As I mentioned above, the Latin plural would not be Jesi, but Jesūs.

Fourth Declension, the bane of those who don't know Latin and try to put words into the plural. It's the same reason they say in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

Minor addendum: it seems to be a defective fourth declension. The plural should still be Iesūs.

So is it Jesūs, Jesii, or Jesuses then?

Well, in English I'd assume it's Jesuses. In Latin it would be Iesūs.
