Mr Green, a pastor who specialises in church history, took to Q&A website Quora to answer the age old question of what shoe size Jesus was.

The Australian also explained the use of “thongs” when it came to footwear.

Explaining that shoe sizes as we know them today didn't exist when Jesus was around, he said: “He wore the right size.

“In the fairly warm Mediterranean climate, shoes as such weren't worn – that's why movies set in ancient Rome are often described as 'Sword and Sandal Epics'.

“Jesus would have worn sandals, and that's why he tells the Apostles in Matthew 10 not to take an extra pair of sandals when they go on mission around the villages.

“But don't imagine a pair of modern shoe shop sandals, as the Biblical Greek word for sandal literally means tie-under', just as people call a kind of casual beach sandal 'flip flops' or 'thongs'.”

He goes on to explain how sandals in ancient times were actually just a flat leather sole, held on with leather “thongs” – essentially, a pool-side flip flop that someone would wear to the beach in Ibiza today.

And when it comes to sizing, the expert added that it was more like how we shop for socks in modern Britain.

He said: “They were like socks today, often sold as sizes five to eight or nine to 11.

“The leather sole was to an approximate size, you could trim it is you needed to, and the main thing was that it protected your feet and didn't fall off as you walked.

“Standardised sizes are a modern invention.”
