A Jesus for every town. Loaves and fish for all would solve the upcoming global food crisis and rising sea levels can be turned into a non-stop party by changing the flood water into wine.

Fun fact: Jesus isn't dead. The prophet will help Imam Mahdi in the fight against Dajjal when it's almost Judgement Day. We don't need to clone him as his return is certain. Just wait a few centuries. Or millennia.

That's not a second coming. That's forcing Jesus out. Anyway, how do we even know whatever's left is Jesus'? We could end up with some random tomb robber.

To improve genetic engineering and to obtain his powers is the right answer.

I just saw the title and have to say, this sounds fun.
How do we know the relics are Jesus though? People might accidentally clone someone completely different.
That sounds funny though. Let's do it.

You sure about that? Japan could use another.
No thanks. I don't want to re-live my late grandma live during occupation of Japan. Still, though... I might look cool with a Type 99 and IJA Para uniform...
Or, talking about genocidal dictator... anyone want to be literally sacked and never found...?
As to OP question. Nope, not a really good idea. Had I been a fanatic, I'll chase you all over Netherlands, even if I have to wait for few more years to get scholarship. Luckily, I'm not. Because clones aren't exact copy. And Jesus is Jesus, and while you can, in theory clone him, it's not him, just a copy of him.

First of all, many of the Holy Relics are fake- the Catholics loved making them up.
Second of all, according to my personal faith, Jesus was a part of God theirself, so I don't know whether that would be a good idea or not.
Third of all, DNA has an expiry date that is very short, and Jesus' DNA would have long since expired. It wouldn't be possible unless we literally traveled back in time and asked him to spit in a cup.

We seem to be basing this on the Holy Prepuce, yes?
I'm afraid that ship has sailed. Of the multiple claimants to be the authentic foreskin of Our Lord, the last known survivor was stolen in 1983.
Blaat will be happy to learn that his best chance of finding something purporting to contain Jesus DNA is in fact
much closer to home. See
also here.
For what it's worth, it would be easier to clone Muhammed.
Largely because
we know where he's buried.
I'm sure the Saudis would prove amenable

On OP's question.
No, if he is cloned he would order us to do stuff.
I don't want Jesus to take the wheel, i want to keep sinning!.
Plus, he won't be him, as others said, that clone is just a copy.
Go back the to barn Blaat.

We're not allowed to talk about how it got radiocarbon-dated to the thirteenth century.

What if it was stolen by scientists for this very purpose? For all we know, Clone Jesus could already be among us.

A clone is still a separate organism.
You can't clone memories, souls, and the Godhead made flesh.
