Discrepancies in the Bible and Refuting the Crucifixion Doctrine




Dear brother, you mentioned in your message that you like frankness and truth, which is nice. Based on this, I would like to clarify some points, so that we can distinguish between what is right and what is wrong. As you know, giving examples makes things crystal clear, and that’s what I will do herein.

Firstly, let us discuss an important and vital matter, that is to say the crucifixion issue. One of the miracles of Holy Quran is that it absolutely negated the crucifixion of Jesus in one verse and one context. Verse (4:157) of the Noble Quran states: ((And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah ." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; Only a likeness of that was shown to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain)).

But when refuting other wrong beliefs, like (“Allah is Jesus”) or (Jesus is Allah’s son), the Noble Quran refuted and corrected such wrong beliefs in several verses and contexts, as the same are definitely deemed flagrant atheism.

Almost one third of the Noble Quran was allocated to emphasize monotheism (Oneness of Allah) as first and foremost step for belief, and that was summarized in one conclusive and inclusive chapter, that is chapter 112 (Surat Al-Ikhlas), which says: ((1- Say: He is Allah, The one; 2- Allah, the Eternal, Absolute, 3- He begetteth not, Nor is He begotten, 4- And there is none like unto Him)).



Now if we argued that Quran was not revealed by Allah or was invented by Prophet Mohammad, it will be more appropriate for Prophet Mohammad to adopt the idea of crucifixion in order to increase his followers, as such idea was common. And by that, he would also have attracted and persuaded the Christians, and would have overcome a lot of challenges and obstacles that prevent them from accepting Islam.

In fact, it is easy for a Christian person to transform from certain Christian sect to another because such sects share many common ideologies. Also, in the past, a lot of Roman pagans converted to Christianity when they found many common ideologies between Christianity and their doctrines. Such as the concept of incarnated god, as well as other ideas and rituals, as I will demonstrate in detail hereinafter.


However, a Christian converting to Islam is not as easy as the afore-mentioned situations; contrary, it is deemed a revolution in his life and belief because it changes and corrects many inherited concepts and beliefs.


The Noble Quran did not go a long with the wrong tenets and beliefs of Christians; contrary, it has clearly corrected them; for example, believing that (God is Jesus himself) or (Jesus is God’s Son) is deemed an unforgivable disbelief and atheism.

In the context of talking about killing Jesus in the Noble Quran, verse 4:155 states: ((And We cursed them (The Jews) for their breaking of the covenant and their disbelief in the signs of Allah and their killing of the prophets without right)). It did not state that Jesus was killed although the context is talking about Jesus and about the crimes of the Jews who used to kill prophets. The Noble Quran has completely negated that Jesus was killed or crucified, because that did not happen actually.

The Noble Quran does not say except the truth, whether such truth conforms to the old or inherited beliefs or not. Before proceeding to discuss crucifixion and other issues, I would like to share an important rule that governs all issues and matters, that is “Anything that involves doubts or uncertainties cannot be taken as evidence”.
According to the rules of justice, if the testimonies of two witnesses contained discrepancy or inconsistency, the judge shall disregard such two testimonies, unless a third witness comes and confirms the testimony of any of them; otherwise, there will be no justice.




Now, let us discuss the story crucifixion as narrated in the Bibles. The story started by talking about the attempts to kill Jesus and ended by handing a person on the cross, crying helpless, followed by shrouding and burying him.


* Crucifixion:

1- Judas agreed with Jews and priests to deliver Jesus to them:-

I Judas Iscariot agreed with Jews to deliver Jesus to them in consideration of thirty sliver pieces. Matthew 26: ((14-Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, 15- And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. 16- And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him)).

Mark 14: ((10-And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them. 11- And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him)). He did not specify the number of silver pieces.

Luke 22: ((3- Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 4- And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. 5- And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. 6- And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude)). He did not specify the number of silver pieces

Judas agreed with the Jews to deliver Jesus to them and they undertook with Judas to give him silver but these two Bibles did not specify the amount of silver. Here we note that the said three Bibles established a motive for Judas for delivery of Jesus, that is to say obtaining silver pieces. Mathew specified by thirty pieces, while Mark and Luke left did not specify them; however, Luke specified in his book “Acts of the Apostles”.



2- The sign by which the disciples knew who wil deliver Jesus to the Jews:

Matthew 26: ((23-And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. 25- Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said)) i.e. the matter is as I said. The sign is to dip the hand in the dish. Before finishing their food, the disciples knew that Judas will commit this horrible crime.

Mark 14: ((20- And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish)). Mark agreed with Matthew in respect of the sign. That is to say dipping of hand in the dish with Jesus, but Mark did not mention that Jesus indicated a certain thing to Judas as in Matthew, but he only said he is one of the twelve. So he in (Matthew) became known to all disciples, but in (Mark) he is one of the disciples without specification; so each disciple thought that he might be that one, until Judas came and delivered Jesus to the Jews.

Luke 22: ((21- But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. … 23- And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing)). Luke did not specify the sign, he just mentioned “the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table”. When the disciples asked him who is he? He did not answer. Of course all of them were eating and their hands is with Jesus on the Table.

But (John) deviated far beyond these Bibles by mentioning a different sign. John 13: ((26- Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.” Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot)). Therefore, before finishing their food, all of them knew the one who will hand over Jesus to the Jews.
So, the discrepancies and differences are as the following:
a)

A disciple dips his hand in the dish with Jesus (Matthew and Mark).

b) The hand of the disciple is with Jesus on the table (Luke).

c) Jesus is the one who will dip the piece of bread and give it to the disciple (John) .

d) The disciple who will deliver Jesus to the Jews became known to the disciples at time of taking food (Matthew and John).

e) The disciple who will deliver Jesus was not known at time of taking food (Mark and Luke).

So, which Bible shall we believe? Which one is right and which one is wrong? No one knows.


2. The last supper – Judas betrayal:

Mark 14: ((17- And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. 18- And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you. One of you which eateth with me shall betray me. 19- And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it? 20- And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. 21- The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! Good were it for that man if he had never been born. 22- And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. 23- And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. 24- And he said unto them, This is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many)).

Matthew made some changes on the narrative of Mark.
Matthew 22: ((22- When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way. 23- The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him))
As for the narrative of John, it is different from that of the three Bibles, and such difference can easily be noted. See John 13: ((21- When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said. Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 22- Then the disciples looked one o another, doubting of whom he spake; 23- Now there was leaning on Jesus bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24- Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. 25- He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? 26- Jesus answered. He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon 27- And after the sop, Satan entered into him . Then said Jesus unto him. That thou doest, do quickly. 28- Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. 29- For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him. Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor. 30- He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night)).
But the important point related to Judas betrayal is the difference in Bibles regarding incident of Satan entering into him:


A. Luke 22: ((3- Then Satan entered Judas … 7-Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed)). It indicates that the Satan entered into Judas one day at least before the supper.

B. John 13: ((27- As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him)). It indicates that the Satan entered into Judas after Jesus had given him the bread, during the last supper.

3) Peter Denying Jesus :-

Matthew 26: ((34- Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice)).
Luke 22: ((34- And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me)).
John 13: ((38-Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice)).
Mark 14: ((30- And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice)).

a) In Matthew: Jesus told Peter that he will deny him (Jesus) three times, and after the third denial, the cock shall crow.
b) Each of (Luke and John) agreed with (Matthew) about such point.
c) C) Mark disagreed with them. He mentioned that the cock shall crow two times during the three denials.
This is the first difference in this issue i.e. the cock crew once or twice?

?Discrepancy in the Bibles regarding who identified Peter
Matthew 26 ((69- Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. 70- But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. 71- And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth. 72- And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man. 73- And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. 74- Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. 75- And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly)).



Mark 14 ((66- And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest: 67- And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth. 68- But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew. 69- And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. 70- And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto. 71- But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak. 72- And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept)).



Luke 22 ((56- But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. 57- And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. 58- And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. 59- And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean. 60- And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. 61- And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice)).



John 18 ((17- Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not……… 25- And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not. 26- One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him? 27- Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew)).

How many times cock criesWho Identifies PeterName of Bible
Third TimeSecond TimeFirst Time-----

As such, the Bibles are identical about the first one who identified Peter, but are different about the second and third ones.

4) The sign by which Jewish know Jesus:
Matthew 26 ((48- Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. 49-And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him)).

Mark 14 ((44- And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely. 45- And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him)).


Luke 22 ((47- And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. 48- But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?)).

John 18 ((4- Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? 5- They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 6- As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground 7- Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. 8- Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way)).

Thus, the sign is :
1)
.(Judas kissing Jesus in three Bibles (Matthew, Mark and Luke).
2)
(Jesus telling them two times that he is Jesus of Nazareth (John).

5) What disciples did when Jesus was arrested:
Matthew 26 ((56- But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled. 57- And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. 58- But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end)).

Mark 14 ((50- And they all forsook him, and fled. 51- And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him: 52- And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked. 53- And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. 54- And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire)).

John 18 ((15- And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest. 16- But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter)).

So, the one who followed Jesus after arrest
:
a) One man i.e. Peter; the disciple of Jesus (Matthew & Luke)
b) Two men i.e. Peter and the young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; (mark).

6)
False Witnesses:
Matthew 26 ((60- But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, 61- And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days)).


Mark 14 ((57- And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, 58- We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands)).


Luke 22 ((70- Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. 71- And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth)).

Here are the discrepancies in the Bibles about the false witnesses:
A)
There is a false testimony (Matthew & Mark).
B)
There is no false testimony but a confession by Jesus (Luke).
C)
The false testimony is: I am able to destroy the temple of God (Matthew).
D)
The false testimony is: I will destroy this temple that is made with hands (Mark).
E)
Two false witnesses testified against Jesus (Matthew).
F)
All people testified against Jesus (Mark).
G)
No one testified against Jesus (Luke).

7)
Smiting the servant by sword :
Matthew 26 ((51- And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear. 52- Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. 53- Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?))


Mark 14 ((47 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear)).


Luke 22 ((50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 51- And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him)).


John 18 ((10- Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. 11- Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?)).


Here are the differences regarding this event:
A)
Only Matthew mentioned about twelve legions of angels.
B)
Only Luke mentioned healing of the ear when Jesus touched it.
C)
Only John mentioned the name of the hitter and the victim. The hitter was Peter while the victim is the servant Malchus.


8)
Judas Hanged Himself:
Matthew 27 ((3- Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4- Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? See thou to that. 5- And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself)).
Other than Matthew, the other Bibles did not mention any thing about what Judas did when Jesus was arrested and harmed by the soldiers, servants and priests.


9)
The Discussion between the priest and Jesus :
Mathew 26: ((62- And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? 63- But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. 64- Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless, I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 65- Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy)).


Luke 22 ((66- And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, 67- Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: 68- And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. 69- Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God)).

Mark 14 ((60- And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? 61- But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? 62- And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven)).

John 18 ((19- The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. 20- Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. 21- Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said)).

?Who is the questioner and what is the Question
A) Matthew: The questioner is the High Priest and the question is: Is Jesus son of Allah?
B) Mark: The questioner is the High Priest and the question is: Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
C) Luke: The questioner is the present people and the question is: Art thou the Christ?
D) John: The questioner is the High Priest and the question was about: Jesus’s disciples, and his doctrine.
E) Mark and Mathew: Jesus coming in the clouds.
F) Luke and John: Did not mention that he will come in the clouds.

As such, there is difference between the Bibles regarding the questioner, the question, and the answer. Also, some of such questions and answers indicate that Jesus is son of Allah while others indicate that he is a prophet for people.

10)
Bearer of the Cross:

Mathew 27 ((32- And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross)).

Mark 15 ((21- And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross)).

Luke 23 ((26- And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus)).

John 19 ((16- Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. 17- And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha)).


Who is the bearer of the cross
?
A) Mathew, Mark and Luke: The bearer of the cross is Simon a Cyrenian.
B) John: The bearer of the cross is Jesus himself.

Matthew and John were two of the original Twelve Apostles. They were often with Jesus and were inspired by the Holy Spirit; so how they differ in such incident.


11)
Giving Jesus a drink before crucifixion:


Mathew ((27:34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. 27:48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink)).

Mark ((15:23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. 15:36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down)).

Luke ((23:36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar)).

John ((19:28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. 19:29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost)).


Differences
:

A. Mathew and Mark: When Jesus called God, one of the soldiers brought spunge with vinegar and made him drink.

B. Luke: The soldiers tried to make Jesus drink vinegar. But Luke did not mention that it was mingled with gall/ myrrh.

C. John: Jesus asked for a drink. They gave him vinegar and he drank it.


12)
Jesus upon crucifixion:

Luke ((23:33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. 23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, to day shalt thou be with me in paradise)).


John ((19:25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 19:26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 19:27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home)).

A. (Mathew and Mark) did not mention that Jesus made certain statement in such situation.

B.
(Luke and John) gave two different narratives:

1-
(Luke) stated that Jesus asked his Father to forgive those who crucified him and said to one of the malefactors that he will be in Paradise with Jesus because he defended him.

2-
(John) mentioned that upon crucifixion, his mother was standing with some women. Also, the beloved disciple of Jesus was standing there and he told his mother that such disciple is just like her son.

3-
(Luke) alone mentioned such prayers, which were not only deleted from the other bibles, but also deleted from some important versions attributed to Luke himself.


13)
After Giving up the Ghost :


Mathew ((27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 27:53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 27:54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God)).

Mark: ((15:37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. 15:38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. 15:39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God)).

Luke: ((23:47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man)).

John: ((19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. 19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 19:32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. 19:33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water)).


Reading the afore-mentioned texts, we noticed the following
:

A) (Mathew) alone mentioned the following miracles: (The earth did quake, and the rocks rent; the graves were opened; many bodies of the saints which slept arose and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city).

B) (John) alone mentioned the story of breaking the legs and the blood coming out of Jesus’s side.

C) (Mathew & Mark) mentioned that the soldiers testified and admitted that Jesus is son of God.

D) (Luke) mentioned that the centurion is the one who was astonished, then testified and admitted that Jesus was a righteous man.

E) As per the narrative of Mark (15: 37-47) Jesus’s body was never anointed after death; contrary to what was stated by John (19:40).

F) (Mathew) alone mentioned (27: 62-66) that the Jews requested Pilate to send soldiers to secure the tomb. “so they went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard”.


14-
Resurrection of Jesus:

a)
Those who came to see Jesus’s sepulcher:-

B)
What the women have seen when coming to the sepulcher
?

Matthew: ((28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. 28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it)).

Mark: ((16:2 And very early ………… 4- And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And entering into the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted)).

Luke: ((24:1 Now upon the first day ………. 2- And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher. 3- And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 4- And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments)).

John: ((20:1- ………. 2- Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the LORD out of the sepulcher, and we know not where they have laid him. 3- Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulcher. 11- But Mary stood without at the sepulcher weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulcher, 12- And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain)).

The discrepancy about what the women have seen
:

1)
Mark: The Angel of the Lord descended before the women came, sat in the tomb, then the women saw the Angel of the Lord.

2)
Matthew: The Angel of the Lord descended at the time when the two women came, then rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

3)
Luke: Two angels descended before the women came. The stone was rolled back before they reach. When they looked, they saw two angels stood by them.

4)
John: Two angels descended before Marry comes for the second time. They rolled back the rock before she comes, then they sat within the sepulcher. When she looked into the sepulcher, she saw the two angels.

5)
Mark: When the women reached the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment.

6)
Mathew: His appearance was like lightning and his clothing was white as snow.

7)
Luke: Two men in shining garments.

8)
John: Two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet.


After seeing the Sepulcher
:
Mark: ((16: 1-8 …… Then they went out and fled from the tomb, seized with trembling and bewilderment. They said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid)).

Matthew: ((28: 1-8 ….. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: He has been raised from the dead…. then they went away quickly from the tomb, fearful yet overjoyed, and ran to announce this to his disciples)).


Here we observe the following
:
1-
Mark: The women did not obey the order of the angels because they were afraid.

2-
Matthew: The women obeyed the order of the angels and gave full report to the disciples about what they have seen.


C)
When Jesus appeared to women
:
Matthew: ((28:9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. 10- Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. 11- Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. 12- And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, 13- Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept)).

Mark: ((16:9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. 10- And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept)).

Luke: ((24:13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. 14- And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15- And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them)).

John: ((20:11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulcher, 15 - Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? ………… Jesus saith unto her, ….. but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto ………. 18 - Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her. …. 20- ….)).


The discrepancy between the Bibles regarding when and to whom Jesus appeared
:
1)
Matthew: Jesus appeared to two women.

2)
Mark and John: Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene only.

3)
Luke: Jesus did not appear to women for the first time, but he appeared to men.

4)
Matthew: Jesus appeared to the two women when they were on their way back to the city.

5)
John: Jesus appeared to Mary when she stood at the sepulcher.

6)
Matthew and Mark: Jesus requested the two women to tell his disciples that they go into Galilee, and there they will see him.

7)
John: Jesus asked the woman to go to the disciples and to tell them that Jesus is going to his Father and their Father.

8)
Mark mentioned one young man sitting on the right side of the tomb, but Luke mentioned two men. Mark (16:7- But go and tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you); however, Luke stated that the appearance of Jesus did not took place in Galilee, but in Jerusalem and its surroundings (Luke 24:13-35).

D)
Appearance of Jesus to Disciples
:
Mathew 28 ((16- The eleven* disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them. 17- When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.18- Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me)).

Mark 16 ((14- later, as the eleven were at table, he appeared to them and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart because they had not believed those who saw him after he had been raised. 15- He said to them, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature)).

Luke 24 ((13- Now that very day two of them were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus…. 30- And it happened that, while he was with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. 31- With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight. 32- Then they said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning [within us] while he spoke to us on the way and opened the scriptures to us?” 33- So they set out at once and returned to Jerusalem where they found gathered together the eleven and those with them….52- they did him homage and then returned to Jerusalem with great joy)).

John 20: ((14- When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus there, but did not know it was Jesus. 15- Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” She thought it was the gardener ... 19- On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.”20- When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord…. 26- Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you…)).

John 21: (1- After this, Jesus revealed himself again to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself in this way.))

There is discrepancy in the Bibles regarding how many times Jesus appeared, how he appeared, to whom he appeared and what were the things he requested from his disciples
:
1)
How many times Jesus appeared
:-
• Matthew: Two times
• Mark and Luke: Three times.
• John: Four times.

2) To whom Jesus appeared
:-

A)
Mathew: 1- Mary Magdalene 2- The eleven disciples

B)
Mark: 1- Mary Magdalene 2- Two followers; not disciples. 3- The eleven disciples.

C) Luke: 1- Two followers; not disciples. 2- Simon. 3- Disciples.

D)
John: 1- Mary Magdalene. 2- The disciples without Thomas. 3- The disciples with Thomas.

E-
The disciples who were fishing
:
1-
Mark, Mathew and John: Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene; but she did not know him and thought that he is the gardener. Luke has completely different narrative. He stated that Jesus appeared first to two men going to Emmaus Village.

2-
Mark, Mathew and Luke: Jesus appeared one time only to the disciples. But John talked about appearing three times in different ways.

3-
Mark and Mathew: Jesus appeared to the eleven disciples in Galilee. Luke and John: Jesus appeared to the eleven disciples in Jerusalem.

4-
Most importantly, all Bibles agreed that the person who appeared to Mary Magdalene and the Disciples was strange man. They did not know him. They were in doubt whether he was Jesus or not, although they were living with Jesus and knew him very well. Consequently, how can we know whether it is really Jesus or another person who appeared to Marry and the Disciples
?

[B]As such, it is clear that the opponents of Jesus i.e. chief priests and guards, did not see resurrection of Jesus and did not see Jesus after resurrection. The only thing they agreed upon is that they found the tomb, in which Jesus said to be buried, empty. So, stating that Jesus raised from the dead but no one saw him is a matter lacking the factual grounds, because of the discrepancy between the Bibles regarding such resurrection, although resurrection of Jesus is deemed one of the fundamental pillars of the Christian doctrine.


See the story of (Daniel) who came out alive from the den of lions. Daniel 6: ((15- Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed. 16 - Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee. 17 - And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel. 18- Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him. 19 - Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions. 20 - 20 And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? 21- Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. 22- My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. 23- Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God. 24- And the king commanded, and they brought tho se men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den)).

In the story of Daniel, both of the friends and enemies confirmed and testified the story, which is deemed sufficient evidence to substantiate such event. However, in the story of Jesus, this did not happen. No one of the opponents of Jesus saw him after death. (Mathew Commentary, page 448-450).

To substantiate the resurrection of Jesus, both opponents and friends should have seen Jesus raising from the dead, which is a missing element that renders the story of Jesus resurrection groundless.

3-
What Jesus requested his disciples to do
:
Mathew 28-19: a- Go therefore and make disciples of all nations. b- baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Mark 16:15: Proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.

Luke 24:47: Repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name. 49: stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.

John 21:5: Children, do you have any fish.


4-
What Jesus given to the disciples
:
Mathew 28:20: I am with you always, to the end of the age.

Mark 16: 17-18: Miracles similar to those of Jesus.

Other Remarks
:
Only Luke mentioned that Jesus has eaten broiled fish with the disciples.

Only John mentioned the story of Jesus’s appearance at Tiberias Lake.

Only Mark mentioned the story of the miracles given by Jesus to the disciples.

Although Mark, John and Luke mentioned that Jesus ascended to the heavens to be with his Father, Matthew did not mention such event although he is an inspired disciple of Jesus, and although such ascending is deemed one of the most important issues in the Christian doctrine.

Discrepancies regarding cleansing the temple, and the fig tree
:

Matthew: 21: (12- And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, 13- And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. 14- And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. 15- And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased, 16- And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? 17 - And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there. 18- Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. 19- And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. 20- And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! 21- Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done).

Mark : 11 (12- And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13- And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14- And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. 15- And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; 16- And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. 17- And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. 18- And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine. 19- And when even was come, he went out of the city. 20- And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21- And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22- And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23- For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24- Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them“.

Discrepancies:
1-
Matthew: Cleansing the temple by Jesus from the sellers and moneychangers happened before he passes by and curses the fig tree.
2-
Mark: The story of the fig tree happened before cleansing the temple.
3-
Matthew: Jesus passed by the fig tree, cursed it and the tree dried up in the same day.
4-
Mark: Jesus passed by the fig tree, cursed it and on the next day, it dried up.

Simple comment
:
Mark stated “for the time of figs was not yet”. So if Jesus is really God or Son of God, as said, isn’t it strange that he did not know that it was not the time of fig although the common people know such simple things! Also, he saw the fig tree afar off but did not see whether it has fig or not! The two bibles stated that such hungry god went to the tree but did not find fig, and cursed it!

Unfulfilled Predictions
:
A)
Predicting the end of world in first Gregorian century
:-
Matthew: ( 10 : 1 – 23 )


(... 23- When they persecute you in one city, flee to another; for truly I say to you, you will by no means complete the circuit of the cities of Israel until the Son of man arrives).


That is the return of Jesus to the earth will occur before his disciples finish evangelization in the cities of Israel, and before the death of those who lived in the era of Jesus in the first half of the first Gregorian century.


Mathew 16: (27- For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. 28 - Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom)


In other words, the afore-mentioned texts confirm that the end of the world and the coming of Jesus again to Earth should occur before the death of the generation which lived in the first Gregorian Century.

Matthew 24: (29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken 30- And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. ……. 34 - Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled).



Mark (13: 24-30) and Luke (21: 25-32) agreed with the narrative of Matthew regarding such predictions; however, nothing of them occurred as predicted by Matthew.

As such, the predictions, which were attributed to Jesus in the Bibles about the end of the world in the first Gregorian century, were not fulfilled; thus, no one can argue or plead otherwise.


B) Predicting that Judas the Betrayer will accompany Jesus in the Hereafter
:
Mathew 19: (27- Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? 28- And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel).


Judas Iscariot was one of the twelve disciples to whom this prophecy was said, but after his betrayal to Jesus, he became known as (Son of Perdition) because he was expelled from accompanying Jesus in this Life and in the Hereafter. Accordingly, this prophecy was not and cannot be fulfilled.

A
Predicting that Jesus will stay in tomb for three days and three nights
:
The summary of your reply in page (6) of your message, line (9) states: So Jesus raised on Sunday, in (the third day). Three days means three parts of such three days i.e. (Part of Friday + Saturday + part of the Sunday). In the past, they used to consider a part of day as one day. That is the way Christians understood it, and also, the Jews who addressed Jesus, and we nowadays also understood it like that. But what about the three nights mentioned by Jesus: (... and three nights, so shall it be ..... and three nights). How do you calculate these three nights!! It is Friday night + Saturday Night + a missing night which is Sunday night!...

Predicting that Jesus will stay in tomb for three days and three nights
:
The Jews asked Jesus to let them see a sign. Mathew 12: (38-Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” 39- But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40- For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth).

Such statement is common in all bibles and was mentioned in most of them. Mark mentioned it in (8:31, 9:31 and 10:34).

It is mentioned by Luke with significant difference, which is: Luke 11: (29- And as the crowds were thronging together, He began to say, This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it except the sign of Jonah. 30- For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation). The three days mentioned also by John (2:19).

In the Book of Jonah we read the story of Jonah as the following
:
Jonah 1:17 (Now the LORD provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights)

Jonah 2 (1- In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me 10- and the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land).
In order to fulfil such prophecy, the one who was crucified should remain in his tomb three days and three nights; however, the Bibles mentioned that the crucified person was taken from the cross Friday’s evening (The day of crucifixion), and then
:
(When evening had fallen, since it was the day of preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath. 43- Joseph, the honorable member of the Council, from Arimathea, who was also himself awaiting the kingdom of God, came; and gathering courage, he went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44- And Pilate marveled that He had already died, and calling to him the centurion, he questioned him whether He had been dead long. 45- And when he found out from the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph. 46- And Joseph purchased a piece of fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the fine linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which was hewn out of rock and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb). (Mark 15:42-46)

The disciples and followers of Jesus found the tomb empty in the early hours of Sunday Dawn.

Matthew 28: (1- Now late on the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary the Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave….. 5- And the angel answered and said to the women…. 6- He is not here, for He has been raised).
John 20:1 (Now on the first day of the week, Mary the Magdalene came early to the tomb while it was yet dark and saw the stone taken away from the tomb)

By calculating the days and nights, we find the following
:
- The number of days spent by the dead person in his tomb is 1 day only (Saturday).
- The number of nights spent by the dead person in his tomb is just two nights (Saturday night and part of Sunday night).

Accordingly, it is impossible to fulfill the prophecy of staying in the tomb for three days and three nights.

1) Anointing Jesus’s body with spikenard:-

Ø (Mark 14: 1 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death. 2- But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people. 3- And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head. 4- And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? 5- For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her).

Ø (Mathew) mentioned this incident in (26: 6-9) and also Luke (7: 36 – 39 “And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat…..“) and (John 12: 1-6).

The discrepancy between the Bibles:

Place of incident:

a) In the house of Simon the leper (Mark & Mathew).

b) In Pharisee’s house (Luke).

c) In the house of brothers Lazarus, Mary and Martha (John).

Who is the woman?

a) Unknown (Mark & Mathew).

b) Sinner woman (Luke).

c) Believing woman i.e. Mary the sister of Lazarus (John).

What did she do?

a) She anointed Jesus’s head with spikenard. (Mark & Mathew).

b) She anointed his legs with pure nard (Luke & John).

Reaction of onlookers:

a) They had indignation for wasting anointment (Mark).

b) The disciples were indignant (Mathew).

c) Pharisee wondered whether Jesus knows who and what sort of woman touching him, (Luke).

d) Judas Iscariot was indignant for wasting (John)


2) Preparing Last Supper:-

Ø Mark: 14 (12 And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, “Where will you have us go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?” 13 And he sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him, 14 and wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 And he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare for us.” 16 And the disciples set out and went to the city and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover. 17 And when it was evening, he came with the twelve.)

Ø Matthew : 26: (17 Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?” 18 He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.’” 19 And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover.

Here we observe the following:-

There is difference between (Mathew) and (Mark) regarding the story of preparing for supper:

1) Mark: He sent two disciples to prepare the supper.


2) Matthew: He made all disciples prepare the supper.


3) The writer of the verse No. (Mark 14:17 when it was evening, he came with the twelve) knows nothing about the journey of the two disciples mentioned in the verse No. (14:13). Should he knows the content of such verse (14:17), he would surely have written (He came with the Ten), instead of (the twelve) i.e. verse (14:17) should be read as the following: (And when it was evening, he came with the ten).

[AL-ATHRAM]

4) Timing of last supper:-

According to Matthew (26: 17- 19), Mark (14: 12-17) and Luke (22: 7-8), the last supper was the Passover; however, John (18:28) states that the Passover was in the evening after the death of Jesus.

(John 18: 28- Then the Jews led Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness the Jews did not enter the palace; they wanted to be able to eat the Passover).

John states that the last supper attended by Jesus with his disciples took place before the Passover. John 13: (1-5 Now before the feast of the Passover, ……. And supper being ended, ……. and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded).

John states also that they led Jesus in the evening of day preceding the Passover. John 18: (28- Then the Jews led Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness the Jews did not enter the palace; they wanted to be able to eat the Passover).

The discrepancy between of Bibles in respect of last supper and its timing resulted in difference in an essential point regarding the crucifixion case. Now if we adopt the narrative of (Mark, Mathew and Luke) it means that Jesus had eaten the Passover with his disciples in Thursday evening, and little later on, in the same evening of Thursday, he was led/captured. As such, the crucifixion took place on Friday. But if we adopt the narrative of (John), it would mean that Jesus was led on Wednesday evening and the crucifixion took place on Thursday.

So, did the crucifixion take place on Thursday or Friday?

Where is the Bible that was revealed by Allah to Jesus?

Where is the Bible of Jesus himself?

The four Bibles we have involved discrepancy in almost each incident and each story. Why is there difference between texts and narratives from one Bible to another? If the present Bibles were really a pure revelation from Allah, they would be no discrepancy or difference, and would be one Bible only, not four.

Paul Thessalonians1 .. (2:9- For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.)

Where is the Gospel of God mentioned by Paul? He did not say the Bible of Mathew, Luke, Mark or John, but said the Gospel of God. i.e. the bible revealed by God to Jesus. Where is that Bible/Gospel?

Paul says: (Romans 1: 16- For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek) Where is the Gospel of Christ mentioned by Paul?

Now we have four well-known Bibles. Paul stated ranks for “Salvation” and mentioned only the Jews and Greek, but did not mentioned the other nations.

We noticed that the word “Greek” is added by Paul himself, because it was not mentioned in the four Bibles. It is invented by Paul! What about the Italian, French and Spanish People? Would they have such salvation?!

The lack of accuracy proves that it is man-made words and expressions.. it is from the mind of Paul hiThe era of writing the Bibles was full of falsification and alteration. At that time, any one could have claimed that he follows Jesus and tells that his words are inspiration from God, and that (Suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance Acts 2: 1-4), and he will easily find followers, disciples, and supporters.
mself, not a revelation from Allah.

That alteration and falsification is evident in the statement of Paul (Galatians 1: 6- marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel 7- Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.)

It is also evident in (2 Corinthians :11: 12- But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. 13- For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ)

But, is there a Bible other than these Bibles that can be deemed as reliable “reference or origin” for the Christians? The four Bibles contained expressions or references to certain gospel that is attributed sometimes to Jesus as Son of God, and sometimes attributed to God and sometimes attributed to the Kingdom of God.

In Matthew 4: 23(And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, ….. )

In Mark 1: (14- Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15- And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. )

Paul (Romans 1:9- For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;).

It is clear that there is a Bible other than the four Bibles .These Bibles were not there when Jesus talked about such bible/gospel. The four Bibles were attributed to their writers; so, we say Mathew’s Bible, Luke’s Bible .... etc. but the afore-mentioned Bible/Gospel was expressly attributed to Jesus..

Dear brother, Jesus came to save people from ignorance and sins according to the divine teachings and by acting as good example; not through death on the cross or sacrifice his life as an atonement for their sins.

when a young man came and asked Jesus: (Mathew 19: 16- And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?) He did not mention any thing about sacrifice or power of forgiveness in his blood; contrary, his reply was similar to all other Prophets (Mathew 19: 17 - And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments). He told him to comply with teachings of Allah because in Jesus’s opinion that is the way to an eternal life. We can get salvation by believing in Allah, doing of goodness and suppressing evil; not by thinking that Jesus is the Savior nor by believing in his blood atonement.

Dear brother,
People automatically inherit religion from their parents, whether Jewish, Buddhist, Christian or Muslim. Though most of them know little about their religions, they have religion sectarianism. A logical man should get rid of such religion sectarianism and inherited beliefs. He should be objective and think only in the truth.

Religion is not money or property which a son inherits from his father. Religion is something that comes after diligent search and contemplation. My father and yours were not prophets; they were human beings who can be right or wrong. So let’s think and verify whether they were following the right belief or not. If we found that they were following the wrong way, let’s search for the right way which will surely lead us to paradise; not to the hell.

May the Almighty Allah show us the right path and guide us to the truth.

[AL-ATHRAM]

Dear brother,
The Children of Israel received the news of Jesus’s miraculous birth with a big fuss although they were aware of his birth without masculine intervention. Also, they taught their daughters that it is a great honor for any of them to be pregnant with Jesus, but at the same time accused Marry with adultery though she was selected by the Almighty Allah. They made the same fuss upon the death of Jesus.


Jesus was born in miraculous manner, that is without masculine intervention. Similarly, the Almighty Allah told us that the Children of Israel decided to kill Jesus but Allah raised Jesus to Him. So again, the end of Jesus was miraculous. Since we believed that his birth was extraordinary, why don’t we believe that his end was also extraordinary?



The birth of Jesus was beyond the limits of our imagination. We would not have known that if the Almighty Allah did not tell us about it. And so the death of Jesus, again it was beyond the limits of our imagination, and we have to believe it because the Almighty Allah told us about the same. Both of the birth and end of Jesus were miraculous. Jesus entered this life in miraculous manner… why not to end in a miraculous manner?!



Allah said in the holy Quran ((4:157 - …they slew him (Jesus) not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them..)). The phrase “But appeared so unto them” proves that the murderers did not verify the character of the murdered man, which is expected in such cases, where things get confused as mentioned before.


In our daily life, it happens that a big number of people witness and see an incident; however, their narratives or testimonies vary although the incident might be recorded, let aside such an incident which took place in the old ages where the parameters are different from the ones in our today’s life. Consequently, it is natural that such narratives are contradictory and conflicting regarding such incident. However, the plain truth is said by the Almighty Allah ((4:157 - …they slew him (Jesus) not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain..))



The holy Quran which was revealed to Prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him, states ((4:157 - …they slew him (Jesus) not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them…. 158- Rather, Allah raised him to Himself.)). As believers, we believe that Allah raised Jesus and the matter is over; we don’t question the particular details, but we believe in all things coming from the Almighty Allah. When Allah says something we believe it without questioning.. Now, when the Children of Israel alleged that they killed Jesus, the Almighty Allah refuted their statement by saying: ((4:157 - …they slew him (Jesus) not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill
him, for certain. 158- Rather, Allah raised him to Himself.))

Allah said that there were not sure that they have killed Jesus Christ. They were uncertain and did not really verify whether they killed Jesus or the person who was made to resemble him. Then Allah
confirmed that they did not kill him, for certain.



Finally, the matter is not to win an argument or to prevail over each other; contrary, it is searching for the truth and correcting wrong beliefs to win the hereafter.

[AL-ATHRAM]

'In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful,



“And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.(157). Surah Nisa

"But [another] was made to resemble him to them"

You said that no one denies Jesus's descendant except a disbeliever and these are delusions that you invented. As well as you allowed things that are not permissible to the non-Arabs (Ajami). I Swear by Allah, you are in doubt about him. You have no knowledge except to follow doubt.

What is the meaning of Judas Iscariot saying, one of the disciples of Jesus who turned away from you, when he went out with the Jews. He told them that he was ashamed of him and therefore he would make the commanding on him since you did not know him personally. So, what did you do?

This testifies that the Jews did not know him and this is stipulated in your Gospel, as well that when they surrounded Jesus and those with him, he went out to them and said:

“Who are you looking for?” They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” ( John 18: 4-5)

They looked at "Judas" and asked about the signal they agreed with him on, so they arrested him. In your opinion, how did you believe the situation, as you recounted, that it had been baptized to others - where he did not know him - and Allah raised him as Enoch raised the Prophet.

“Enoch walked with God, and he was not found, for God took him. (Genesis 5:24)

Perhaps you have believed Judas Iscariot in his saying to him and in the text of your Gospel that he is an apostate, a disbeliever, and a cursed. His testimony is therefore not permissible. Or perhaps when he saw him and remorse, he put the commanding over other students and the student rushed to protect him himself.

The proof of this possibility is that in the text of your Gospel, which is in your hands, " Judas Iscariot " was then repent and returned to them the thirty dirhams with which he had sold him. In addition, he informed them that he was not the one arrested.

The Jews said:
“What is that to us? “ (Matthew 27: 3-4)

So, the Jews killed a man _by the proof of your record _ and they only knew him with the testimony of Judas Iscariot.

Allah Almighty can create a similarity to everything in the world. All the attributes of Jesus have parables in the space of possibility in nothingness that can be created in a place other than the body of Jesus, so the likeness occurs.

Saying similarities is saying something possible, not what is not necessary. This is supported by the Torah states that Allah Almighty created the snake from Moses' staff and it's greater than the similarities. Making an animal looks like an animal closer than making a plant look like an animal. The transformation of Moses's staff to a snake is what the Jews and Christians agreed upon. They also agreed on the transformation of the fire for Ibrahim cold and peace and the transformation of the water to wine. So, if you possible this, you may also possible the similarity without impossibility.

Moreover, the Gospel speaks that Jesus arose between the Jews in their seasons and festivals. He was preaching, teaching, and debating them till they admired his innocence and knowledge. So, they were saying:

Is it not Joseph's son?

Is it not Mary's son?

Is not his brothers with us?

Where did he get this wisdom?


If he was well known, why did the Bible stipulate that when they wanted to arrest him, they did not question it. until they paid one of his disciples, Judas, thirty dirhams to guide them to it. He came on Friday night, April 13, with a group of Jews with swords and sticks. The aforementioned disciple said to them:

“Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.” Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him. Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him .. Then all the disciples left him and fled.

But Peter followed him from a distance to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.
The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”
Jesus said to him, “You have said so. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.” (Matthew 26: 48-66).

And Luke says:
“66 As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people were gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying, 67 “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you won’t believe, 68 and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go” (Luke 22)

They asked the arrested person if he was Jesus. Why the question, does not indicate their doubt about the identity of the arrested person?! This is an important point to pay attention to. What was the answer of the arrested person when they asked him, he said:

"You said"

This is similar to what we say when we do not agree with what we hear "This is what you say." That is, the arrested person did not admit that he was Jesus. Luke says that the arrester's answer was:
“ If I tell you, you won’t believe, and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go “

What does this answer mean?
If the arrested is Jesus, what if he tells them and they do not believe him?! They are looking for Jesus and want to arrest him.
This answer must be someone other than Jesus. If the arrested told them that he was not Jesus, they would not have believed him because he looked like Jesus and they are ready to arrest Jesus. Moreover, if that person asked them to release him, they would not have agreed because they thought or wanted him to be Jesus and because his answer is implausible to them because of the similarity of his features with Jesus and the disappearance of Jesus.

There is no doubt this confusion with the well-known are for many years in dialogues and arguments. All indicate the occurrence of similarity, especially in the Bible. On a dark night in an orchard when his image is distorted and his beauty is changed by beating pulling and types of punishment. Such a situation must not be confused between the thing and the other, as well as between the thing and its likeness. Where do you or the Jews get the assurance that the crucified is Jesus, not his likeness? Rather, speculation took place, as Allah Almighty said.

“And they did not kill him, for certain. (157) Rather, Allah raised him to Himself. And ever is Allah Exalted in Might and Wise.(158).” Surah Nisa

Jews are not sure because they relied on the saying of "Judas". So, what is the need for you to prove the types of insult and punishment against the Lord of lords on your claim? This is the wonder. Then, in the Bible as well: that Jesus was with his disciples in the orchard when the Jews came in to request.


“went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?” They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” (John 18: 4*8).

He hid his person from them twice and they deny his image. This is nothing but evidence of resemblance, and raising Jesus. Some of you have said that Jesus gave the power of transformation from image to image.

Matthew said in his Gospel:
“31 Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’* 32 But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.” 33 But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.” 34 Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” (Matthew 26)

He testified against them with suspicion. Rather, he testified against their choice, " Peter ". He is his successor over them. At that time, the trust in your words was sealed, and decided to cast the similarity on the other than Jesus, and the words of the truth, Glory be to Him, were correct:

“ And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.(157). Surah Nisa

Hence, we know that these Gospels are not conclusive, as I have presented to you, they contain many differences and doubts. Further clarify, remember what "Judas" did, and that he lied in his saying to the Jews. This is indicated by the appearance of remorse for him.

And the saying of Jesus: Friend, why are you here?
If he was insisting on corrupting, why he called a friend. Then, do not forget that the Bible testified that Jesus testified to the twelve disciples with happiness:

“ when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” (Matthew 19: 28).

His testimony is right. There is no doubt that the happy person does not commit the large corruption, if he embarks on it. And "Judas" is one of the twelve happy people.

Accordingly:
Either that "Judas" did not indicate it, Jesus did not speak the truth, or that your record has been distorted and replaced. So, choose for you one of these.

In the name of Allah, the most gracious and merciful


Allah Almighty says:

" وَقَوْلِهِمْ إِنَّا قَتَلْنَا الْمَسِيحَ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ وَلَٰكِنْ شُبِّهَ لَهُمْ ۚ وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ لَفِي شَكٍّ مِنْهُ ۚ مَا لَهُمْ بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِلَّا اتِّبَاعَ الظَّنِّ ۚ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ يَقِينًا بَلْ رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ ۚ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا (157). "

“And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.(157). Surah Nisa


"But [another] was made to resemble him to them"

Are you Jesus?

According to what they said, When the soldiers took the Messiah to the synagogue, they asked him:

“67 “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you won’t believe, 68 and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go.” (Luke 22.)

Note the following:

1- Why did they ask him if he was Jesus or not? Isn't their question strange?!

So, they doubted who he was and that's why they asked him. A famous person like Jesus was healing the sick, raising the dead, and preaching everywhere. Thousands of people followed him as the Gospels mention. Why do they ask him who he is?!!

The reason is apparent: they doubted the identity of the accused before them, and the issue is not difficult: the disciples and Jesus are thirteen. When the accused was arrested, the chief of soldiers found that the number was twelve, so someone disappeared!! Where is he? Who is he? Everyone doubted what happened and the identity of the arrested person. Indeed, as we know, Jesus was saved by Allah from the hands of his seekers, and the traitor "Judas" fell into the hands of the military instead of him after Allah threw on him the similarity of Jesus, and Allah is powerful over everything.

2- What was the accused's answer?

He told them that if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. that is, if I told you that I am not the Jesus, you would not believe me and if I ask you to let me go because I am not the Jesus, you would not agree to my request. He is right, who among them believed that the arrested is “Judas” the traitor, not Jesus?!

It is not reasonable that the accused's intention was that if he said that he was Jesus, they would not believe him because they want Jesus, so why do they not believe that he is Jesus? But the accused's intention is that they do not believe that he is not Jesus. They do not believe that he is “Judas” similar to Jesus. In this case, they cannot believe that he is not Jesus.


Then if the accused is Jesus, why does he think that they will release him as long as they want to arrest him? As for Judas, this is what tempts him to ask for release as a reward for his betrayal of Jesus. But of course, they will not release him because they are inclined, despite their suspicion, to believe that he is the Jesus, just as their acceptance that he is not the Jesus proves their weakness and the power of Jesus and this is what they do not want.

3- When they asked him:

“ They all said, “Are you then the Son of God?” He said to them, “You say it, because I am.” (Luke 22: 70)

Again, the accused did not give them an explicit answer. He said: you say it. This indicates the refutation of the saying "Son of God". Also, the man did not say yes, rather he said this is what you say, not what I say. The aforementioned answer is exactly issued by "Judas" as well.

4- During this trial of the accused, none of the disciples of Jesus was there. Even Peter, who followed Jesus from afar, was outside the courthouse at this trial. This makes it very difficult to know the truth of what happened, especially since the Gospels tell different questions and answers. The accused may have said: I am “Judas” and they did not believe him and led him to the cross, maybe who knows? Because the Gospels did not mention the fate of “Judas” except for “when” he strangled himself.

5- Asking the priests about the identity of the accused indicates their doubt in him and the accused's answer confirms that he is not Jesus.

6- The accused said:

“From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.” (Luke 22: 69.)

This is the statement of the accused to the priests after they asked him whether is he Jesus. He answers that the Son of Man (Jesus) is with Allah. If Jesus is standing before them, how can he tell them that Jesus is now with Allah?!

So how can Jesus be in the synagogue of the high priest and be seated at the right hand of the power of Allah at the same time? It is not possible. The explanation for the accused's answer is that “Judas” was hearing from Jesus that he would go to Allah when he was arrested. That is why the accused “Judas” told them that Jesus was sitting at the right hand of Allah.

If we take Luke's account as it is, we summarize it as follows:

a- Asked the accused: Are you the Jesus? He answered: If I tell you no, you won't believe it. If you ask for release, you do not agree. In addition, Jesus is seated at the right hand of Allah.

b- They asked him: "Are you the Son of God?" he answered: this is what you say.

c- Pilate asked, "Are you the King of the Jews?" he answered: this is what you say.

Let's say these questions are interrogations, so what was the accused 's answer?

a- He refused to admit that he was the Jesus, as there is nothing in his answers that indicates his agreement that he is the Jesus, but he told them that he is not the Jesus because Jesus is sitting at the right hand of Allah, as he replied.
b- He refused that he (The son of God), and said: this is what you say.

c- He refused that he was the King of the Jews.

The essential point is the accused's statement that Jesus is now sitting at the right hand of Allah. Therefore, the arrested accused is not Jesus. This is conclusive evidence in the Bible itself that refutes the crucifixion of Jesus.

Luke narrates that the accused was flogged, beaten, and insulted by the military.


“The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him. 64 Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?” 65 They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.” (Luke 22: 63-65)


Suppose, for example, that the whipped is Jesus, is there Allah who is beaten and flogged? Does this make sense?!

Can Allah Almighty not protect Himself? So how does it protect the oppressed? How can he be beaten, flogged, and insulted and be Allah at the same time?!!

The one who was beaten is "Judas". They caught him thinking he was the Jesus. Judas got what he deserved after he sold himself and Jesus for thirty pieces of silver.

Luke tells us that Pilate turned Jesus into Herod to judge him, and then Herod sent him back to Pilate.

“Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.” (Luke 23: 8-11)
Luke alone mentioned this incident and the other Gospels did not mention it. Whether it happened or not, if it happened, why did the other Gospels not mention it?! If not, why did Luke make it up?

The mockers of the crucified said:


“The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!” (Luke 23: 35)

The mockers were the people and the presidents. If the people mock, where is the believer? If they were in a state of ridicule, why did they not say (the Son of God)?! Why is " Luke " singled out as the " chosen of God"?!

Two disciples of Jesus narrate to Jesus after his appearance after his alleged crucifixion and they do not know him:

“They said to him, “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people” (Luke 24: 19).

This statement shows that Jesus was a prophet among his disciples and they did not say about him (God or the Son of God).

Then he vanished after the disciples knew him.

The phenomenon of the disappearance of Jesus is frequent, and this is one of the miracles granted to him by Allah. Whenever he needed to disappear, Allah made this disappearance easier for him. The most prominent disappearance was that which occurred on the night of the raid.

In the name of Allah, the most gracious and merciful




If Jesus is as pure as you claim, he is born of a woman of Adam's bloodline, and he is in her womb and fed on her blood, otherwise, how did he live nine months in it? As well as when he was born, he fed her milk until his childhood as well. So, his pure blood drank that damn virus - Adam's sin - at least 50% of his mother.

If the Christian scholars said that Mary was not carrying that damned virus, we told them how?

Isn't she Ann and Joachim's daughter?!

Is not Ann and Joachim one of the children of Adam who carry this virus according to your claim? How did the virus stop in them and not infect Mary?

If they insist on their claim that Mary did not carry that virus, we say bring your proof. Rather bring your proof that the sin of Adam exists in humans.


That sin was an individual behavior that was confined to Adam and ended with him. And the behavior is not inherited. How many bad fathers have good children, and good fathers have bad children. So, that sin was limited to him and did not infect his children. Man at birth is free from sin, and then when he grows up, he makes a mistake or does not make it. As for being born with a record, this is what is not unbelievable by reason, logic, law, or religion.

Going to the trial of Jesus

“57
“57 Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together. 58 But Peter followed him from a distance to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.
59 Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death, 60 and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward 61 and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’ ”
62 The high priest stood up and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?” 63 But Jesus stayed silent. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”
64 Jesus said to him, “You have said so. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”
65 Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy. 66 What do you think?”
They answered, “He is worthy of death!” 67 Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him, 68 saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?” (Matthew 26).

This story is fabricated, and our evidence is the inconsistency of the words of " Mark" in his Gospel as we mentioned it, but let us analyze the course of events in what is stated in " Matthew ".

Jesus was taken to trial after all the disciples who were with him fled, but Peter stayed with him from afar, and when they entered the synagogue, he entered with them from afar as well, as he sat among the guards to see the end for fear of being dragged into the case while he was in need of trouble. Not forget that he was the one who said to Jesus:

“Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” (Matthew 26:35)

Another question, which is not the betrayal of “Peter”: Who told the details of what happened in the synagogue from the trial of Jesus?

Is it Peter? the only one who stayed with Jesus even from afar.

Certainly, the students were not present in the synagogue. They all fled as stated in the narrate" Matthew ". Therefore, they did not see the trial to narrate it to us or write it down. If Peter is the narrator let me not accept him or believe his words after what he did and before. The students did not exist, so is it one of the false witnesses, the chief priest, or one of the elders who trialed Jesus, who also will not accept their testimony. False witnesses are enough for them their false. As for the high priest and the elders, it is enough that they were the murderers who sentenced Jesus and looked for a reason to execute him.

Only those from the public people who beat, slapped, and spat on him along with the guards remained.

Does it make sense to take their testimony and leave Peter's testimony?

Fulfillment of Jesus's Prophecy in Peter.


“69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!” 70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are
talking about.” 71 When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72 Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”
73 After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”
74 Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!”
Immediately the rooster crowed. 75 Peter remembered the word which
Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three
times.” Then he went out and wept bitterly. “ (Matthew 26)



Peter cannot be the narrator of this story. Neither are the priests, the people, or the guards. Certainly, it was not a revelation from the Holy Spirit to the elect whom we do not know. For a simple reason, it is a big contradiction between the four narrates. As we saw on the topic of the contradiction of the Bible – Part II.

In Luke, the one who saw Jesus first was a maid and secondly, a man, and the third was also a man. Peter denied knowing Jesus three times. Also in Luke, after denying his knowledge of Jesus, Jesus looked at him:

“The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord’s word, how he said to him, “Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times” (Luke 22:61)

Moreover, Peter in the third time began to curse (according to Matthew and Mark) So did he curse Jesus confirming that he did not know him? And that he hates him like them. Does this mean the utmost hypocrisy and disbelief?

“11
“11 Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
Jesus said to him, “So you say.” When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?” He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly ........... Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? ………….. But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”
Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus ..... They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!” Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, ..... They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him ....... and mocked him ..... They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head ....... and led him away to crucify him.
When they came to a place called “Golgotha” ..... they gave him sour wine‡ to drink mixed with gall.§ When he had tasted it, he would not drink. When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them ...... They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.” Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left. Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads
40 and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!” Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said, “He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ” The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.” (Matthew 27: 11-44).


A strong return in a dramatic way. It has gone beyond the painful description of Jesus who was suddenly subjected to all the contempt and mockery, in words and deeds, of his generous self. Even from two crucified thieves on his right and left who are supposed to have severed legs to die of bleeding, since crucifying alone does not kill. So, we say:

Jesus was not spared from their words either when they were in their state of crucifixion and torment from cutting off legs in anticipation of death, they participated in jokes and laughter in mockery and disgrace to Jesus. They just need to come down crawling from the crucifixion and participate in the actual harm inflicted by others, including the chief priests, the scribes, the elders, and the public people of Israel. Then they return to the crucifying waiting for death while laughing and shaking their heads.

They are supposed to be sympathetic to Jesus because they share pain and destiny (if he is Jesus, peace be upon him). As we mentioned before.

Jesus was followed only by a group of women who were braver and stronger in faith than his fleeing disciples. Mark says:


“ There were also women watching from afar, among whom were both Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; who, when he was in Galilee, followed him and served him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.” (15: 40-41)

” Then all the disciples left him and fled.” (Matthew 26: 56)
“They all left him, and fled.” (Mark 14: 50)

In the name of Allah, the most gracious and merciful





The Qur 'an approved that the crucifixion occurred, but it denied the crucifixion of Jesus and casting the likeness on others so that those present thought that it was Jesus who was crucified. As for Jesus, Allah saved him and lifted him from the guile of the disbelievers.

Allah Almighty says in Surah Taha:

“Thus did Adam disobey his Lord, so he went astray. (121) Then his Lord chose him, and turned to him with forgiveness, and gave him guidance. (122). Surah TaHa

Allah forgave Adam and Eve as soon as they repented to him and asked for forgiveness. One of the signs of His forgiveness is that He did not implement in them the death that mentioned in the Bible:

“but you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.” (Genesis 2: 17)

If Allah had not forgiven them, the penalty to be imposed on them immediately would have been death. But Allah accepted repentance and forgave their sins.

“for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”

This is the Lord's decision according to the lie of the writer of Genesis.

“The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t really die,” (Genesis 3: 4).

Do the serpent believe than Allah! Exalted is He and high above what they say by great sublimity. And so it happened, what the serpent said, not what the Lord God said.

As the writer of Genesis claims that an animal created by the Lord God may makes mistakes or lies.

That Mary is a descendant of Adam and has inherited sin and the sinner does not give birth except to a sinner, so whoever was born by Mary is a sinner and who was your God, so how can God be a sinner?

How can the Savior save humans from the effects of sin and he could not save himself from his sin?

If he does not have salvation for himself, how can he give it to others?

Is this true in the logic of the wise?

will he be satisfied by whoever had a hold of a mind? If the body is cursed, how can the cursed be union with the curser?

“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,” (Galatians 3: 13).


Allah is a Creator, and the body is a creature, so how can there be a union between the Creator and the creature?

Allah is infinite and the body is finite, so how can there be a union between the finite and the infinite?

Allah remains and the body is van, so how can there be a union between the remainder and the evanescent?


Finally: Did the Lord God, who is omnipotent, fail to take another way to forgive this sin? and forgive Adam other than this way?

Unless, he puts himself in this humiliating position and allows the disobedient criminals who are out of obedience to slander him and spit in his face, filling him with punches and beatings after they braided a crown of thorns on his head, carrying his cross to his inevitable fate. An increase in his insult they crucify him between two thieves and dip their hands in his blood, then what is the result??

And he is after all this barbaric act says to them: Go, I have forgiven you!

“ Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, “Prophesy!” The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.” (Mark 14: 65).

This is what Mark tells about what happened to Jesus after he was arrested and taken to the synagogue.

Is this the Son of God?!

Is this one of the pillars of the Trinity?

They spit on and punch him!!! And where are the apostles defending him?! And where are the people who believed in him, as the Gospels mentioned?! And where is Allah's mercy for his oppressed son who has not sinned?!

What is the guilt of Jesus?! A righteous and merciful man who healed hundreds of people and did not harm anyone, and yet the Gospels made him face the worst fate that the worst criminals did not face!!

The murderous thief " Barabbas " was forgiven and Jesus was insulted. Why?! Where is divine justice? Why punish the innocent who did not hurt anyone with his hands or words?!

Does the mind accept that the peaceful and innocent Jesus is insulted and then crucified as a dangerous criminal?!!

Imagine that the president of China in front of the world on satellite TV sees his people mocking him in the streets. They spit in his face and pull him from his shirt and trousers. They binding him as any animal on the ground, put thorns on his head and laughing among themselves.

What is your opinion of this president who rules the people of China and what is the opinion of the world who looking at him?

Allah Almighty says:
“He said: "Indeed you and your fathers have been in manifest error.(53)" (surah Al-Anbiya)

Parents have respect due to their sincere love and care for their children. Love and caring do not mean we overlook science and knowledge or that a person disrupts his mind and imitates his parents regarding faith. When a person inherits from his parents a medical condition, his duty is not to respect the disease, otherwise the deadly pain awaits him and his parents. Rather, he must treat the disease in himself and his parents if he loves them.
Deviation from Allah is the harshest and most dangerous disease that may destroy humanity. The most prominent manifestation of deviation from Allah is the worship of others without Him or with Him. What is worthy of worship is only Allah Almighty who gave everything it created and then guided. Allah created fathers and children and guided fathers to love and care for children and guided children to exchange charity. Allah, in whose hand is the kingdom of everything from creation, life, living, and death.

False Prophets:
Here Christ warns, saying:

“15 " "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.” (Matthew 7).

We understand:
1-There will be prophets after Christ.
2-These prophets may be truthful or false.
3-The false are many.
4-Some of them use crooked methods that seem good, but they carry misguidance and evil.
5-You could know if they are truthful or false by their call and guidance.
6-The result of the call of the truthful among them is a good result, which means (followers).
7-Follow the true prophets and avoid the false.

This accurate description does not apply to any nation after Christ or any prophet, except for the last of the prophets and messengers, Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and his nation. The religion of Islam, whose enemies cannot deny that it carries goodness and mercy for all humanity, has spread, reforming the conditions in this world and the Hereafter, calling for the oneness of Allah and His worship, after they were in far error.
Christ preaches that the false of the prophets will be killed and thrown into the fire.
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. (Matthew 7).

The Gospels were written decades after Jesus's departure, and then it was subjected to many additions and deletions. Christ knew the truth about those around him and the truth of the pretenders who would stick to His name and His message and claim to be His disciples, even though they are Satan's disciples, who would support them with wonders and delusions that would be a temptation for people.
Therefore, the author of the Gospel of Matthew said:
“ 21 " "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' 23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' (Matthew 7).

The name of the Holy Spirit has played such a role in calling on the name of Christ that if they find a rave man, they say:
“He was filled with the Holy Spirit “

There is no doubt that the criminal is the most capable of indicating the ways of criminality, if we want to reduce crimes, we have to bring a group of criminals and get to know them on their methods and then we can develop the necessary plans to combat crime.

Now we come to Saul _Paul_ we find him saying in his second letter to the Corinthians:
11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows! 12 But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
16 I say again, let no one think me a fool. If otherwise, at least receive me as a fool, that I also may boast a little. 17 What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as it were, foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.” (2 Corinthians)

When we come to Paul's (Saul) thought of the crucifixion – with our full belief that Christ was never crucified and not attached to the cross – we find him saying:
" 13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"*)” (Galatians 3)

How can Christ be a curse?
Paul's words are unbelievable. How dare Paul say of Christ that he is a curse or cursed?!!

The text that Paul quotes shows that Christ was not crucified actually. For the same reason Paul mentioned it is that the crucified one is cursed. Therefore, Allah protected the Messiah, peace and blessings be upon him, from crucifixion, and saved him.

How does Paul take the revelation from Christ while saying that he is cursed at the same time?
How can Christ be (Lord) and cursed at the same time?
How can Christ be (God) and cursed at the same time?
Does Paul Revere Christ!!?

" 13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"*)” (Galatians 3)

As if Christ was guarding against Paul and his thoughts and followers when he said in the Gospel of John:
“32 Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."( John 16)

This is completely contrary to the saying of the one who hung on the cross and shouted in despair:
"My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"

This is sufficient to prove that Christ was not crucified.

In the name of Allah, the most gracious and merciful



The three Gospels " Matthew, Mark and Luke " agreed in the narrative of the arrest of Christ - as you claim - as it stated that the soldiers knew "Judas Iscariot" so they arrested him. While John disagreed with them in
:this regard, as it stated in his Gospel

“Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. 4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, "Whom are you seeking?" 5 They answered Him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am He." And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them. 6 Now when He said to them, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 Then He asked them again, "Whom are you seeking?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth." (John 18: 3 – 12 )

Torches and lanterns indicate that time was night, and this is consistent with the disappearance of Christ and their lack of awareness of exactly what happened, which facilitated the similarity to others in their grip instead of Christ.

?!What happened when Christ introduced himself to them

“ they drew back and fell to the ground “

Why did they drew back when they heard his name?!!

Many armed soldiers surprise Christ and his disciples. How did they retreat and fall to the ground in a state ostensibly superior to Christ and his disciples in number?!!

?!And what

They fell to the ground without anyone resisting them!!

?!Isn't this strange and worth contemplating

Does this not refer to Allah's plan to cause confusion among the soldiers, complete the rescue and disappearance of Christ, and facilitate the arrest of the likeness of Christ and his informer
?!
?!Why did they draw back

Not only did they return, but they fell to the ground. Why did they fall to the ground?!!

.They came to arrest Jesus when he introduced himself

?!!They drew back and fell to the ground!! Isn't strange

Darkness, torches, return and fall to the ground. The soldiers get up and find in front of them nothing but the likeness of Christ. They caught him astonished at what happened to them.

:Here we wonder

What terrified them as they drew back and fell to the ground while he was unarmed
?

It must have been a cosmic phenomenon that threw terror into their hearts. If we add a presumption in the Gospel of (Luke) regarding the birth of Christ, saying
:

“8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. “ (Luke 2)

We take the presumption contained in the ninth issue of the second chapter of the Gospel of (Luke), which says
:

“And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. “


And put it after Jesus said
:

"I am He,"

From the sixth issue of the eighteenth chapter of the Gospel of John. Let us write the text after adding the deleted
:

“. 4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, "Whom are you seeking?" 5 They answered Him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am He." And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them. 6 Now when He said to them, "I am He," And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid they drew back and fell to the ground .”


At these moments, the Holy Spirit took him to a safe place, as he had previously taken him into the wilderness, according to Luke, saying
:


“1 Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into* the wilderness, “ (Luke 4).

In the name of Allah, the most gracious and merciful




The Christ likeness tried to deny that he was not him, but the soldiers do not believe him and are not ready to return without the detainee. Things go like this: The Christ likeness assured them that he is not Christ and crucifies him instead of Christ.

Doesn't Christ deserve to survive?

Indeed

Doesn't snitch deserve to crucifies?

Indeed

The Gospels narrate that they spat on the detainee and punched him. Which is worthy of the status of Christ: that he was spit on, punched, kicked and whipped, or that Allah saved him from all this?

Which is worthy of Allah's honor for Christ?!

The disappearance of Christ on the night of the raid was not the first time. They once take him to the edge of the mountain wanted to throw him into the valley but he passed through the midst of them.

“ 20- ……… 29 and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff. 30 Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way.” (Luke 4)

It is stated in John:

" 59 Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. “ (John 8).

“39 Therefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped out of their hand.” (John 10).

When Christ was teaching for worship, his hearers differed in his truth.

“44 Now some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.” (John 7).

Also here, he disappeared among them. Allah was rescuing him from his enemies while he was among them. He was hiding him from their sight. Allah is powerful over everything.

Christ was talking to a group of Jews:

“ 9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."( Acts 1).

Another example of the disappearance of Christ:

“39 Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip was found at Azotus. And passing through, he preached in all the cities till he came to Caesarea.” (Acts 8).

Your record narrates that one of Christ's disciples, Philip, also disappeared from his place and was found in another city (Acts 8:39 40):

Why do you believe the disappearance here and do not believe him about Christ when the soldiers wanted to arrest him?!

Allah's rescue of His messenger is more believable than the rescue of Philip, who was only one of Christ disciples.

According to the Bible, the Jews watered the crucified man.

“34 they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink.” (Matthew 27).

He yelled:

"My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" (Matthew 27).

And all the Bibles state that he was completed forty days and nights. He says to the students:

" 32 But He said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know."( John 4).

And whoever endures thirst and hunger for forty days how can he show the need and humiliation to his enemies because of the thirst of one day!

This is not done by the lowest people, so how about the characteristics of the prophets? Or how in the Allah Almighty?

So, the supplicant of thirst will be someone else and he is the one who was similar to Christ.

:Jesus said

“Woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed!” (Matthew 26:24)"

He said this while warning one of his disciples who would betray and inform him of the government. If the crucifixion is for salvation and by the will and desire of Christ as you claim. Then why woe to those who facilitate the crucifixion?!

Jesus is supposed to thank the man who helped him reach the cross to achieve that desired salvation!

The warning of Jesus indicates that the crucifixion was a conspiracy against him, not a desired goal to achieve salvation.

Jesus spent much of the night praying to God to save him from his crucifixion seekers.

“38 Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me." 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me;” (Matthew 26:36-44)

He was unfortunate that night. If the crucifixion was a goal sought by Jesus, he would not have prayed to God for salvation or to save him. He would not have been sad and depressed. All this indicates that the crucifixion was not a goal sought by Jesus. The crucifixion was a conspiracy against him and Allah saved him from it.

If Jesus willingly offered Himself to be crucified, as you claim, why did the Crucified One cry out on the cross?

"Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" (Matthew 27:46)

According to the record, Jesus considered that God abandoned him and let him fall into the clutches of his enemies. So, the crucifixion was not voluntary and was not for the sake of the salvation of mankind nor the redemption.

Saying salvation by crucifixion encourages people to commit sins. If the crucifixion of Jesus is the way for people to salvation, there is no good left for them after His crucifixion. Due to Jesus has guaranteed them salvation from all sins by redeeming them through his crucifixion.


:Jesus said

“27 " But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.' "(Luke 19)

We do not want to comment on the contradiction of this statement with the statement of Jesus
:

“9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. (Matthew 5)

:But we want to ask

Why does Jesus want to slaughter them if His crucifixion will save them from their sins
?!

When Jesus knows the imminent conspiracy against him, he asked his disciples to prepare to resist and said:
“" and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. (Luke 22:36)

?Why the Resistance

?Why the Swords

You say that Jesus offered Himself to be crucified as a ransom for mankind, and here are the texts showing that He urged His disciples to buy swords to resist the soldiers who would lead Him to arrest and crucifixion
.

If he had intended to offer himself to the crucifixion, he would not have asked his disciples to resist.

You say that God gave his only son because he loves the world and so that those who believed in him would not perish.
“16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3)

If God loves people and is kind to them, he must love his son firstly, His only son as you claim. Before God loves people, He must love his son. As you say, who loves his son does not offer him to crucifixion.

The crucifixion of one (Jesus) in this case for the sake of the survival of others is an injustice against Jesus and Allah does not oppress anyone.
?What is Jesus's guilt to be crucified

Adam ate from the tree and Allah punished him by expelling him from Paradise. The case is over. One eats and another is crucified!
?!Is Jesus punished for Adam's sin

?!Is Jesus crucified so that people may enter Paradise

There is no relationship between the sin of Adam and the crucifixion of Jesus nor between the crucifixion of Jesus and the salvation of people
.

Allah is can save people without inflicting injustice on Jesus or crucifying
.him or anything else

Jesus prayed to God to save him from those who sought to either kill him or crucify him. He said
:

“Father, save Me from this hour'?” (John 3: 12)"

If Jesus had intended to willingly offer himself to the crucifixion for redemption, he would not have asked God to deliver him from that ordeal. His prayer to God to save him is further evidence of the invalidity of the crucifixion to salvation.

:Paul said

6who will render to each one according to his deeds" (Romans 2)"

:And said

3And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?” (Romans 2)

So, there is reckoning and there is judgment and recompense according to deeds. So why was the crucifixion of Jesus
?!

If the punishment is according to work, then the crucifixion of Jesus has no role in salvation and redemption.

John 3, contrary to the other Gospels, also tells us that it was Jesus who asked the soldiers to spare the way of his disciples by saying
:

" 8 if you seek Me, let these go their way,"

.While Mark (14) says: All his disciples fled

" 50 Then they all forsook Him and fled “

:Luke says that only Peter followed him at a distance (22)

“54 But Peter followed at a distance.”

:Matthew says

“Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.” Matthew 26: 54)

What is clear here, as many situations, is the extent of the differences and even contradictions between the four Gospels, which makes man puzzle over which of their narratives to believe and which to unbelieve.

..Jesus's predictions of his deliverance from murder

From the beginning of Jesus's call until the lastest day, we find that the Gospels remind us from time to time that he rejected the idea of killing him and denounced it completely. As he worked a lot to thwart all the attempts being made by the Jews
.

:The Gospel of John says (7:16 19)

“16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. 18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. 19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? (John 7)”

“40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. (John 8: 37-40)

As Jesus is an ordinary human being like all human beings, he is ignorant of what fate is. Therefore, he took precautions to avoid falling into the
.clutches of his Jewish enemies

If he knew that they would arrest him on a certain day, why then those
??precautions

:The Gospel of John says

“1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. (John 7)”

“53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death. 54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, … (John 11)”

I will now confine to mentioning a several of clear predictions made by Jesus that he would survive the killing, which are consistent with the precautions he took to preserve his life.

1-
:It happened once in one of the attempts to arrest him that

“32 ... and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. 33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me. 34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot* come. (John 7)”

I do not think anyone doubts the clarity of this saying, which means that when the Jews seek Jesus to kill him, they will not find him because he will go to the one who sent him. That is, Allah will raise him to him as he raised (Elijah) and his disciple Elisha saw him ascending to heaven.

2- In another situation of defiance between Jesus and the Jews, he assured them of his previous prophecy and that their attempts against him would end by raising him to heaven
.

“21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot* come.
22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill* himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot* come. .... 28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. (John 8)”


But that crucified man, he shouted desperately
:on the cross, saying

“?Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani “

3- The lastest words of Jesus to his disciples were in those moments immediately before the arrest, which was his assurance to them that God
:is always with him and will not leave him

“32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. (John 16)”

It is equally certain that that crucifix was conquered by his enemies,
.conquered by death, and subjected to his dominion

4- In the last stormy encounter between Jesus and the Jewish priesthood,
:he said

“39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth*, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Matthew 23)

The challenge in this statement is clear, Jesus assures his enemies that they will not see him from that hour until he comes at the end of the world
.with strength and great glory

But that crucified man was seen by the Jewish priesthood as a prisoner in his grip during the trial and then they saw him hanging on the stage as a dead man and there was nothing left of him except a lifeless body that had .lost the pulse of life



:I borrowed the language of Jesus in the Gospel, saying

“15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Matthew 11) “
.And whoever hears, must understand

:Proving the innocence of “Judas Iscariot ” from betraying Jesus

You say that Judas, one of the disciples of Jesus, betrayed the son of Mary and the Jews hired him to guide them and saved him thirty silver. But whoever reads your records It becomes clear to him that this work is impossible to be issued by Judas towards Jesus. Otherwise, we attributed to Jesus ignorance and lying.

The contradiction in the narrative about Judas and their difference in the story about him helps to find that the issue of submission has not been told by one of the authors of the Gospels with certainty, and that it is pure
.conjecture
To give you an example of what your records differed in regarding Judas, it
:was mentioned that Judas, after regretting the surrender of Jesus

“5- and went and hanged himself.( Matthew 27)”

Your record, (Acts 1), states that Judas did not
:suffocate himself, but

“ 18 and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. "

Also, he disagreed (Acts 1) (Matthew) did not mention that Judas regretted the surrender of Jesus. There is even a strange contradiction in the two narrations. The second mentioned that Judas took
.money from the Jews to surrender Jesus and that he bought a field

“Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; .( Acts 1: 15-18)
This contradicts the statement (Matthew 27: 3 7) and testifies that Judas repented and returned thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
:saying

“3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. 5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. 7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in”

For the fact that Judas can not surrender or betray Jesus, I prove it from the testimony of your records and the testimony of Jesus himself. And, it is not possible, for one of the Christians, to deny the words of Jesus, which cannot be interpreted. We see that the closest to reason and rightness
.that Judas deceived and illusion the Jews that the crucified is Jesus

Judas was one of the disciples of Jesus and his loved ones. Also, he was one of the twelve disciples whom Jesus praised and promised them to sit on the chairs of greatness and glory. (Matthew 19) mentioned the words of
:Jesus

“28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in
the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel”

:Judas is also one of the twelve whom Jesus called

“1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner
of sickness and all manner of disease.” (Matthew 10)

He says after mentioning the twelve disciples by their names, including
:Judas


“5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7
.And as ye go, preach, saying*, The kingdom of heaven is at hand
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils:” (Matthew 10)

You claim that Judas, whom Jesus has given all this authority, died a hypocritical apostate and that he betrayed Jesus and delivered him. Despite the testimony of Jesus that he and the
.disciples will be with him in Paradise in the Hereafter

The one who told the story of the surrender of Judas to Jesus thought that Judas handed him the truth. He did not know that Judas washed Jesus’s
:feet with the rest of the disciples and said

“10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not* save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit” (John 13)

.He testified that Judas was pure

In the name of Allah, the most gracious and merciful


My dears, after all this, if it is proven that these Gospels contain some contradictions, even one contradiction - not a hundred contradictions - this invalidates the fact that they are revelations from Allah Almighty. Because Allah Almighty said in the Holy Qur'an, which was revealed to an illiterate
:Messenger and nation

أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ ۚ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ غَيْرِ اللَّهِ لَوَجَدُوا فِيهِ اخْتِلَافًا كَثِيرًا

“If it had been from [any] other than Allah, they would have found within it much contradiction. (82)” (surah An-Nisa')



This means, if the Qur'an were from someone other than Allah, they would
:find in it a lot of difference. Therefore, every Muslim declares


Try to find one contradiction from the Holy Qur'an with its 6236 verses. No one dares to say that there is one contradiction in the Qur'an. We can, Allah willing, face any accusation or doubt that proves one contradiction in
.the Holy Qur'an



As for the Gospels, you have seen that despite their small size, they are contradictory, and there is even a contradiction in one page. One example
.of this some contradiction on one page



In the Gospel of Matthew, for example, we find a lot of these contradictions, and we can point to some of them without bias. Jesus says
:to Peter



“18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew
.16)



So, Jesus said to Peter: You are a rock and strong, and that the devils cannot enter through you or the gates of hell, and through you I will build my church, and then he gave him a promise or a wonderful covenant
“And whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
What you do I do and what you want I want. That is, the will of Allah is
.subordinate to the will of Peter


This is what is stated in the Holy Qur'an, where Allah Almighty said in
:Surah At-Taubah verses (30-31)

وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ عُزَيْرٌ ابْنُ اللَّهِ وَقَالَتِ النَّصَارَى الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ اللَّهِ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ قَوْلُهُمْ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ ۖ يُضَاهِئُونَ قَوْلَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ ۚ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ ۚ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ 31- اتَّخَذُوا أَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَانَهُمْ أَرْبَابًا مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ وَالْمَسِيحَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا إِلَٰهًا وَاحِدًا ۖ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ سُبْحَانَهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ


“The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of Allah "; and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of Allah." That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved [before them]. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded? 31- They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides Allah, and [also] the Messiah, the son of Mary. And they were not commanded except to worship one God; there is no deity except Him. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Him.” (surah At-Taubah)


Uday ibn Hatim al-Ta 'i, a Christian who became Muslim, said, "O Messenger of Allah, we did not worship them", based on his understanding that worship means kneeling on his feet or praying to him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, " Were they not lawful for you and forbidden and you take their words?" He said, "Yes" he said, " This is their worship without Allah."


So, the right of analysis and prohibition for other than Allah alone, is polytheism.



Therefore, we find that Islam denies the authority of analysis and prohibition for those other than Allah. It is not even for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Messenger does not have the right to analyze and forbid except by revelation from Allah, and Allah reproached him when he forbade himself something, so he said
:to him in Surah At-Tahrim



يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكَ ۖ تَبْتَغِي مَرْضَاتَ أَزْوَاجِكَ ۚ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ

“ 1- O Prophet, why do you prohibit [yourself from] what Allah has made lawful for you, seeking the approval of your wives? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” (Surah At-Tahrim).



In this biblical text above we find Peter on high standing.
?But look at the end of the page. What does it say


At the beginning of the page, we find Peter, as the Gospel says about Jesus, he the rock on which Jesus will build his vocation and grow it, and he is a solid rock that the gates of hell do not get and that in his hand are
.the keys to the kingdom of heaven



Then this great image of Peter, suddenly, is replaced by another opposite image that transforms him from a disciple into a devil. Where is that? In the Gospel of Matthew itself and the same chapter No. 16 and after two numbers - about two lines - of the words of Jesus preaching to him.
:Matthew says



“21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from
.thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee



23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.” (Matthew 16)



So, look how Jesus says to Peter at the beginning of the page: What you solved on earth, solve it in heaven. Then at the end of the page, he says to him: You are a devil. The contradictions are so many in the
.Gospels



Professor Ibrahim Khalil Ahmed says after becoming a Muslim, as a priest and professor of doctrine and theology in the College of Theology: " The truth is that our work, as missionaries, was based on a document that came in the Second Epistle of Peter to confirm that the Torah and the
:Gospel were inspired by Allah. We used to say



" 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy
men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." (2 Peter 1)


This text, which came from Peter as stated in his Second Epistle, will illude that the Holy Book that currently exists is inspired by Allah. The priest also deals in his work among Muslims with one of the verses of the Holy Qur'an
:in Surah Al-Imran that says


نَزَّلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقًا لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَأَنْزَلَ التَّوْرَاةَ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ 4- مِنْ قَبْلُ هُدًى لِلنَّاسِ

“3-He has sent down upon you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming what was before it. And He revealed the Torah and the Gospel 4- Before, as guidance for the people. (Surah Al-'Imran)



The Qur'an is very accurate. It did not mention the New or the Old Testament, but it mentioned the Torah and the Gospel. When the Qur'an came to mention the New and the Old Testament in the Qur'an, what did it
:say


قُلْ يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ تَعَالَوْا إِلَىٰ كَلِمَةٍ سَوَاءٍ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ

“Say, "O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you (64). (Surah Al-'Imran)



So, when the whole book was mentioned, the Qur'an began to give the
.right guidance



:As well as in Surah An-Nisa, Allah says

يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ لَا تَغْلُوا فِي دِينِكُمْ وَلَا تَقُولُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْحَقَّ ۚ إِنَّمَا الْمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُ أَلْقَاهَا إِلَىٰ مَرْيَمَ وَرُوحٌ مِنْهُ ۖ فَآمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ ۖ وَلَا تَقُولُوا ثَلَاثَةٌ ۚ انْتَهُوا خَيْرًا لَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّمَا اللَّهُ إِلَٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ ۖ سُبْحَانَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ ۘ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلًا

“171- O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.” (Surah An-Nisa)



It is also mentioned in Surah Al-Ma'idah about the People of the scripture
:that Allah Almighty, says


15يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ قَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمْ كَثِيرًا مِمَّا كُنْتُمْ تُخْفُونَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَيَعْفُو عَنْ كَثِيرٍ ۚ قَدْ جَاءَكُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ نُورٌ وَكِتَابٌ مُبِينٌ

“15-O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our Messenger making clear to you much of what you used to conceal of the Scripture and overlooking much. There has come to you from Allah a light and a clear Book. (Surah Al-Ma'idah)


So, when the reference came to the book, it came to the correction. But when the reference came to the Torah and the Gospel, it came to believing
.without mentioning either the New or the Old Testament

In the name of Allah, most gracious and most merciful


Jesus birth :- Says (Mathew 1:18- Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: when as his moter Mary was espused to Jhoseph, before they came together, she was found wiht child of the Holy Gohost.)

And also “Luke” speaking about how the Angel Gabrielle entered to Virgin Mary, saying:

“And the angel came in unto her, and said Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is wiht thee: blessed art thou among women.” ( 1:28.),

:Then announced her of Jesus

“ 34- Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man ? 35- And the angel answered and said unto her, the Holy Gohost sshall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” (Luke 1)

And when somebody says that Jesus born with power of Holy Ghost and that such matter gives him a distinguishing feature than other human being, here I say it is not a distinguishing feature which calls for thinking, even for one moment, that Jesus is not of mankind clay, whereas we find here that his colleague & relative (John the Baptist) born with power of Holy Ghost & we find the same Angel Garbriel has said to his father Zakaria when he is in the Temple as stated in:

(Luke 1:13- But the angel said unto him, Fear not Zach’a-ri’as : for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Eliesabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.14- And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. 15- For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strang drink, and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.)

After that Zakaria himself is filled of Holy Gost as said by (Luke 1:67-And his father Zacharias was filled wiht the Holy Ghost, and prople sied saying, 68-Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for the hath visited and redeemed his people.)

Then this same Holy Ghost who had been with Zakaria & his son John was the one who had been with Jesus, whereas it is said by (Luke 1:26-And in the sixth month the angel Ga’bri-el was sent form God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27-To a rirgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of hte house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.).

It became clear from this that the Holy Ghost is one of Allah Angels. Also it is said by (Luke 2:21-And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. 22- And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; be called holy to the Lord; 23- (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; 24-And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. )

and as per Mousa's law we find that the child born by the Virgin was circumcised and his mother cleaned & presented a sacrifice for the God, whereas it is said by (Luke 2:21-24).

It is a must to attract the attention to an essential point i.e the concept of the most Holy in Judaism and Christianity differs from its concept in Islam, whereas the word "Holy" which is "Qadas" in Hebrew means "separation" or "keeping away" but the Islamic concept of "Hallowing" is "glorification and infallibility".
Therefore, we find in Mousa Sharia book Allah says to Mousa (Exodus 13:2-Sanctify wunto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine. )
That is to say separate the first borns. So the word "Most Holy" for such born means separating the first born son who first opened the Womb of his mother. Consequently, it is clear that Jesus was an ordinary born child governed by things applicable to other human being & that he & his mother were fully subjected to Mousa's Law.
Then, we confirm that Jesus came from essence of human being whereas he was born of Virgin Mary who was one of Adam's daughters who was created of earth. The miracle here is that Allah Al mightily is able to give the sterile women as he gives Virgin women whereas Allah in Holy Koran said surah Al-'Imran:

(59)إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَىٰ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ آدَمَ ۖ خَلَقَهُ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ )

“ 59- Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam. He created Him from dust; then He said to him, "Be," and he was.”

When Allah created Adam that was miracle & the same when he created Adam's wife of his body, is it not miracle.

“Luke” is prescribing the situation whereas he connects between the birth of (Yuahn the Baptist) & birth of Jesus. When Virgin Mary surprises because she would be pregnant & deliver while she does not know a man, the Angel says to her as stated in:

(Luke 1:34-Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man ? 35- And the angel answered and said unto her, the Holy Gohost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 36-And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her oil age; and htis is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. 37- For with God nothing shall be impassible.)

And also we find the Holy Koran says

( (35 مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ مِنْ وَلَدٍ ۖ سُبْحَانَهُ ۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ )

(Sura Maryam 35- It is not [befitting] for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, “Be,” and it is.).
