iPhone's 'Select to Speak' feature unable to pronounce 'Jesus'

After pressing the screen on any text message, it gives you the option for it to speak the words , tho it doesn’t say Jesus which is written, tho if you write down any other faith Gods it clearly speaks them.


It clearly can say , Jean and John.

It can say these faithful groups

Mohammed , Jehovah witnesses, catholic Church, Hindus


Tho it can’t say Jesus!

is there a way of changing it so it can speak it ?
