The Majestic Quran

155 What about their breaking the contract, their denial of God’s signs, their unlawful killing of the prophets, and their saying, “Our minds are locked” ? 29 Indeed! God has sealed their hearts and minds because of their disbelief, so that none but a few of them believe 156 and because of their denial, and their spreading a terrible slander against Mary. G J H 157 They mockingly say: “We have killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the Messenger of God,” though they didn’t kill him nor crucify him, but it appeared like that to them. Those who differed over the matter are still in doubt about him. They have no knowledge of it except speculation, and they certainly didn’t kill Jesus. 158 In fact, God raised him to Himself. God is Almighty, Wise. 159 There is no one from the People of The Book who will not believe in the Messiah before his death , 30 and on the Day of Judgement he will be a witness against them. T J , 160 Because of the wrongdoing of the Jews, We prohibited some of the wholesome things that were lawful for them, and they stopped many people from following the way of God, 161 and adopted usury despite it being forbidden, and they squandered people’s wealth. For the disbelievers among them, We have prepared a painful punishment. 162 But some of them are firmly grounded in knowledge and are believers in what is revealed to you and what was revealed before you; likewise, those who perform the prayer, pay Zakat and believe in God and the Last Day will be given a great reward. T P 163 We revealed to you as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him; and We revealed to Abraham, Ismael, Isaac, Jacob, the Tribes, Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron and Solomon; and We gave David the Psalms. 164 There were messengers that We told you about, and there are other messengers that We haven’t told you about. God spoke directly to Moses. 165 There have been messengers bearing good news and warnings so that, after the messengers, people would have no defence against God. God is the Almighty, Wise. 166 God bears witness of what He has sent down to you – He has sent it down with His knowledge – and the Angels are witnesses too . God is a sufficient Witness.
