	Anonymous  #120958  Sun, 24 Jul 05 08:10 PM The question is concerning the possessive form of the Proper Noun, in this case Jesus. How does one pronounce the possessive form such as "Jesus' presence" or "Jesus' mother?" Any takers?    Anonymous

	CalifJim  #542637  Thu, 17 Jul 08 01:16 AM How is Jesus' pronounced? Is it Jesus (no additiona S sound) Yes. or Jesus-s?  No. Are both pronunciations correct? Not as written.  You would need Jesus's for the additional /iz/ on the end.  Though the 's is usually added for modern names, it is quite typical to use only the ' for the possessive for historical figures.  Hence, Jesus' disciples Socrates' wife CJ     CalifJim Joined on Mon, Aug 2 2004 California Veteran Member (17,765) "There are no facts, only interpretations" - Nietzsche
