So I recently read that the "J" wasn't invented until the 1500s, and that the name "Jesus" didn't appear until 1550 something. But in an online version of Martin Luther's German translation, dated 1545, there it is plain as day. Bible Gateway's LutherDoes anyone know when the name "Jesus" was first used? Thanks, RidesWithYah. |

The first time the name "Jesus" showed up in the Authorized, or "King James" Version, was 1629. Until then (from from the translation's introduction in 1611 onward), it was rendered Iesus. I can't speak for other languages or writings in English.

Some time ago I found a Photo of the 1611 KJV. Jesus was spelled IESUS and James was spelled Iames

Shabbat Shalom,
I think that you can order the Tyndale book if you so wish. There you can see the old gothic alphabet and how they write and spell names. In comparison, Shakespeare looks absolutely modern! |
The reverence of Yahweh is the beginning of Wisdom. |
