Yehoshua is Jesus' properly translated name (funnily enough) as I understand it.

Bart Ehrman, Pg 209 of Misquoting Jesus.

Quote:The King James Version is filled with places in which the translators rendered a Greek text derived ultimately from Erasmus's
edition, which was based on a single twelfth century manuscript that
is one of the worst of the manuscripts that we now have available to
us! It's no wonder that modern translations often differ from the King James, and no wonder that some Bible believing Christians prefer
to pretend there's never been a problem, since God inspired the
King James Bible instead of the original Greek! (As the old saw goes,
If the King James was good enough for Saint Paul, it's good enough
for me.)

Reality is never that neat, however, and in this case we need to face
up to the facts. The King James was not given by God but was a translation by a group of scholars in the early seventeenth century who
based their rendition on a faulty Greek text.

I know that, this version calls him Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua or renders Jesus as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach (Master King Messiah). It's a very odd Messianic Christian paraphrase.

Only some of the wackiest denominations insist in calling God "Yahweh" and Jesus as Yeshua, Yahoshua, Yashua, Y'shua, Yehoshua, or Yahshuah.

Asking for the worst is like asking which turd smells worst.

How did I know you would not be able to actually supply an answer?

Jesus is just the Greek translation of what would be also translated as Joshua, which I believe means God with us.

On worst, it depends on if you mean the Old Testament or New Testament. The worst of course is the New World Translation, the one created by Jehovah's Witnesses so their unBiblical BS would actually be allowed.

The Message though quite insightful for the New Testament is utter crap with the Old Testament.
