The reason I write this article entitled "The Three Jesus" is to "Determine the historical Natures of these Men". There is now a universal recognition that the history and true identity of Jesus, or Yashu'a Bar Maryam along with the other two Jesus' that lived in his time namely Simon Bar-Jesus as found in Acts 13:6 and Jesus Justus as found in Colosssians 4:11 also know as Cleophas. There were 3 Jesuses in your Bible and the QURAN only deals with one.

Jesus had other names, Jesus was called Kurios (Mathew 1:20; Ephesians 4:5) which is equivalent to Adonai in Aramic (Hebrew) (Gensis 15:2). Adonai is the name of a sumerian God named Tammuz (Ezekiel 8:14) who was also called Adonis, and translates as "Master or Lord," Rabb in Aramic (Hebrew).

In ashuric /syriac (Arabic) it is Rab (Koran 1:1) and Means "Sustainer". His Egyptian name was Hor, or Haru which means "High", or "Far Away". The Greeks later changed it to Horus, then it became Latinized as Horus. Jesus in Greek Iesous, was an attempted transliteration from the Ashuric/Syriac (Arabic) name Iysa into Greek.

Question: Where did the name Jesus come from?

The word Jesus is a combination of the name Jehovah and the Greek God Zeus. When the Greeks converted to Judaism, they distorted the language, and the title Yahweh or Yahuwa became Jehweh or Jehovah. You see the Aramic(Hebrew) language doesn't have the "Ja" sound (Psalm 68:4) as found in Psalms, it's really "Ya". Neither was there any "J" sound in the English language before 1565 A.D. It was the Greeks that combined these two Deities. Je- from Jehovah and - Sus from Zeus to give you Jesus. The name Zeus and Iesous, are linked by the same root.

According to Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology, the greek "God" Dionysus is Etymologically Zeus or Simply Dionysus is Zeus, and if you look at the names Dionysus or Zeus and Jesus, the both end with the same suffix, Sus. The suffix Sus is from the French, Latin meaning "Swine, Hog, Sow". Dionysus, also called Bacchus is the God of wine ; Jesus' first so-called miracle was to change water into wine(John 4:46).

scott davis it is written, it is better to keep mouth closed and leave a mystery of ignorance than to open it and remove all doubt

Interesting that anyone could quote the Quran (Koran) without laughing. The Quran is a plagiarist amalgum of Chrisitianity, Judaism and pagan religions with some of Mohammed's cunning thrown in. There was no "angel" revealing anything to Mohammed. Mohammed wrote the Quran for wealth, political power and for a harem of women. He profitted very handsomely from the Quran. To use the Quran in an authoritative way or to learn something about Christianity or Judaism is a joke to educated religious scholars.
