🍂 Jesus Recognized as a Prophet in Both the Bible and the Quran:
The sacred texts of both Christianity and Islam acknowledge Jesus as a prophet sent by God.
In the Bible, multiple verses highlight how people during Jesus’ time saw Him as a prophet:
• In Matthew 21:11, crowds described Jesus as “the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
• Luke 7:16 recounts people being overcome with awe and declaring that “a great prophet” had emerged among them.
• In John 4:19, a woman tells Jesus, “I perceive you are a prophet.”
• Matthew 21:46 notes that officials hesitated to arrest Jesus because the public viewed Him as a prophet.
• According to John 6:14, after witnessing one of His miracles, the people affirmed, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
• In John 7:40, listeners of His teachings concluded, “This is certainly the Prophet.”
• John 9:17 tells of a man whose sight Jesus restored, proclaiming, “He is a prophet.”
• In Luke 13:33, Jesus Himself refers to the tradition of prophets dying in Jerusalem, implying His place among them.
• Luke 24:19 records followers of Jesus referring to Him as “a prophet powerful in word and deed before God and all the people.”
🌷 Similarly, the Quran also emphasizes Jesus’ prophetic mission. In Surah 3:49, Jesus (referred to as Isa in Arabic) is presented as a messenger to the Israelites, performing miraculous acts like creating a bird from clay, healing the blind and lepers, and raising the dead all by God’s permission. He also shares divine knowledge, indicating his role as a sign from God for those who believe.
🌷 In conclusion, both the Christian and Islamic scriptures portray Jesus not only as a significant religious figure but clearly as a prophet with a divine message and mission.
