Question

Is there a letter in the greek alphabet that sounds like j as in joe.?

Answer 1

No.

Which makes it a bit odd that so many Christians call the founder of their religion "Jesus" with a "g-sounding" letter J, doesn't it?

Answer 2

No.  They use TZ to sound like J

Answer 3

No.

The sound of j in Joe is equivalent to the Greek τζ / ΤΖ

Answer 4

no and  not in latin somtimes they use tz  

Answer 5

No, a J doesn't exist in Greek, while iota was the closest but is pronounced i (like English ee).

Z or delta plus zeta (DZ) could do too

Answer 6

Yes. Iota. The original Greek of the New Testament uses the name Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous), a rendition of the Hebrew Yeshua, for the proper name Jesus. In fact, the letter J did not exist in English as a letter separate from I until the sixteenth century.
