No.
The name 'Jesus' means 'he who saves'.
The other names of Jesus mean as follows:
'The Messiah' or 'The Christ' means 'The anointed one'
'Emmanuel' means 'God with us' referring to Jesus' divinity.
The silly idea that Jesus means 'son of Zeus' is a result of bigoted idiots thinking that they know a great deal about scripture having read one or two bogus websites plus, perhaps, a Dan Brown novel.

"Jesus stems from the Greek word "Iesous" which was a very loose translation of Yahshua.
The Greeks were obsessed with the gods, so it makes sense that in the Greek language, Iesous translates to "son of Zeus". But this perverts the name of the Son of God into something less than what he is. He was NOT the son of an imaginary philandering lightning thrower.
The real problem here is that we (as a Christian community) have used the translated Greek into our language. We SHOULD have translated the Hebrew and ignored the Greek name altogether. When the Angel spoke to Mary, it said His name would be "Yahshua". "Yahshua" is the name given from the throne of the I AM to his son. So, any name we call him should be translated off the original name, not a Greek perversion.
The name Jesus does come from 2 greek words meaning "son of Zeus." That is the problem encountered by translating from the pagan greek instead of from the Hebrew, the original writing of scriptures, in which we find the true name of the son of YAHWEH, and that son's name is, not was, YESHUA/YAHSHUA.
The word iesous does mean son of Zeus while the name YESHUA/YAHSHUA means YAHWEH IS SALVATION, Joshua in English. The church has chosen the wrong name for all these centuries. Truth will prevail though, every time.
Jesus was the son of God and Mary was his mother
Jesus is the son of god. But his earthly father was Joseph.
No.
No the earthly parents of Jesus are Joseph and Mary.
The words are bear bore born. Writing in: past tense -- Mary bore a son, named Jesus. present perfect -- Mary has borne a son, named Jesus.
jesus
Just a thought... how can Mary be her own son's son?
Baby Jesus was the son of God and Mary.
Mary was the mother of God's son, Jesus.
Zeus is a god of the ancient Greek pantheon and is not mentioned in the Bible. The Bible says that Mary gave birth to Jesus.
No, Jesus was not King Herod's son. Jesus' mother was Mary, who was not related to Herod. Jesus was born in Bethlehem to Mary and Joseph, and Herod the Great was the ruler of Judea at the time of Jesus' birth.
AnswerNever by son of Mary Jesus.
