单词 Jesus
释义 Jesus|ˈdʒiːzəs|
[a. L. Iēsū-s, a. Gr. Ἰησοῦς, ad. late Heb. or Aram. yēshūă‭ﻋ, Jeshua, for the earlier y'hōshūă‭ﻋ, Jehoshua or Joshua (explained as ‘Jah (or Jahveh) is salvation’: cf. y'shū‭ﻋāh ‘salvation, deliverance’, and Matt. i. 21), a frequent Jewish personal name, which, as that of the Founder of Christianity, has passed through Gr. and L. into all the languages of Christendom.
In OE. rendered by hǽlend ‘saviour’ (see healend); but during the ME. period regularly used in its OF. (objective) form Iesu (Jesu). The (L. nom.) form Iesus (Jesus) was rare in ME., but became the regular Eng. form in 16th c. Yet in Tindale's New Test., 1525–34, the form Iesu was generally used where the Gr. has Ἰησοῦ, the Vulgate Iesu, in the vocative and oblique cases. This was, as a rule, retained by Coverdale 1535, and in the Great Bible 1539, also, in the vocative instances, in the Bishops' Bible 1568; but in representing the Gr. oblique cases, this has Iesus. Iesu disappeared from the Geneva 1557 (exc. in one place), and from the Rhemish 1582, and the version of 1611. Jesu was frequent in the earlier forms of the Book of Common Prayer, and survives in one place; in later use it occurs in hymns, rarely in nom. or obj., but frequently in the vocative. In hymns, the possessive Jesus' is commonly sung |ˈdʒiːzjuːz|.
In ME. the name was rarely written in full, being usually represented by the abbreviations ihu, and ihc, ihs, ihus, or iħu, etc.: see IHS. These have been commonly expanded by modern editors as Ihesu, Ihesus, forms which occur occasionally in MSS. and in early 16th c. printed books.]
