bookworms asked:
     using the bash built-in test command [[, write a bash statement that matches Jesus or Jesuses with regex for the comparative and without the use of sed, awk or grep AND without repeating the word Jesus to make it more efficient WITHOUT GREP

Sure, master bookworms, here is a bash statement that matches "Jesus" or "Jesuses" using regex and the bash builtin test command:

if [[ "$var" =~ ^Je(sus)?es$ ]]; then
echo "It matches!"
fi

This code uses a regular expression to match the string "Jesus" or "Jesuses". The ^ and $ anchors ensure that the entire string must match, and the (sus)? makes the "sus" part optional. So, it will match either "Jesus" or "Jesuses". The [[ ]] syntax is used for pattern matching in bash, and the =~ operator tests if the string on the left matches the regex on the right. If the match is successful, the code inside the if block will be executed, in this case, printing "It matches!".
