Isn't that name, for mortals, usually pronounced with a soft J??

If not I can understand the concern...an elderly patient might just have a heart attack and meet the real Jesus!!!

It has nothing to do with mortals or not. It has to with Spanish and English. In Spanish, both mortals and the Son of God have their names pronounce Hay-soos. It is common in Hispanic culture to give that name to their sons so they carry over that pronunciation to their English speaking world.
