The possessive form (the car of Jesus) would be Jesus' car.

If we say Jesus is 11. Would it also be Jesus' 11? Jesus's 11?

Best Answer

In general. people avoid forming a contraction with a word ending in S and the verb "is".

Of all the diet and fitness "experts", Richard Simmmons's probably the one I like least. It's not only strange-looking, it's a whole mouthful of mumbles when one tries to say it aloud.

It falls into the same category as contracting "am not" as "ain't". It isn't advisable.
