When writing the possessive form of any name, we add an apostrophe and an S. Bob's, Wendy's, Carlos's, etc. However, I've never seen Jesus written formally with 's attached. It's always just an apostrophe, a possessive form we reserve only for plural nouns ending in S (e.g. "the grapes' container").
Where did this anomaly come from? Is it really considered proper form? Are there any other names that get the same bizarre treatment?
