Hi Mike

"Man's" implies possessive or ownership. "Mans" would be an improper way of multiple man but should in fact be "Men" but that would make no sense.  Also when using a name that ends in "s" such as Jesus.  The proper possessive would be "Jesus'" the extra "s" is not necessary and is optional.
