“Iesous” greek for Jesus is pronounced "EE-AY-SOOS." If you follow the link below, you will find the evolution of the name Jesus and how translations modified it's pronunciation in each language.

It goes without saying that Acts 4:11 (the antecedent to the pronouns in v. 12) does not read the English name "Jesus" in the original Greek manuscripts. The English language did not yet exist. It is true that Peter did not say "Jesus" was the Messiah’s name, but neither did He say that His name was the Paleo-Hebraic spelling/pronunciation of the modern Yeshua. Peter said His name was Iesous, the Greek name for Jesus.

Since jesus never actually existed, it's a moot point. Go up to a Greek person and ask them to say the word jesus with their Greek accent -- that's the only way you'll get your wish .....

According to my CD-ROM Greek Tutor "Jesus" is pronounced "Yesus" or "EE-seus"
"Krystos" means "Christ"
