This page has 22 free Jesus coloring pages, each a single portrait sheet sized for US Letter paper. 5 show Jesus with children, 4 follow the Easter story from Palm Sunday to the empty tomb, and 3 are portraits that work as a printable picture of Jesus. The set leans detailed: only page 9 has fewer than 50 enclosed shapes, and 6 pages have more than 100, so it suits older kids and Sunday school classes better than toddlers. Tap the pages you want in the grid, then press Print or PDF.
Bible scenes on the 22 Jesus pages
12 pages match a Bible passage closely enough to pair with a reading, and the rest show Jesus teaching, praying or greeting people. Every caption in the grid shows its page number.
| Page | Scene | Reading to pair it with |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Jesus holding a lamb | John 10:11 (the Good Shepherd) |
| 9 | Jesus walking on the waves | Matthew 14:22–33 |
| 4, 6, 13, 15, 22 | Jesus with children | Mark 10:13–16 |
| 18 | Riding a donkey into the city | Matthew 21:1–11 (Palm Sunday) |
| 3 | Crown of thorns | Mark 15:17 |
| 11 | Carrying the cross | John 19:17 |
| 7 | Standing at the opened tomb at sunrise | Matthew 28:1–10 (Easter) |
| 21 | Knocking at a door with a lantern | Revelation 3:20 |
Pages 3, 11, 18 and 7 run in Holy Week order, so a class can color one a day from Palm Sunday to Easter. The other pages show Jesus teaching a seated crowd on a hillside (page 12), kneeling in prayer (page 16), holding a candle (page 17) and welcoming people under a stone archway (page 20). There is no nativity or Christmas scene in this set.
Which Jesus pages suit which age
For preschoolers, start with page 9; for older kids, page 20 is the most detailed. The table sorts all 22 pages by the number of enclosed white shapes, counted on a same-size scan of every file. Fewer shapes means bigger areas to fill.
| Enclosed shapes | Pages | Count |
|---|---|---|
| 45 (big areas) | 9 | 1 |
| 51 to 100 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 19, 21 | 15 |
| Over 100 (small details) | 12, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22 | 6 |
Page 9 is mostly sky and open water around one figure. Next easiest are page 11 (52 shapes) and pages 1 and 21 (58 each). Page 20 has 178, because the crowd, the archway stones and the cross above it are all drawn in small pieces; page 18 follows with 166.
Printing a picture of Jesus from this set
For a single printable picture of Jesus, use page 2, 3 or 10, and print it at one page per sheet. Page 2 is Jesus with his hands on his chest and flowers at his feet, page 3 is a close portrait with the crown of thorns, and page 10 shows him with arms open on a hill at sunrise. At one page per sheet each prints about 7.9 × 10.2 inches on US Letter paper; the files are 768 × 994 pixels, roughly 98 pixels per inch at that size, so print at 100% rather than enlarging.
- 4 pages per sheet shrinks each scene to about 3.8 × 5.0 inches. Use it for page 9 or the mid-range pages; the 6 pages over 100 shapes get too crowded at that size.
- For a Holy Week handout, select pages 18, 3, 11 and 7 and press PDF to get one file with all four.
