The word play between the Hebrew words for “Jesus” and “save” occur in the Gospel of Matthew before Jesus is born and when He dies on the cross.

Matthew 1:21 And she will give birth to a son, and you shall call his name Jesus {“Jesus” Yeshua (ישו״ע)}, for he will save {“Save” yushua (יושיע)} his people from their sins.

Matthew 27:49 The rest said, “Let him alone. Let us see if Elijah will come to save {“Save” yushua (יושיע)} him.” 50 And Jesus {“Jesus” Yeshua (ישו״ע)} cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.

Acts 02:38 and 04:12 - Why is it impossible to be saved without Jesus?

In Hebrew, the name “Jesus” (ישוע) means “save” (יושיע). So it would be impossible to be “saved” (יושיע) without using the name of “Jesus” (ישוע).

Matthew 01:21 “And she will give birth to a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”

Acts 02:38 “Repent!” Peter [said] to them, “and be baptized every one of you on the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 04:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
