Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Spirituality of the Shi‘ism and Other Discourses Discourse Sixteen: A Short Study of Christ and the Gospel Even though Jews attach great importance to their national history and recording of events that occur throughout their lives, there is no mention of Jesus Jesus, the conditions of his birth and appearance as a prophet, his lifestyle, and the miracles God manifested through him.

﴾ “And that they uttered against Mary a tremendous calumny and that they said, ‘We killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the prophet of Allah’…” [^1] Was the evidence for this claim a story they cited without support of any historical book—just as other nations have many both true and mythical stories that are not considered creditable without correct and reliable evidence—or had they heard the name of Jesus and his birth and appearance from Christians then slandered Mary and claimed to have killed Jesus?

There is no way to arrive at a clear answer without resorting to the fact that the Noble Qur’an only explicitly attributes the claim of killing the Messiah to them. It also notes that they had doubts and disagreements among themselves in this regard. On the other hand, what Christians believe about the Messiah, the Gospel, and the good news [bishārat] is based on the New Testament, that is Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, the Acts of Prophets, and other books such as Paul, Peter, Jacob, and Judas.

The authority of all of these is based upon that of the Gospels therefore I will discuss the latter. Writers of the Four Gospels The gospel of Matthew is the oldest written; composed in 38 CE according to some. Others, however, maintain that it dates between 50 to 60 CE.[^2] Even so, it was clearly written after the time of Jesus Jesus (‘a). Researchers hold that it was originally written in Hebrew then translated into Greek and other languages.

The original Hebrew text is not available and its translator and the quality of its translation are unknown.[^3] Mark, the author of another of the Gospels, was a student of Peter. He was not one of the Apostles himself. It is said that he wrote his gospel at the behest of his mentor.
