Peace be upon you John,
Welcome to the board. I ask Allah Almighty to further guide you to Islam. Ameen.
In regards to the Lord Isa (Jesus), peace be upon him, you're wrong on a few things:
1- His name isn't Jesus. It's Isa (eesa). Even according to your Greek and Latin sources, his name was Iesu and/or Iesus. Please visit:
www.answering-christianity.com/isa.htm2- The Bible declares in Psalm 91, Psalm 116-118 and Isaiah 53 that he will never die from his enemies.
3- Isaiah 52, Psalm 91, Psalm 116-118 and Isaiah 53 also declare that GOD Almighty will lift him up and save him.
4- Islam came and confirmed all of these claims.

www.answering-christianity.com/convert_christians.htmPsalm 116:16 even references Jesus and Mary:Interestingly enough, John, Psalm 116:16 references Jesus and his Mother, Mary, peace be upon both of them. This is more confirmation that the books that I mentioned above from the Bible do indeed confirm that Jesus was never to die on the cross, nor ever get crucified. And here both Jesus and Mary are referenced as GOD Almighty's Slaves. "Abd" is translated as "servant", but it's the same exact word used for the Jews gentile slaves. "Abd" is also the same in Arabic. Like the first three letters in my last name. Please visit:
