rayww,
Now the translation of Yeshua to Greek becomes problematic, for the letters do not interchange from Hebrew to Greek. There is no letter in Greek for the sound [y] or [sh].
Iota and Eta are two Greek letters that sound as [eeay] and [sh] used the letter Sigma. So the best transliteration of Yahushua, or Yeshua, in Greek was eeaysooah. Now it is my understanding that an [s] also had to be added on the end in the Greek under these circumstances of the ah ending , and became [eeaysooahs]. Judah in the Hebrew becomes Judas in the Greeek.
