 | | In Greek, the language of the New Testament, neither of these pronunciations is even possible, so the name appears as "Iesous." Similarly, "Yohanan" of the Old Testament is "Ioannes" of the Greek New Testament, which is translated as "John" in English, "Juan" in Spanish, and "Johann" in German. |
 | | As we read on through the New Testament, we see that in very short order, the one who was recognized as the senior pastor, the bishop if you will, of the Christian church of Jerusalem was not Peter, not John, not John’s brother James, but James the brother of our Lord. |
 | | Judas, the youngest son of Mary and Joseph, also understood the precious Gospel of God’s grace. |
