It's Yeshua, not Yahshua
CMJ USA • June 29, 2023
In this clip, Dr. Michael Brown answers a caller's question about how to say Jesus' name in Hebrew. His answer is thorough (and quite spirited).
As Brown points out, if we are unsure how to vocalize the Hebrew consonants from the first century, the Greek of the New Testament points us to the E sound. Yahshua is a made-up word. Below you can see how the Hebrew gets transliterated into Greek then into Latin, then into the English (and Spanish) spelling we know today.
It's Yeshua. יֵשׁוּעַ > Ἰησοῦς > Iēsus > Jesus https://t.co/oe2zKAOlcB

On the 9th Day of Av, our Jewish neighbors mourn the many calamities of Jewish history. This fast day teaches us to not hurry past grief, to mourn with mourners
There is an urgent need to connect and care for our Jewish neighbors. Our Christian obligation stems from the Jewishness of both Jesus and the gospel. We cannot love our neighbor well if we compromise our faith in the process.
