issues of translation.

Moreover;
Acts 17:26
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwellon all the face of the earth, and hath determined the timesbefore appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

This can not be true in respect to what we now know concerning biology. Nations or better said races come from DNA, a knowledge that was amiss at the time of Acts. There is much more to be said, but let it suffice that a 7 foot African negro male and and a 6’10 African negro female will never produce a little Korean child.

.

That isn't evidence though. Translations can be biased. Ones like the NIV do not translate accurately from the Greek in many instances. The verse does have the word blood rather than man, so it is from one blood all were made. This is in harmony with the story of the olive branch grafting where gentiles are also branches from an olive tree, rather than other different trees. All humanity is from one blood, human blood.

If that is to say all races (mankind) come from Adam, I’m sure you know I disagree.

For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?(1 Corinthians 11:7;14).

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high(Hebrews 1:3).

A lot of people portray Jesus with long hair but he had short hair for He was in the express image of God, which a man should have short hair for that is the image of God.

Some people will say but what about Samson with his long, flowing, blowing in the wind, shiny, and looking better than Fabio's hair.

But Samson was not in the image of God for after Adam and Eve sinned no person was in the image of God until Jesus came for a person has to be led of the Spirit to be in the image of God.

The Shroud of Turin has His image at the last moment of death as the Glory of the Father flashed within His body and raised Him back to life. His image on the Shroud is somewhat disfigured and swollen in places because of the torture and falling while carrying the cross. There is some distortion since the cloth did not lay entirely evenly on His body. Yet it shows us what He looked like before or as He was raised.

Some excellent portrayals of His face from the Shroud have been done to show what various artists have come up with from the Shroud. You can do a bing search on jesus face images from shroud of turin to see many life-like images.

That shroud is not depicting Christ. It has been proven to be a medieval artifact.

In 1988, radiocarbon dating by three different laboratories established that the shroud's linen material was produced between the years 1260 and 1390 (to a 95% confidence level).

A whole lot of much ado about nothing here

Those radiocarbon datings have been disproven. It was also misrepresented at the time of the testing according to documentation that was not released at the time.

Reading a book recently by the man who did blood testing on the Shroud samples for the 1978 STURP study of the Shroud. There is irrefutable evidence of it's authenticity and no one can prove how the Image was made on the Shroud after decades of trying.

It may be easy to say it was proven an artifact but that is ill informed and incorrect. The lead researchers have agreed that it is an authentic relic that cannot be explained with understood science.

His image was left on the Shroud when He was resurrected in a burst of His Father's Glory bringing Him back to life.

There are plenty of books available to study it that can be had for 5 bucks or less.

Based on the Shroud He had shoulder length hair or longer at the time of His crucifixion.

There are also countless YT vids available with the latest information. There is also a site dedicated to the Shroud that an early researcher runs and updates with the latest developments. Have already watched tons of vids and read books etc but will not bore anyone with the immense amount of details.

One nice tidbit is coins were placed on His eyes that show up in the Shroud and were struck during Pontious Pilate's time. The pollen data shows it was in and around Jerusalem at some point. There are images of flowers on the Shroud that have been identified and some only grow around that part of Jerusalem and bloom for a short period during the time He was crucified. There is no way it is fake. That has been debunked by countless details that are in the books.

In the British museum you will find the following…. As for as the legitimacy of the letter, that is for the reader to decide.

The letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar
This is a reprinting of a letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar describing the physical appearance of Jesus. Copies are in the Congressional Library in Washington, D.C.

TO TIBERIUS CAESAR:
A young man appeared in Galilee preaching with humble unction, a new law in the Name of the God that had sent Him. At first I was apprehensive that His design was to stir up the people against the Romans, but my fears were soon dispelled. Jesus of Nazareth spoke rather as a friend of the Romans than of the Jews. One day I observed in the midst of a group of people a young man who was leaning against a tree, calmly addressing the multitude. I was told it was Jesus. This I could easily have suspected so great was the difference between Him and those who were listening to Him. His golden colored hair and beard gave to his appearance a celestial aspect. He appeared to be about 30 years of age. Never have I seen a sweeter or more serene countenance. What a contrast between Him and His bearers with their black beards and tawny complexions! Unwilling to interrupt Him by my presence, I continued my walk but signified to my secretary to join the group and listen. Later, my secretary reported that never had he seen in the works of all the philosophers anything that compared to the teachings of Jesus. He told me that Jesus was neither seditious nor rebellious, so we extended to Him our protection. He was at liberty to act, to speak, to assemble and to address the people. This unlimited freedom provoked the Jews -- not the poor but the rich and powerful.
Later, I wrote to Jesus requesting an interview with Him at the Praetorium. He came. When the Nazarene made His appearance I was having my morning walk and as I faced Him my feet seemed fastened with an iron hand to the marble pavement and I trembled in every limb as a guilty culprit, though he was calm. For some time I stood admiring this extraordinary Man. There was nothing in Him that was repelling, nor in His character, yet I felt awed in His presence. I told Him that there was a magnetic simplicity about Him and His personality that elevated Him far above the philosophers and teachers of His day.
Now, Noble Sovereign, these are the facts concerning Jesus of Nazareth and I have taken the time to write you in detail concerning these matters. I say that such a man who could convert water into wine, change death into life, disease into health; calm the stormy seas, is not guilty of any criminal offense and as others have said, we must agree -- truly this is the Son of God.
Your most obedient servant,
Pontius Pilate​
