Jesus was a religious leader who was the founder of Christianity.
He is mentioned in the songs:
- What Kind Of Girl Do You Think We Are: "Magic Jesus by the bed".
- Magdalena: "In the little chartreuse hallway with the little neon Jesus picture on the wall".
- The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing: The title refers to Jesus' message "The meek shall inherit the Earth". The lyrics mention: "Those Jesus Freaks, well, they're friendly but /the shit they believe has got their minds all shut / An' they don't even care when the church takes a cut / Ain't it bleak when you got so much nothin' "
- Jesus Thinks You're A Jerk
- When The Lie's So Big: "That sinister face behind all the Jesus hurrah" (...) by this treacherous cretin who tells everyone that he's Jesus' best friend
- Promiscuous: "If Jesus practiced medicine, I'm sure he'd do it just like him."
- A Few Moments With Brother A. West
- Lonesome Cowboy Burt (Swaggart Version): "I wanna love 'em all in the name of Jesus!"
The exclamation Mother, Mary 'n Jozef, which reappears in some of Zappa's songs refers to Jesus' parents, Joseph and Mary.
