NAS Exhaustive Concordance:
Smith's Bible Dictionary:
The Hebrew J pronunciation is closer to the English Y sound than the /dʒ/ sound. Neither Hebrew nor Greek has the /dʒ/ sound. In any case, God understands whom you are referring to when you say "Jesus" (/ˈdʒiːzəs/).

I am using this OP as an example for demonstrating scholarly referencing. It is standard high-school scholarship practice:
The English name Jesus is derived from the Latin Iesus, itself a transliteration of the Greek Ἰησοῦς (Iēsoûs).[60] The Greek form is probably a rendering of the Hebrew and Aramaic name ישוע (Yēšūa), a shorter variant of the earlier Hebrew name יהושע (Yəhōšūa, English: "Joshua").

- Give the name of the source, in this case, it is Wikipedia.
- Provide the place of the source. In this case, it is the URL address in the hidden blue links.
