John Hicks family’s position on the name of Jesus

Aramaic = Eashoa

Hebrew (dead language until the revival of Modern Hebrew towards the end of the 19th century and into the 20th century) = Transliteration in Aramaic =  Yeshuwa`  (AV=Jeshua)

Defined: he is saved

Only time Jeshua (Yeshuwa) used in AV:

Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them. Ezra 5:2

Koine = Iēsous

Defined: Jehovah is salvation

Written language of New Testament = Koine Greek (dead language)

Note: We received the New Testament including the name of Jesus in the Koine Greek language and it has since been translated into our language which is English.

The importance of scripture:

For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 Peter 1:16-21

Spoken and written language of Jesus = Aramaic

Spoken and written language of Hicks family = English

From the Greek to English: Eashoa =  Iēsous = Jesus = Jehovah is salvation

For the Hicks family His name is Jesus.

Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:10-12

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 3:28-29
