It is fascinating that when Jesus was getting ready to be betrayed by Judas and go to the cross that Judas had to tell them this…

Mat 26:48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: "The one I kiss is the man; arrest him."

Why would they need someone to tell them which one is Jesus? Jesus was extremely popular. Did he have features that kind of looked like everyone else? Did he look almost like a twin brother to many other faces? Was he one of those faces that everyone would say – "haven't we met before?"
