What is the singular possessive of the name Jesus?

Answer 1

It is common to write, "Jesus' disciples."

In general, you make a noun (common or proper) possessive by adding apostrophe and 's':

Mark's desk is near the teacher's desk.

The same applies to common nouns ending with 's'"

This is the boss's office.

When a proper name ends with 's,' usage is divided. Some people prefer apostrophe + s in all cases:

Charles's tie, Jesus's beard, Achilles's heel.

Other people would add only apostrophe in all these cases.

Yet other people would make a distinction with Biblical or classical names:

Charles's tie, Jesus' beard, Achilles' heel.

Answer 2

There are two accepted forms for possessive singular nouns that end with an s:

Add an apostrophe (') after the existing s at the end of the word: Jesus'
