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

Thomas gets a lot of grief for not being with the others the day resurrected Jesus first appeared to them and for not believing their report. Jesus doesn't hold it against Thomas.
Pastor Brad Lacey invited CMJ USA executive director Cariño Casas and partnership director Jeff Roberts to talk about what CMJ USA is up to and how a Mexican-American from west Texas and a Jewish follower of Jesus from Cleveland came to work together.
