God will Teach Jesus the Gospel and the Scripture and Wisdom; and Indeed, the Disciples [Such as Matthew and John] were Among the Witnesses to the Gospel of Jesus

So Say, "We have Believed in what was Given to Jesus and Zacharias and John and Mary, and what was Given to the Prophets from their Lord"

6:85, Qur'an
[Indeed,] Zacharias and John and Jesus and Elijah - all [were] among the righteous.

21:89, Qur'an
[So remember] Zacharias, when he called to his Lord, "My Lord, do not leave me alone [with no heir], while You are the best of inheritors."

21:90, Qur'an
So We responded to him, and We gave John to him, and amended his wife for him.  Indeed, they used to hasten to good deeds and supplicate Us in hope and fear, and they were humble to Us.

19:12 - 14, Qur'an
[We] said, "O John, take the Scripture with determination." And We gave him judgement [while only] a boy
and affection from Us and purity, and he was fearing of God and dutiful to his parents, and he was not a disobedient tyrant.

66:12, Qur'an
And [remember] Mary, the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into [her womb] through Our [Holy] Spirit, and she confirmed the words of her Lord and His Books and was among the devoutly obedient.

3:45 - 46, Qur'an
[And so] the angels said, "O Mary, indeed God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary - distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to God].
He will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity and will be among the righteous.

3:48, Qur'an
And [God] will teach him the Scripture and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel."

19:30, Qur'an
[And thus Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet.

John 7:16, Gospel
[So indeed,] my doctrine is not mine, but His who sent me.

3:50 - 51, Qur'an
And [I have come] confirming what is in my hands of the Torah and to make some of what was forbidden to you [now] lawful for you. And I have come with a sign to you from your Lord, so fear God and obey me.
Indeed, God is my Lord and your Lord, so serve Him. That is the straight path."

3:52 - 53, Qur'an
But when Jesus felt disbelief from them, he said, "Who are my supporters for God?" The disciples said, "We are supporters for God. We have believed in God and testify that we are submitting [to Him].
Our Lord, we have believed in what You sent down and have followed the messenger [Jesus], so write us among the witnesses [to the Gospel of Jesus]."

2:136, Qur'an
[So] say [likewise], "We have believed in God and what has been sent down to us and what has been sent down to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the [twelve] tribes [of Israel] and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no division between any of them, and we are in submission to Him."


Sections of the Gospel


O People of the Scripture, you are Standing on Nothing Until you Uphold what has been Sent Down to you - so Let them Judge by what God has Sent Down Therein in the Torah and the Gospel

And Thus, Among the People of the Scripture are those who Believe in God and what was Sent Down to Muhammad, and what was Sent Down to them

5:65 - 66, Qur'an
If only the People of the Scripture had believed and feared [God], We would have surely removed their misdeeds from them and admitted them to Gardens of Pleasure.
And if only they upheld [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been sent down to them from their Lord, they would have consumed [provision] from above them and from beneath their feet.  There is a moderate community among them, but what many of them do is evil -

62:5, Qur'an
[For] the example of those who were entrusted with the Torah and then did not uphold it is like that of a donkey who carries volumes [of books].  It is a wretched example concerning the people who deny the verses of God. And God does not guide the wrongdoing people -

5:42 - 44, Qur'an
[For they are avid] listeners to falsehood, devourers of [what is] unlawful. So if they come to you, judge between them or turn away from them. And if you turn away from them - they will never harm you at all. And if you judge, judge between them with justice. Indeed, God loves those who act justly.
But how is it that they come to you for judgement while they have the Torah, in which is the judgement of God? Then they turn away, [even] after that; but those are not believers. Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light. The prophets who submitted [to God] judged by [the Torah] for the Jews, as did the rabbis and scholars by that which they were entrusted of the Scripture of God, and they were witnesses thereto. So do not fear the people but fear Me, and do not exchange My verses for a small price. And whoever does not judge by what God has sent down [therein] - then it is those who are the disbelievers.

5:45, Qur'an
And We prescribed for them therein - a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth [as legal retribution], and legal retribution for wounds.  But whoever gives [up his right as] charity, it is an expiation for him.  And whoever does not judge by what God has sent down - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

5:46 - 47, Qur'an
And We sent, following in their footsteps, Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming that which was in his hands of the Torah; and We gave him the Gospel, in which was guidance and light and confirming that which was in his hands of the Torah as guidance and instruction for those who fear [God].
[So] let the People of the Gospel judge by what God has sent down therein.  And whoever does not judge by what God has sent down - then it is those who are the defiantly disobedient.

5:68, Qur'an
[So] say, "O People of the Scripture, you are [standing] on nothing until you uphold [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been sent down to you from your Lord."  And that which has been sent down to you [O Muhammad] from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief.  So do not grieve over the disbelieving people.

3:113 - 115, Qur'an
[But] they are not [all] the same; among the People of the Scripture is a community standing [in obedience], reciting the verses of God during periods of the night and prostrating [in prayer].
 They believe in God and the Last Day, and they enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and hasten to good deeds. And those are among the righteous.  And whatever good they do - they will never be denied it.  And God is Knowing of those who fear [Him].

7:170, Qur'an
[And] those who hold fast to the Scripture and establish prayer - indeed, We will not allow the reward of the reformers to be lost.

3:199, Qur'an
And indeed, among the People of the Scripture are those who believe in God and what was sent down to you [O Muhammad] and what was sent down to them, [being] humble to God.  They do not exchange the verses of God for a small price.  Those will have their reward with their Lord.  Indeed, God is swift in account.

So Our Messenger has Come Making Clear Much of what you used to Conceal of the Scripture

3:71, Qur'an
O People of the Scripture, why do you mix the truth with falsehood and conceal the truth while you know [it]?

6:91, Qur'an
…[For] you make [the Scripture] into pages, disclosing [some of] it and concealing much...

2 Chronicles 9:29, Torah
[For] the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, [are] they not written in the Book of Nathan the prophet, and in the Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the Visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam, the son of Nebat?

1 Kings 11:41, Torah
And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, [are] they not written in the Book of the Acts of Solomon?

Joshua 10:13, Torah
And [remember when] the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. [Is] this not written in the Book of Jasher?

3:187, Qur'an
[No?  And yet] God took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture, [saying], "You must make it clear to the people and not conceal it -

Revelation 22:19, Gospel
[Whereby] if any man will take away from the words of the Book of this prophecy, God will take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this Book."

3:187, Qur'an
But they threw it away behind their backs and exchanged it for a small price. And that which they purchased is [indeed] wretched -

[2 Ezra 12:36 - 38], Torah
[For they said,] "You only have been meet to know this secret of the Highest.
  Therefore write all these things that you have seen in a Book, and hide them; and teach them to the wise of the people, whose hearts you know may comprehend and keep these secrets."

2:159 - 160, Qur'an
[But] indeed, those who conceal what We sent down of clear proofs and guidance after We made it clear for the people in the Scripture - those are cursed by God and cursed by those who curse,
except for those who repent and correct themselves and make clear [what they concealed]. Those - I will accept their repentance, and I am the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.

5:15, Qur'an
[So] O People of the Scripture, Our messenger has come to you making clear much of what you used to conceal of the Scripture, and he pardons much.  A light and a clear Book have come to you from God.

2:41 - 42, Qur'an
[So] believe in what I have sent down confirming that which is [already] with you, and do not be the first to disbelieve in it.  And do not exchange My verses for a small price, and fear [only] Me.
  And do not mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know [it].


Ancient Christian Art Depicts Apocryphal Scenes of Jesus Turning Children into Pigs

In the Holkham Bible Picture Book above, which is a fourteenth-century English manuscript, there are both Biblical and apocryphal scenes. One of these apocryphal scenes shows a young Jesus Christ turning children into pigs. On fol. 16r, the Holkham artist depicts a man putting someone into an oven, while another man is talking to a young Jesus. In the subsequent scene, the same oven is now filled with three little pigs.

The Miracle of the Children in the Oven is an apocryphal story that belongs to a series of stories associated with the infancy of Jesus Christ. In the accompanying text, Jesus wanted to play with some children, but their parents did not want him to play with them, so they hid their kids in an oven. When Jesus asked the parents what was in the oven, the parents replied that it was filled with pigs. So Jesus said, "So be it," and when he had left and the parents opened the oven, it was filled with pigs.


God did Not Send Any Messenger Except that Satan Threw in his Own Desire, and they Say, "This is from God," but it is Not from God

So Woe to you who Alter the Words of Truth and Distort the Law, for they have Exchanged the Verses of God for a Small Price and Averted People from His Way

9:9, Qur'an
They have exchanged the verses of God for a small price and averted [people] from His way. Indeed, what they were doing was evil.

Jeremiah 23:31 - 32, Torah
[And thus God said,] "Behold, I [am] against the 'prophets,' who use their tongues and say, 'He says.'
  Behold, I [am] against those who prophesy false dreams, and tell them, and cause My people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I did not send them, nor command them, therefore they will not profit this people at all," the Lord says.

Ezekiel 13:6 - 7, Torah
[Rather,] they have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, "The Lord says," and the Lord has not sent them, and they have made [others] hope that they would confirm the word.
  Have you not seen a vain vision, and have you not spoken a lying divination, whereas you say, "The Lord says [it];" although I have not spoken?

3:78, Qur'an
[So] indeed, there is a group among them who alters the Scripture with their tongues so that you may think it is from the Scripture, but it is not from the Scripture. And they say, "This is from God," but it is not from God. And they speak a lie about God while they know -

Ezekiel 13:8, Torah
Therefore the Lord God thus says; "Because you have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I [am] against you," the Lord God says.

[Book of Enoch 98:15], Torah
[So] woe to you who write lying words, and the words of the impious, for they write their lies so that men may hear and continue their folly.  And they will not have peace but will die a sudden death.

[Book of Enoch 99:2], Torah
[And] woe to you who alter the words of truth, and they distort the eternal law and count themselves as being without sin; they will be trampled underfoot on the ground.

2:79, Qur'an
So woe to those who write the "scripture" with their own hands, then say, "This is from God," in order to exchange it for a small price.  Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn -

3:69, Qur'an
[For] a faction of the People of the Scripture wish they could mislead you. But they do not mislead [anyone] except themselves, and they do not perceive.

3:70 - 71, Qur'an
[So] O People of the Scripture, why do you disbelieve in the verses of God while you witness [to their truth]?
  [And] O People of the Scripture, why do you mix the truth with falsehood?

22:52 - 54, Qur'an
[For] We did not send any messenger or prophet before you except that when Satan desired, he threw in his [own] desire [into His verses]. But God abrogates that [falsehood] which Satan throws in [His verses]; then God makes His verses precise. And God is Knowing and Wise.
[That is] so He may make what [falsehood] Satan throws in a trial for those who have disease in their hearts and those hard of heart. And indeed, the wrongdoers are in extreme dissension. And so those who were given knowledge may know that it is the truth from your Lord and [therefore] believe in it, and their hearts become humble to it. And indeed God is the Guide of those who have believed to a straight path.


Recite the News of [Paul] to them, to whom God Gave Verses, and he Preached the Gospel of the Messiah, but he Detached himself from Our Verses and Injected Deviation into them

For Paul Said, "That which I Speak is According to my Gospel, I do Not Speak After the Lord, but as it were Foolishly, so Bear with me in my Folly"

7:175, Qur'an
[So] recite the news to them of the one whom We gave Our verses to -

Acts 18:9 - 11, Gospel
[When] the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not hold your peace.
  For I am with you, and no man will set on you to hurt you, for I have many people in this city."  And he continued [there] a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them -

Romans 15:19, Gospel
[Saying,] "Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the [Holy] Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Gospel of the Messiah."

7:175 - 176, Qur'an
But he detached himself from [Our verses]; so Satan pursued him, and he became among the deviators.
  And if We had willed, We could have elevated him thereby, but he adhered [instead] to the earth and followed his own desire.  So his example is like that of the dog: if you chase him, he pants, or if you leave him, he [still] pants.  That is the example of the people who denied Our verses.  So relate the story so that perhaps they will give thought -

Romans 2:16, Gospel
[So remember when Paul said, "On] the Day [of Judgement,] God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus, the Messiah, according to my Gospel."

40:20, Qur'an
[But] God [alone] judges with truth, while those they invoke besides Him do not judge with anything. Indeed, God - He is the Hearing, the Seeing.

2 Timothy 2:8, Gospel
[And remember when Paul said,] "Remember that Jesus, the Messiah, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead - according to my Gospel."

*Psalms 118:17 - 18, Torah
[But the Messiah said in the Psalms of David,] "I will not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
The Lord [God] has chastened me sore, but He has not given me over to death."

5:77, Qur'an
[So] say, "O People of the Scripture, do not exceed limits in your religion beyond the truth and do not follow the inclinations of a people who had gone astray before and misled many and have strayed from the right way -"

1 Corinthians 7:40, Gospel
[For Paul said,] "I think also that I have the [Holy] Spirit of God -

1 Corinthians 8:2, Gospel
[But] if any man thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he should know.

2 Corinthians 11:1, Gospel
[So] I wish to God you could bear with me a little in [my] folly, and indeed bear with me.

2 Corinthians 11:17, Gospel
[For] that which I speak, I do not speak after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting."

6:93, Qur'an
[So] who is more wrong than one who invents a lie about God or says, "It has been inspired to me," while nothing has been inspired to him, and one who says, "I will send down like what God sent down."  And if you could see when the wrongdoers are in the overwhelming pangs of death while the angels extend their hands, [saying], "Out with your souls!  Today you will be awarded the punishment of [extreme] humiliation for what you used to say against God other than the truth, and [that] you were being arrogant toward His verses."

41:40, Qur'an
[So] indeed, those who inject deviation into Our verses are not concealed from Us.  So, is he who is cast into the Fire better or he who comes secure on the Day of Resurrection?  Do whatever you will; indeed, He is Seeing of what you do -

[Gospel of Barnabas 222:1], Gospel
[For] after Jesus had departed, the disciples scattered through the different parts of Israel and the world, and the truth, hated by Satan, was persecuted, as it always is, by falsehood. For certain evil men, pretending to be disciples, preached that Jesus died and did not rise again. Others preached that he really died, but rose again. Others preached, and yet preach, that Jesus is the son of God, among whom, Paul is deceived. But we, as much as I have written, we preach to those who fear God, so that they may be saved in the Last Day of God's Judgement.

God Sent Down the Qur'an in Truth as a Criterion Over the Scripture, so Judge Between them by what God has Sent Down

For God Eliminates what He Wills or He Confirms, so Race to All that is Good - for God has Spoken Only One Message to All Men

4:105, Qur'an
Indeed, We have sent the Book down to you in truth so that you may judge between the people by that which God has shown you. And do not be an advocate for the deceitful -

16:101, Qur'an
[For] when We substitute a verse [in the Qur'an] in place of a verse [in the previous Scriptures] - and God is most knowing of what He sends down - they say, "You are only an inventor [of lies]."  But most of them do not know -

13:39, Qur'an
[For] God eliminates what [verses] He wills [in the previous Scriptures], or He confirms, and the Mother of the Scripture is with Him.

5:49, Qur'an
[So] judge between them by what God has sent down and do not follow their inclinations and beware of them, unless they should tempt you away from some of what God has sent down to you. And if they turn away - then know that God only intends to afflict them with some of their [own] sins. And indeed, many among the people are defiantly disobedient -

24:48, Qur'an
[For] when they are called to [the Word of] God and His messenger to judge between them, at once a group of them turns aside [in refusal].

39:18, Qur'an
[But those] who listen to the Word [of God] and follow the best of it - those are the ones God has guided, and those are people of understanding -

3:3 - 4, Qur'an
[For God] has sent the Book down to you in truth, confirming what was before it.  And He sent down the Torah and the Gospel
before, as guidance for the people. And He sent down the Criterion.

25:1, Qur'an
[Thus,] He is blessed who sent the Criterion down upon His servant so that he may be a warner to the worlds.

2:53, Qur'an
[For remember] when We [also] gave Moses the Scripture and the Criterion so that perhaps you would be guided.

43:63, Qur'an
And [remember] when Jesus brought clear proofs, he said, "I have come to you with wisdom and to make some of those [matters] clear to you in which you differ, so fear God and obey me -

[Gospel of Barnabas 124:2], Gospel
Everything that conforms to the Book of Moses, receive that as true; seeing that God is one, the truth is one; from where it follows that the doctrine is one and the meaning of the doctrine is one; and therefore the faith is one. Truly I say to you that if the truth had not been erased from the Book of Moses, God would not have given the second to our father David. And if the Book of David had not been contaminated, God would not have committed the Gospel to me; seeing that the Lord our God is unchangeable, and has spoken only one message to all men. Therefore, when the messenger of God will come, he will come to cleanse away all wherewith the ungodly have contaminated my Book."

5:19, Qur'an
[So] O People of the Scripture, Our messenger has come to you to make [the religion] clear to you after a period [of suspension] of messengers, unless you should say, "No bringer of good news or a warner came to us." But a bringer of good news and a warner has come to you. And God is Powerful over all things -

5:48, Qur'an
[For] We have sent the [Qur'an] down to you in truth, confirming that which is between one's hands of the Scripture and as a Criterion over it. So judge between them by what God has sent down and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth. To each of you We made a law and a method. Had God willed, He would have made you one nation [united in religion], but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to [all that is] good. Your return is to God all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning those [matters] in which you used to differ.

39:55, Qur'an
[So] follow the best of what was sent down to you from your Lord before the punishment comes upon you suddenly while you do not perceive.
