[I cannot think of a name]

Before anyone gets too worked up over this, does anyone realize how many people were named Jesus back then? Or even today for that matter.

I can honestly type: “A few years ago I was surprise to run into Jesus and his wife at the folk life festival.”

Of course when we went to high school his name was pronounced “hey-sus” but written out you really can’t tell the difference.

Hola, Chuey.
There was a San Francisco Giant named Jesus Alou--CHUEY Alou. Folks got used to the name and there have been MANY Hispanic men named such. It's NOT popular with Anglo names but the Spanish-speaking people sure took to it.
The name "Jesus" generally means, appropriately, "DELIVERER."

I googled it.
Of course, Google doesn't know everything!
Does it??????? :o)

Heck, if you go back to the original Hebrew, we have 'Yeshua'. The same Koine Greek word Ἰησοῦς (Iēsoûs) was used to translate the Hebrew names Yehoshua (aka Joshua) and Yeshua. Long story short, Yeshua was a very common name. /imagine if the translation went differently //and we called him Josh, the Son of God
