what name is the english version of the greek for the hebrew name yeshua
Yeshua is the Hebrew name, and its English spelling is âJoshua.â Iesous is the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name, and its English spelling is âJesus.â Thus, the names âJoshuaâ and âJesusâ are essentially the same; both are English pronunciations of the Hebrew and Greek names for our Lord. Yeshua was a common alternative form of the name (Yehoshuah â Joshua) in later books of the Hebrew Bible and among Jews of the Second Temple period.
