If Jesus was a regular noun and not a name it would pluralize to jesi due to the latin -us. However it is a proper noun so it doesn't have a proper plural form just Jesuses when referring to a group of people called Jesus.
As a sidenote there never was a person called Jesus, it is the latin interpretation of a hebrew name Yeshu.

There is no plural as such but if you had a bunch of men named Jesus and you wanted them to one side then you may say
'All the Jesuses over here.'
Jesus's is possessive like 'Jesus's robe.'
It could be written Jesus's, Jesu or Jesuses but NOT Jesi. That's just Alan Partridge making a cheap joke.

I think Jesuses makes more sense. If you said Jesi in the sentence you'd probably confuse people (like the people who say only one person ever was named Jesus.)

Give it up Reaper, it's the only horse they own.
I say Jesuses, cause it sounds funnier

You may find this rather interesting...
If they are all in the same room, like in a church or something like that, you know, a temple thing or the freemason`s hall it would technically be a `Jesate of Jesi in the Jesoleum`

Without even researching, my mind went immediately to the whole notion of the "second coming" which made me think of the "return of the Jedi" which leads me to think of the "return of the Jesi." But be careful now, is "Jedi" plural or singular? Was there more than one Jedi?

Jesus' or, even more incorrectly, Jesus's, would be something belonging to Jesus: i.e. Jesus' beard.
The apostrophe isn't used for plurals. Therefore CD's, DVD's etc is used by thickos. (Not thicko's.)
And there is more than one Jesus, most religions have their own version of him. Also, it's a name.

Apostrophes are NOT used to form plurals except for letters and symbols. The plural of Jesus would be Jesuses.

There is no plural form since there is only 1 Jesus.
