Jesus carries an ordinal value of 74 in English gematria, reducing to the master number Eleven, which is frequently cited in Christian numerology circles as fitting for a name tied to spiritual revelation. It's worth noting English-letter gematria on a name transliterated from Hebrew (Yeshua) and Greek (Iesous) is a modern overlay rather than a value the original languages themselves would have produced — the far older and more established gematria tradition calculates entirely different values from the Hebrew and Greek letterforms directly, values that don't carry over to the English spelling at all. Readers researching gematria specifically as a Hebrew or Greek discipline should treat the English ordinal value here as a separate, later system rather than a continuation of that older one.
