It's spelled "Jesus" like in English, but is pronounced differently. The J is in German pronounced like Y in English, s is pronounced like z in English, the u is pronouned like in "push", and the e is pronouned a way that doesn't exist in English, similarly like in "send", but not exactly like this and I don't know how to explain.

Jesus, pronounced YAY-zoos. But if you're asking about the swear word, Germans are not so blasphemous as to use the Lord's name in vain (unlike some Americans). If I HAD to translate that into a swear word, I would say, "Du grosser Gott!" or something.

I think it's "Jesu". I once heard a piece of music
that had the phrase: O Jesu, o Meister... .

It's pronounced the same..Jesus is a formal name, so pronunciation is the same.

You write it the same as in English, but pronounce it Yesus. The "u" like the "u" in "push".
