Answering Questions Through The Holy Qur'an: Did Jesus die for the sins of mankind? Was Jesus crucified?

Did Jesus die for the sins of mankind? Was Jesus crucified?

4:157 And for their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah." And they did not kill him nor did they crucify him; but it was made to appear so to them. And indeed, those who differ in it are surely in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And certainly they did not kill him. … 4:159 And there is none from the People of the Book but must believe in it/him before his death. And on the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them.

(The Aramaic name “Barabbas,” mentioned in the Gospel, literally means “son of the father.” Notice that ancient manuscripts of Matthew 27:16-17 contain the name “Jesus Barabbas,” not just “Barabbas” (see Bible translations that are more faithful to the oldest sources, such as the “New International Version,” “Contemporary English Version,” “Good News Translation,” or the “Net Bible”); so “Jesus Barabbas” is the original name. According to the Gospel, Pilate, the governor of Judea, asked the crowd which prisoner was to be released: “Jesus Barabbas” (aka “Jesus son of the father”), or Jesus who is called the Messiah?” (Matthew 27:17). So, the conclusion is that the Gospel explicitly says there were two characters bearing the same name (Jesus). It seems that Jews, wanting to attribute Barabbas’ blasphemy to the Messiah to kill him, and then early Greek-speaking scribes, mixed up the stories of these two characters in the New Testament; Jesus Barabbas blasphemed by using and bearing the name “the son of the father” (referring to God), while Jesus the Messiah never claimed to be the son of God, because the titles “Barabbas / son of the father” and “Messiah / son of Mary” are used to distinguish one Jesus from the other. The title “son of Mary” and the virginity of Mary imply that Jesus the Messiah had no father) (According to the historian Max Dimont, the story of Barabbas as related in the gospels lacks credibility, because Pontius Pilate could not have released a prisoner condemned to death for insurrection against the Roman Empire. A Roman governor who did that could have faced execution himself, so he might have condemned Jesus son of the father (aka Jesus Barabbas), and released Jesus the Messiah) (Another point is that anyone who claims to be the “king of the Jews” would have to lead a rebellion against Rome. Jesus Barabbas is the one who rebelled against Rome. The punishment for rebellion is crucifixion; so Jesus Barabbas was crucified, not Jesus the Messiah. Proof that Jesus Barabbas was the “king of the Jews,” while “Jesus the Messiah” did not hold such a title, is that Matthew 2:1-2 says that Jesus, “the king of the Jews,” was born in Bethlehem in Judea, while the earliest Gospel says that Jesus came from Nazareth. These two accounts are contradictory, but, in fact, they refer to two different persons bearing the same name (Jesus); so, one Jesus was born in Bethlehem, and another Jesus was born in Nazareth. The Qur’an confirms that Jesus the Messiah is from Nazareth, because the word “Christian” is literally translated as “Nazarene” (interpreted as “follower/s of the Nazarene”). Matthew 2:2 says, “and asked, where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?”. So, Matthew 2:1-2 explicitly says that the one born in Bethlehem is the king of the Jews, rather than the one born in Nazareth) (According to Matthew 27:11, the governor asked the one who was to be crucified: “are you the king of the Jews? ‘You have said so,’ Jesus replied.” So, according to the context (Matthew 27:11-13), even though the Jews wanted to crucify the Messiah (or they wrongly thought that Jesus Barabbas was the Messiah), they took “the King of the Jews” instead (the one from Bethlehem); Matthew 27:37 confirms this: “Above his head they placed the written charge against him: this is Jesus, the king of the Jews.” On the other hand, Acts 3:6, 4:10, and 10:38 confirm that “Jesus of Nazareth” is the Messiah (aka the anointed one), rather than the one from Bethlehem) (The “Jesus” who uses the term “my father” in Matthew is Jesus Barabbas (aka “Jesus son of the father”)) (According to John 19:38, only one person, Joseph of Arimathea, came and took the body away. Verse 4:157 says, “it was made to appear so to them.” “Them” refers to the Jews, because Jesus was only sent to the Children of Israel, so Jesus was the one to be saved, not mankind) (Allah knows best)

37:139 And indeed, Jonah was surely of the Messengers. … 37:142 Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.

(Some Christians say that the denial of the crucifixion is satanic because, according to Matthew 16:21, when Jesus said that “he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life,” Peter said, “This shall never happen to you” (Matthew 16:22), then Jesus said to Peter, “Get away from me, Satan” (Matthew 16:23). But some Muslims say that the sign of Jonah in Matthew 12:38-41 confirms that Jesus did not die on the cross, because Jonah was alive in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights; thus, Jesus was also “alive” for three days and three nights (Matthew 12:40). Notice that Matthew 12:39 says that it is the “only sign,” so any other information contradicting it (e.g., Matthew 16:23) would be irrelevant. Other verses oppose the crucifixion: Luke 22:42 says, “Take this cup from me,” so according to Luke, Jesus wanted something other than what God wanted (but Christians do not dare to call Luke 22:42 “satanic”); and according to 1 Peter 2:24, Peter believed in the crucifixion, while in Matthew 16:23 Peter is called Satan. Could Peter then be trusted in his belief in the crucifixion (1 Peter 2:24) after being called Satan and denying Jesus three times (Matthew 26:34)?) (Another matter is that it is said Jesus did not write the Gospel; it is anonymous and written in Greek instead of Aramaic (the language of Jesus). Furthermore, the current Bible has verses that are not in the oldest Bible sources (Papyrus, Codex Vaticanus, and Codex Sinaiticus), so it is not a reliable source; the Qur’an is a Criterion (3:4) to know what is true. See the links below: “Is the Bible corrupted?” and “Is it ‘satanic’ to deny the crucifixion (according to the Bible)?”) (Allah knows best)

5:110 When Allah said, "O Jesus, son of Mary, remember My Favor upon you and upon your mother when I strengthened you with the Holy Spirit, you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity. And when I taught you the Book and the wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when you make from clay like the shape of the bird by My permission, then you breath into it, and it becomes a bird by My permission; and you heal those born blind and the leper by My permission; and when you bring forth the dead by My permission. And when I restrained the Children of Israel from you when you came to them with the clear proofs, then those who disbelieved among them said, "This is not but clear magic."

(Some Christians say that the crucifixion is supported in the Old Testament, claiming it was predicted in Psalm 22:16: “Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce my hands and my feet.” It is also said that this is a mistranslation or misinterpretation. Even if the translation or interpretation were correct, the context in Psalm 22:19 says, “But you, Lord, do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me,” Psalm 22:20 says, “Deliver me from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dogs,” and Psalm 22:24 says, “But has listened to his cry for help”. So, he is asking for help; he does not want to be killed by them. Therefore, it is not about sacrificing his life to save mankind, but, as in the New Testament, Jesus was the one to be saved, not mankind. This is confirmed by Matthew 15:24, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel,” so Jesus was not even sent to all of mankind. Hebrews 5:7 also says, “During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.” In conclusion, Hebrews 5:7 and Psalm 22:24 suggest that Jesus was saved from death because his petition was answered. So, in regard to the crucifixion, Jesus the Messiah was the one to be saved) (See the link below: “To whom was Jesus sent? Was Jesus sent to the gentiles?”) (Allah knows best)

17:15 Whoever is guided then is only guided for his soul. And whoever goes astray then only goes astray against it. And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And We will not punish until We have sent a Messenger.

(Muslims believe that Jesus was not killed or crucified, and that such event is not required to obtain salvation. Meanwhile, Christians innovated the idea that they would be saved by the sacrifice of Jesus and by believing in the cross, claiming salvation is by grace through faith alone regardless of their deeds or the Law, even though the Law was not abolished (Matthew 5:17, Matthew 23:2-3, Acts 15:5 and 15:20, James 2:14-26)) (The killing of the Prophets causes your punishment, rather than your salvation (Matthew 23:31-33)) (Allah knows best)

16:64 And We have not revealed to you the Book except that you make clear to them that in which they differed, and as a guidance and mercy for a people who believe.

(Another point is that people at the time of Jesus were in doubt about him being killed and crucified, so it is not a new matter invented by Muslims; Verse 4:157 says, “indeed, those who differ in it are surely in doubt about it”; the Qur’an clarifies for people the matters in which they differed (16:64). This point was recorded by the Bible itself: 1 Corinthians 1:23 says, “But we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles”; so both the Jews and Gentiles did not believe in Christ crucified at the time of Paul. Paul says in Galactians 1:11-12: “I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. I did not receive it from any human, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ”. This refers to the account in Acts, where he reported having experienced a vision of the resurrected Jesus; so he never even met Jesus, but it was a fabricated dream. Galatians 1:20 says, “I assure you before God that what I am writing you is not a lie,” showing that people were in doubt about it and he was trying to convince them. Colossians 1:25-6 says, “I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness- the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people.” Thus, Paul proclaimed himself an authority, and he even indirectly states in Colossians that he was born in a much later generation than Jesus’ time, confirming he never met Jesus; notice the sentence says, “the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations.” Paul says in 1 Corinthians 1:22, “Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom”; so Jesus came with signs, but Paul was not a messenger, had no authority, and did not come with signs) (The sentence “by grace you have been saved, through faith” (Ephesians 2:8) was said by Paul, not by Jesus. Notice that the only sources claiming the concept of “being saved only by grace through faith alone regardless of your deeds” are all attributed to Paul; since no one else made such a claim, it is obviously a false invention. See the link below: “Jesus vs. Paul”)(Allah knows best)

19:33 And peace (be) on me (the) day I was born and (the) day I will die and (the) Day I will be raised alive." 19:34 That was Jesus, the son of Mary, a statement of truth about which they dispute. 19:35 It is not for Allah to take a son. Glory be to Him, when He decrees a matter, then He only says to it, "Be" and it is. 19:36 "And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. This is a straight path." 19:37 But the sects among them differed, so woe to those who disbelieve from (the) witnessing (of) a great Day.

(This Verse refers to the day Jesus was born (in this world), and the day he dies (in this world), and the Day he is resurrected (in the Hereafter), like any other human, because death and life happen twice for everyone (40:11, 2:28). A person was dead (non-existent), then alive (in this world), then the person dies (in this world), then is resurrected (on the Day of Resurrection), and judged by God) (Allah knows best)

4:155 Then because of their breaking of their covenant and their disbelief in the Signs of Allah and their killing of the Prophets without any right and their saying, "Our hearts are wrapped." Nay, Allah (has) set a seal on their (hearts) for their disbelief, so they do not believe except a few.

(The killing of the Prophets does not help people obtain salvation; instead, they receive punishment) (Allah knows best)

3:181 Certainly, Allah heard the saying of those who said, "Indeed Allah is poor while we are rich." We will record what they said and their killing the Prophets without right, and We will say, "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire."

2:61 And when you said, "O Moses, we can never endure one food, so pray to your Lord to bring forth for us out of what the earth grows, of its herbs, its cucumbers, its garlic, its lentils, and its onions." He said, "Would you exchange that which is better for that which is inferior? Go down to a city, so indeed for you is what you have asked for." And humiliation and misery were struck upon them and they drew on themselves the wrath of Allah. That was because they used to disbelieve in the Signs of Allah and kill the Prophets without right. That was because they disobeyed and they were transgressing.

11:114 And establish the prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approach of the night. Indeed, the good deeds remove the evil deeds. That is a reminder for those who remember.

22:23 Indeed, Allah will admit those who believe and do the righteous deeds to Gardens underneath which rivers flow. They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearl, and their garments therein (will be of) silk.

(Salvation is obtained by those who believe and do righteous deeds) (Allah knows best)

4:162 But those who are firm in knowledge among them and the believers believe in what is revealed to you and what was revealed before you. And those who establish prayer and those who give zakah (charity) and those who believe in Allah and the Last Day – (to) those, We will give them a great reward.

7:23 Both of them said "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy on us, we will surely be among the losers."

(Adam and his wife asked for forgiveness for their sins to obtain salvation. God accepted their repentance (2:37)) (Mankind was not sentenced to death because of what Adam and his wife did because, even before the so-called original sin, mankind was not actually immortal. This is confirmed by Verse 21:34, “And We did not make for any man before you immortality; so if you die, then (would) they live forever?”. It is also confirmed by the Bible, in Genesis 3:22: “he must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever”) (Allah knows best)

35:18 And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And if a heavily laden calls to carry its load, nothing of it will be carried, even if he be a near of kin. You can only warn those who fear their Lord - unseen and establish the prayer. And whoever purifies himself, then only he purifies for his own self. And to Allah is the destination

11:35 Or do they say, "He has invented it?" Say, "If I have invented it, then on me is my crime, but I am innocent of what crimes you commit."

(The one who is innocent of what others committed does not bear their burden) (Allah knows best)

6:164 Say, "Is (it) other than Allah I (should) seek (as) a Lord, while He is the Lord of everything?" And no every soul earns except against itself, and no bearer of burden bears the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, then He will inform you about what you were differing concerning it.

(A person bears his burden according to what he earned, because what he earned was against himself, not against someone innocent of his actions. On the other hand, he does not bear the burden of another if he did not earn it) (Christians invented the idea that Jesus bore their sins, but this is not supported by the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 24:16, II Kings 14:6, Jeremiah 31:30, Ezekiel 18:20, Psalms 49:7, Numbers 35:33), nor by the New Testament (Galatians 6:5), nor by the Qur’an (17:15)) (Allah knows best)

43:59 He was not except a slave on whom We bestowed Our favor, and We made him an example for the Children of Israel.

(According to Verse 4:157, the Jews thought they had killed Jesus, so the purpose of making it appear so was addressed to the Jews, because the Verse says, “it was made to appear so ‘to them’”. In order to save Jesus, according to Verse 5:110, the Children of Israel were restrained from Jesus as a Favor from God to him. So, in regard to the crucifixion, Jesus was the one to be saved, not mankind) (Jesus was only sent to the Children of Israel. They denied Jesus, and Jesus was saved from those he was sent to, so the gentiles were not to be involved. This is supported by Matthew 15:24, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel”; and Jesus used parables; Matthew 13:13 and Luke 8:10 confirm that the purpose of the parables was so that they might not understand. According to Matthew 13:34, “Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable.” According to Mark 4:34, Jesus explained everything in private to his (Jewish) disciples; according to John 18:20, Jesus said nothing in secret in synagogues or at the temple (Jewish places); and according to Matthew 13:36, Jesus explained a parable in private to the (Jewish) disciples. So, one interpretation is that the parables were addressed to the gentiles so that they might not understand, while, on the other hand, Jesus was sent to the Children of Israel (61:14, 43:59, 3:47-50, 5:72, 61:6); in regard to the (original) Gospel addressed to the Children of Israel, “in it was Guidance and light” (5:46), rather than confusion. And Jesus came to the Children of Israel with clear evidences (61:6)) (Allah knows best)

19:30 He said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah . He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet.

(Matthew 23:30-33 implicitly confirms that Jesus is a Prophet and confirms that the killing of prophets causes punishment rather than salvation. Matthew 23:30-33 says, “And you say, ‘if we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started! ‘You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?’”) (Allah knows best)

4:46 Among the Jews are those who distort words from their places and they say, "We hear and disobey" and "Hear but be not heard” and "Raina", twisting their tongues and defaming the religion. And if they had said, "We hear and obey" and "Hear and look at us”, it would surely have been better for them and more suitable. [And] but Allah cursed them for their disbelief, so they believe not, except for a few.

(According to Dr. Shabir Ally, the manner in which Jesus approaches death has been reworked in John. In Mark, Jesus begs God to save him from the cross, though he submits to God’s decision. In John, Jesus declares that he will not pray to be saved (12:27). On the contrary, he asks God to go ahead according to plan. Jesus in John obviously came to die for the sins of the world. Hence, he declares that no one can take his life away from him since he has authority to lay down his own life and take it up again (10:18). Jesus declared in John that no one can take his life from him. Since he gives it up of his own accord, even the scene of his arrest has been modified to reflect this. In Mark, Judas the betrayer had arranged to mark Jesus out with a kiss. But in John, Judas dares not draw close to Jesus. Unless Jesus gives himself up, he cannot be arrested (John 18:3-12). In this way, we can multiply the examples of how one after another the gospels went about modifying the image of Jesus for later readers. The writers did not intend for us to make these comparisons. Each gospel was initially circulated independently. Eventually, however, they were collected together and passed down to us in a single book, the Holy Bible. Today, in studying the gospels, we can notice the trend to represent him as Lord and Savior. To find the real historical Jesus, we have to retrace the trend from John back to Mark. But how about beyond Mark? When we compare Mark with the later gospels, we notice the modifications in the later ones. If we could compare Mark with its predecessors, we would find that Mark has also modified his story) (Source: Dr. Shabir Ally) (Allah knows best)

3:71 O People (of) the Book! Why do you mix the truth with the falsehood and conceal the truth while you know?

(In regard to the sentence: “And they did not kill him nor did they crucify him; but it was made to appear so to them,” in Verse 4:157; notice that the Verse does not say who made it appear to the Jews that Jesus was crucified. One interpretation is that the Jews themselves made it appear so to other Jews because, according to the Qur’an, the killing of the Prophets is a Jewish tendency (“their disbelief in the Signs of Allah and their killing of the Prophets without any right” (4:155)). In order to kill Jesus, they wanted to prove that he was a false prophet by attributing blasphemy to him, because a “prophet” who leads people away from established law (Jewish man-made laws) or claims divinity must be rejected (Deuteronomy 13). The only way to kill him was by falsely attributing the blasphemy of other individuals named Jesus to him. The intention of attributing blasphemy to Jesus the Messiah is reflected in the Gospel (while it is obvious that Barabbas is the blasphemous one), and it is reflected in the Talmud (while it is obvious that Jewish authors referred to other Jesuses instead of speaking about Jesus the Messiah). The Talmud mentions a “Yeshu” (a shortened form of Yeshua/Jesus) who is described as a “sorcerer” who “led Israel astray,” committed blasphemy, and was stoned and “hanged” (crucified) on the eve of Passover. Jesus Barabbas’ very name was a form of blasphemy, and he is described in the Bible as a “notorious prisoner” and a “rebel.” The Talmud’s description also concerns a revolutionary like Barabbas. The Talmud might be preserving the memory of the “wrong” Jesus-the one who actually claimed to be the “son of the father” (Barabbas)-among other individuals named Jesus, wrongly attributed to the true Messiah.) (Regarding the Talmud’s use of the term “Yeshu ha-Notzri,” translated as “Jesus the Nazarene,” instead of “Jesus Barabbas,” many scholars argue that the title “Ha-Notzri” (the Nazarene) was not in the original oral traditions of the Talmud. When Christianity became the dominant religion of the Roman Empire, later Talmudic editors (Amoraim) added “The Nazarene” to those older stories to “claim” them as the history of the “Christian” Jesus. Thus, the identification with the Nazarene was a later theological “fix” once Christianity became a threat.) (Peter Schafer, a professor at Princeton, wrote the book Jesus in the Talmud. He argues that the Talmudic stories are “counter-narratives.” He suggests the Rabbis took older stories of heretics and “upgraded” them with details from the Gospels (like the name “Nazarene” or the Eve of Passover) specifically to mock Christian claims. Regarding Johann Maier, he argued that the identification with “the Nazarene” was a later development caused by both internal Jewish tradition and external Christian pressure.) (But another point is the anachronism: “Yeshu Ha-Notzri” (Jesus the Nazarene) is described as a student who lived around 100 BCE-roughly a century before Jesus of Nazareth was born-so it is not the same person. In fact, the Talmud contains several controversial passages referring to individuals named “Yeshu,” whom some scholars identify as a composite of different historical figures living in different eras (such as the Hasmonean or Tannaitic periods). Early manuscripts often lack the specific epithet “Ha-Notzri” (the Nazarene) or use varying terminology, leading to ongoing debate over whether these texts originally intended to reference the Jesus of the New Testament.) (Another point is that the earliest rabbinic source for “Yeshu” (alone) is The Tosefta (c. 200-300 CE), written centuries after the historical Jesus (the Nazarene). The rabbis likely conflated various individuals, later appending the title “Ha-Notzri” (the Nazarene) in the Babylonian Talmud (compiled 3rd-6th centuries CE), which is the earliest appearance of “Ha-Notzri” (the Nazarene), also written centuries after Jesus the Messiah/the Nazarene. Because this epithet is absent in many early manuscripts and consistent only in later, uncensored versions like the Munich 95 MS, it is argued that the Talmud is an unreliable historical source for the 1st-century Jesus.) (Such a distortion of history is not something new; I encountered several lies by Jews on different subjects while researching for my blog, and lying is a common practice among certain Jewish authors (though some non-Jewish groups do it too). Historically, Jews defamed Jesus, Mary, Solomon, Aaron, and the Samaritans, and also wrote historical errors about Dhul Qarnain, etc. (Search my blog for: “Was Aaron responsible for the golden calf?”, “Samaritans existing in ancient Egypt?”, “Is Dhul-Qarnain Alexander ‘the great’ or Cyrus ‘the great’?”, “Jesus vs. Paul”, “Is the Bible corrupted?”, “Does the Jewish Bible say that Palestine belongs to the Jews?”)) (Allah knows best)

5:46 And on their footsteps We sent Jesus, son of Mary, confirming what was before him of the Torah, and We gave him the Gospel, in it (was) Guidance and light and confirming what was before him of the Torah and a Guidance and an admonition for the God conscious.

(We need the Qur’an in order to know the true story of Jesus the Messiah (the 1st-century Jesus). And it can be used as a Criterion over the Gospel, because, since the Gospel attributes all its stories to Jesus the Messiah (including other Jesus’ stories), the Gospel is mixing truth with falsehood. But, for example, we know that Jesus the Messiah is from the 1st century because Pontius Pilate (born in the first century) is mentioned in the Gospel along with Jesus the Messiah and Jesus Barabbas. Historians look for multiple, independent sources that agree on the timing. It’s a conclusion supported by a broad intersection of historical, archaeological, and literary evidence) (The Gospel of Mark is the earliest Gospel, and it is estimated that it was written in 65-70 AD. So, around 65 years was enough for it to be corrupted. The last Gospel (John) is even more corrupted. It is estimated to be from 90-110 AD. Unlike the Gospel of John, the Gospel of Mark never explicitly uses the word “God” to refer to Jesus. The title “son of God” in Mark is clearly an unreliable account, because even though Mark calls him “the son of god” in Mark 1:1, in oldest manuscripts, like Codex Sinaiticus, there is no such sentence (“the son of god”) in Mark 1:1; so, it is a clear false invention or attribution. In addition, such a title is indirectly said by a voice from heaven (Mark 1:11) and by a Roman centurion (Mark 15:39), so the oldest Gospel does not clearly or directly support the “son of god” concept. And the Gospel of Mark very rarely refers to God as “father / abba,” compared to the other newer gospels. So, stories of Jesus Barabbas, instead of Jesus the Messiah, were present in the earliest Gospel, but mentioned very rarely, compared to later Gospels which falsely included more stories about Barabbas and attributed them to the Messiah. Curiously, the Gospel of Mark preserves the original Aramaic word “Abba” and “Barabbas” (“father” and “son of the father,” respectively) instead of translating them into Greek. So, it becomes even clearer which Jesus the Gospel is referring to: the person who uses the word ‘father / abba’ is ‘Jesus Barabbas / Jesus son of the father’) (Search my blog for: “How do you know the Qur'an is from God?”) (Allah knows best)
