The Gospel according to Matthew.
Understanding the Gospels.
Throughout the Gospel Jesus is teaching the Torah in the same way as every prophet in the Jewish Scripture is teaching the Torah.
The word of Allaah in the Gospel is everything that does not contradict the Tanakh Jewish Scripture.
Whatever contradicts the Tanakh Jewish Scripture did not come from Jesus but from the unknown writers of the Gospels.
The Gospels are a test to show who understands Allaah in the Tanakh Jewish Scripture as described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allaah will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of Allaah has changed.

The Gospel of Matthew Chapter 16 to 18.
The yeast of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Herod.
Gospel of Matthew 16:1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees approach him, and testing him, they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
Comments:
1. Who are the Pharisees?
In the time of Prophet Jesus a Jewish sect called the Pharisees believed in the written Torah, the oral law (Jewish stories, Jewish hadith) and the resurrection of the dead.
The Pharisees were in Judea today Southern Israel and Palestine in the period of the second Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds from the second century BCE until the destruction of the second Jewish Temple in 569 BH (70 CE).
Jewish Rabbis of today developed from the religious Pharisee tradition.
The Pharisees today are called Orthodox Jews.

Video 2. Jesus is not the way! Rabbi Tovia Singer slams Church for erecting a barrier between man and Allaah.
The teachings by some in Christianity about Jesus did not come from Judaism but from the Greek Roman world of idol worship as seen when humans pray to Jesus and Mary and dead human saints instead of praying direct to Allaah as taught by every prophet in the Jewish Scriptures.
Jesus prayed to Allaah in all the four Gospels in the same way as all the Jews in his time all prayed directly to Allaah.

2. Who are the Sadducees?
The Sadducees believed in the written Torah but rejected oral law (Jewish stories, Jewish hadith) and rejected the belief in the resurrection of the dead.
The Sadducee were in Judea (today southern Israel and Palestine) in the period of the second Jewish Temple in Jerusalem from the second century BCE until the destruction of the second Jewish Temple in 569 BH (70 CE) when they disappeared.
The Sadducee were in many political, social, and religious roles, including maintaining the Second Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.
The Sadducee were associated with the high priests and corruption in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.
(Note 1. Not all priests, high priests, and members of the upper class were in the Sadducee sect.
Some priests, high priests, and members of the upper class were Pharisees or members of other groups or not members of any group.
3. What does “show them a sign from heaven” mean?
Show them a sign from heaven means show them a sign from Allaah.
4. The sixteenth sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15.
Jesus was asked by those who disbelieved to show them a sign from heaven just as Muhammad was asked by those who disbelieved to show them a sign from heaven.
Jesus was asked by those who disbelieved that Jesus was sent by Allaah to show them a sign from heaven as proof just as Muhammad was asked by those who disbelieved that Muhammad was sent by Allaah to show them a sign from heaven as proof.
Quran 2:253 Koran 2:253 The messengers We (Allaah through the Holy Spirit revealed to Prophet Muhammad) endowed with gifts, some (with) more (gifts) than others. To some of them Allaah spoke and to others He (Allaah) raised their rank (of honour). To (messenger, prophet and messiah) Jesus the son of Mary We (Allaah through the Holy Spirit) gave signs (of his truthfulness) and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel, the Holy Ghost). If Allaah had so willed He (Allaah) could have made succeeding generations not fight among each other if after the signs (of Allaah) the people believed, but they disputed, some believing (the Prophets of Allaah) and others rejecting (the Prophets of Allaah). If Allaah had willed then they would not have fought each other but Allaah fulfills His (Allaah’s) plan.
Quran 3:183 Koran 3:183 Those (Jews of Yathrib, Arabia) who said, "Allaah has taken our promise not to believe in any messenger unless he brings to us an offering which the fire (from heaven) shall consume." Say (to them), "Surely Messengers came to you before me, with clear signs and even with (miracles) that you speak of so why did you kill them, if you are truthful?"
(Note 1. See killing the prophets of Allaah in the Gospel of Matthew 22:6 comments).
Quran 3:184 Koran 3:184 Then if they (the Jews of Yathrib, Arabia) reject you (Prophet Muhammad) so were messengers rejected before you, who came with clear signs and the scripture and enlightenment.
Quran 4:153 Koran 4:153 (Now) the people of the Scripture (some of the Jews of Yathrib, Medina in Arabia today in Saudi Arabia) ask you (Prophet Muhammad) to cause a Scripture book to come down (in front of them as a sign) from heaven. (In times of the past) they (the children of Israel, the Jews) asked Prophet Moses for even more than that when they said, "Show Allaah in front of us," and then they were struck with thunder and lightning for their disbelief in Allaah. Then they worshipped the calf (idol that they had built at Mount Sinai) even after clear proof of Allaah had come to them (during their escape from Egypt across the Red Sea). Even after all that We (Allaah revealed through Angel Gabriel to Prophet Muhammad) forgave them (the children of Israel, the Jews) and We (Allaah) gave Prophet Moses clear proof for his authority (as a messenger and prophet of Allaah).
Quran 12:105 Koran 12:105 How many signs (of Allaah the one creator) are there in the heavens and the earth which they pass by and which they (the humans) turn away (and disregard without thinking about it)?
Quran 21:37 Koran 21:37 People are inclined to be in a hurry (not patient). I (Allaah) shall show you My (Allaah’s) signs (such as Allaah’s punishment), so do not impatiently urge Me (Allaah, to hurry Allaah’s judgement).
Gospel of Matthew 16:2 But he in answer said to them, ["When evening comes, you say 'Fair weather; the sky is red.'
Gospel of Matthew 16:3 And in the morning, 'Today, stormy weather; for the sky is red and threatening. [[You hypocrites.]] The face of the sky you know how to judge, but the sign of the times you are not able to?]

Quran 2:253 Koran 2:253 The messengers We (Allaah through the Holy Spirit revealed to Prophet Muhammad) endowed with gifts, some (with) more (gifts) than others. To some of them Allaah spoke and to others He (Allaah) raised their rank (of honour). To (messenger, prophet and messiah) Jesus the son of Mary We (Allaah through the Holy Spirit) gave signs (of his truthfulness) and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel, the Holy Ghost). If Allaah had so willed He (Allaah) could have made succeeding generations not fight among each other if after the signs (of Allaah) the people believed, but they disputed, some believing (the Prophets of Allaah) and others rejecting (the Prophets of Allaah). If Allaah had willed then they would not have fought each other but Allaah fulfills His (Allaah’s) plan.
Quran 4:152 Koran 4:152 But those who have faith in Allaah and His (Allaah’s) Messengers and make no difference between any of them (because they believe what was revealed by all the messengers and prophets of Allaah), We (Allaah) shall give those with faith (in Allaah and faith in all his messengers and prophets) their rewards (in the hereafter). Allaah is always ready to forgive and He (Allaah) is most merciful.
Gospel of Matthew 16:4 "A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah." And he left them and went away.
Comments:

Those who do not believe that Jesus is a prophet of Allaah demand to see a sign as proof.
Those who do not believe that Jesus is a messenger of Allaah demand to see a sign as proof.

3. The eighteenth sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15.
How could Jesus be alive on the cross as revealed by the prophet after Jesus?
Jonah was inside a whale for 3 days and Allaah protected Jonah so that Jonah did not die and in the same way after 3 days those who disbelieved and said Jesus is dead heard from those who believed that Jesus was alive.
Allaah protected His prophet.
Allaah protected His messenger.
Allaah protected the messiah.
Allaah protected prophet Jesus.
Allaah protected His messenger Jesus.
Allaah protected messiah Jesus.
Quran 4:157 Koran 4:157 “…. It is certain that they (the Jews and the Romans) did not kill him (Prophet Jesus because three days later Prophet Jesus is seen alive with the angels of Allaah who cared for him as reported in the Gospels).
Three days after the crucifixion Jesus told Mary Magdalene to tell all the disciples that Jesus did not die on the cross in Gospel of John 20:17 “I have not yet ascended to the Father” meaning Allaah saved the life of Jesus on the cross with a miracle which made people think Jesus was dead on the cross in the same way Allaah made people believe a sleeping person was dead in Gospel of Mark 5:39, Gospel of Matthew 9:24 and Gospel of Luke 8:52.
The soul of every human ascends to Allaah during sleep and when they die (Quran 39:42).
When Jesus says “I (Jesus) have not yet ascended to the Father (Allaah)” Jesus is not talking about sleep because every human ascends to Allaah every night during sleep therefore the meaning is Jesus has not yet died meaning Allaah saved the life of Jesus on the cross with sleep (Gospel of Mark 5:39, Gospel of Matthew 9:24, Gospel of Luke 8:52, Quran 4:158 and Quran 39:42) meaning Jesus did not die on the cross with death but was saved on the cross with sleep which looked like Jesus was dead and in this way Allaah saved the life of Jesus meaning no one killed Jesus (Gospel of Luke 8:54 – 8:55 and Quran 39:42) meaning no one crucified Jesus to death (Quran 4:157) meaning Jesus was not sacrificed but was saved from death with sleep in Quran 4:158 and Quran 39:42 for the same reason Allaah saved the son of Abraham from death in a test of the faith in Allaah of Abraham and Jesus.
When Jesus says "I (Jesus) am ascending to my Father (Allaah) and your Father (Allaah)" it means Jesus will die like every human dies meaning Jesus died a natural death at the end of his life 2000 years ago (Quran 3:144 and Quran 5:75) as proof Jesus is human and as proof Jesus is not Allaah.
Gospel of John 20:17 Jesus says to her (Mary Magdalene), "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father (Allaah); but go to my brothers (my disciples), and tell them: 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father; to my Allaah and your Allaah.'"
Note 1. After the crucifixion Jesus says do not hold on to me to see if I am really alive, I have not yet ascended to my Father meaning I am not yet dead meaning I am really alive meaning I am not a ghost.
Quran 6:60 Koran 6:60 He (Allaah) is the one who takes your souls at night (when you sleep) and He (Allaah) knows everything you did in the day. Then He (Allaah) wakes you again so that your life span may be fulfilled. Afterward (in the Hereafter) to Him (Allaah) you shall return. Then He (Allaah) shall inform you of what you used to do.
Gospel of Matthew 16:5 And when the disciples were going to the other side, they forgot to take bread loaves.

Gospel of Matthew 16:8 And Jesus knowing, said, "You of little faith, why are you reasoning among yourselves, 'We have no bread loaves'?
Comments:
What does “O you of little faith” mean?
O you of little faith means you who lack confidence in Allaah.
When you put your faith in Allaah as Jesus did then all things become possible and help is near.
Gospel of Matthew 16:9 Do you still not understand nor remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you picked up?
Gospel of Matthew 16:10 Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you picked up?
Gospel of Matthew 16:11 How do you not understand that it was not about bread that I was speaking to you? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
Gospel of Matthew 16:12 Then they understood, that he had not meant they should be on their guard against yeast, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Torah Exodus 4:22 And you (Moses) shall say to Pharaoh, The Lord (Allaah) says, “Israel is My son, My first born.” (Meaning, the people of Israel are my servant).
Torah Exodus 4:23 And I (Allaah) have said to you (Pharaoh), “Let My son go so that he may serve Me (meaning Let My servant go so that they may serve Me, Allaah) and you (Pharaoh) have refused to let him go…”)
Note 1. Jesus is the “son of Allaah” meaning the servant of Allaah in the Gospel of Matthew 16:16 like Moses is the “son of Allaah” meaning the servant of Allaah in Torah Exodus 4:22 – 4:23.

2. The ninth sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15.

The son means the servant.
The living Allaah means the one Allaah who has existed forever and who will exist forever.

4. Allaah in the Torah revealed that Allaah is not the Son of Man.
Allaah in the Torah revealed that Allaah is not a human who repents for human sins.
Torah Numbers 23:19 (Allaah said, through the month of Balaam) “Allaah is not a man, that He should lie, neither (is He) the son of a man, that He (Allaah) should repent (for your sins). When He has said (something) shall He not do it? Or when He has spoken, shall He not make it good...."
(Note 1. Allaah has revealed that every human must pray to Allaah for forgiveness.
(Note 2. Allaah has revealed that Allaah is not a human who repents for human sins because it is the duty of each human to ask Allaah for forgiveness.
4-1. If Allaah is not the Son of Man then Trinity does not exist.
Jesus is the Son of Man so Jesus cannot be Allaah in a Trinity (Torah Numbers 23:19).
Torah Numbers 23:19 (Allaah said, through the month of Balaam) “Allaah is not a man, that He should lie, neither (is He) the son of a man, that He (Allaah) should repent (for your sins). When He has said (something) shall He not do it? Or when He has spoken, shall He not make it good...."

In the Gospel Jesus is the Son of Man (Torah Numbers 23:19).
5. When Jesus asked who do you think I am, a prophet, a messenger or the messiah why did Jesus say the messiah?
A prophet of Allaah reveals the future as commanded by Allaah for the purpose of warning humans to do what is good and avoid what is bad.
2000 years ago the Jews were waiting for a messiah who would be a prophet and a messenger that was anointed by Allaah to save the children of Israel from the idol worshipping Roman Empire by restoring freedom and independence in Jewish Judea.
The messiah Allaah sent was a prophet and a messenger of Allaah who has been anointed by Allaah to save the Children of Israel not from the Romans but from the punishment of Allaah for turning the second Holy House of Allaah into a House of sin just as had been done in an earlier time by their fathers in the first House of Allaah but the leaders of the second Temple of Allaah rejected the message of peace and salvation that was delivered by the messiah that Allaah had sent and so firstly the second Temple of Allaah on the Holy Temple Mount was destroyed, secondly the children of Israel were scattered across the world and thirdly the House of Allaah on the Holy Temple Mount was given to another people.
Gospel of Matthew 15:24 “… "I (the Messiah Jesus) was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
(Note 1. Jesus the prophet of Allaah and Jesus the messenger of Allaah did all he could to fulfill his mission as Jesus the messiah who was sent by Allaah but who was rejected by the leaders of the second House of Allaah.
(Note 2. Thirty seven years after Messiah Jesus had left the earth the judgement of Allaah resulted in the destruction of the second House of Allaah in Jerusalem, Al-Quds in Judea today in southern Israel and Palestine.
(Note 3. A messiah is both a prophet of Allaah and a messenger of Allaah.
(Note 4. Moses is both a prophet of Allaah and a messenger of Allaah but Moses was not given the name messiah.
(Note 5. John is a prophet of Allaah but John is not a messenger of Allaah nor a messiah.
(Note 6. Who is Jesus?
Jesus is a prophet of Allaah (the revealer of the future) and a messenger of Allaah who brought the peace of Allaah’s word to the children of Israel but it was rejected by the leaders of the second Temple of Allaah).
Jesus is a prophet and a messenger and a messiah in the same way as the prophets and messengers and messiahs before him.
Jesus is the son of Mary (his mother) and the son of man (a human) and the son of Allaah (meaning a servant of Allaah, a slave of Allaah).
In the Torah all the children of Israel are the son of Allaah meaning the servants of Allaah, the slaves of Allaah.
In the Gospel Jesus is the son of Allaah meaning Jesus is the servant of Allaah because the Gospel is the story of one of the children of Israel named Jesus).
Torah Exodus 4:22 And you (Moses) shall say to Pharaoh, The Lord (Allaah) says, “Israel is My son, My first born.” (Meaning, the people of Israel are my servant).
Torah Exodus 4:23 And I (Allaah) have said to you (Pharaoh), “Let My son go so that he may serve Me (meaning Let My servant go so that they may serve Me, Allaah) and you (Pharaoh) have refused to let him go…”)
Note 1. Jesus is the “son of Allaah” meaning the servant of Allaah in the Gospel of Matthew 16:16 like Moses is the “son of Allaah” meaning the servant of Allaah in Torah Exodus 4:22 – 4:23.
Note 2. The only begotten son meaning the servant with the supreme authority to speak “in the name of Allaah” 2000 years ago in the Gospel was Jesus in the same way as the only begotten son meaning the servant with the supreme authority to speak “in the name of Allaah” 3200 years ago in the Torah was Moses.
Quran 19:93 Koran 19:93 There is no one in the heavens and the earth who does not come to the Most Merciful (Allaah) except as a servant.

Gospel of Matthew 13:58 And he (Jesus) did not do many miracles there (in Nazareth because Jesus was not honoured by the people in his home town), because of their unbelief.
Gospel of Matthew 23:34 Therefore behold, I (Allaah) am sending to you (the children of Israel) prophets (Jesus and the comforter after Jesus who will be the last prophet from Allaah confirming life after death which is a comfort to the world, see the Gospel of John 14:16), and wise men, and Torah scholars; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town,

6-3. Jesus is the prophet and messenger of Allaah known as the messiah.
Gospel of Matthew 16:13 And upon entering into the area of the Caesarea that was in Philip's jurisdiction, Jesus queried his disciples, saying, "Who are the people saying the Son of Man (the human Jesus) is?"

Gospel of Matthew 16:17 And Jesus in response said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because it was not flesh and blood (humans) that revealed this to you, but my Father (Allaah), who is in heaven.
(Note 1. Who is the Father?
Allaah is the Father of every creation.
Jesus is a creation.
Jesus is not Allaah because Allaah is the creator. Allaah is not a creation.
Praying to any creation that is alive or dead is called idol worship.
Only Allaah who is the creator of every creation has the power to hear prayer.
Only Allaah who is the Father of every creation has the power to hear prayer.
(Note 2. Those that go to heaven are not those that do the will of Jesus but only those that do the will of Allaah.
Gospel of Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone saying to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one doing the will of my Father (Allaah) who is in heaven.
Gospel of Matthew 12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father (Allaah) in heaven, that person is my brother and sister and mother."
Gospel of John 20:17 Jesus says to her, "Do not cleave (hold on) to me, for I (Jesus) have not yet ascended to the Father (Allaah); but go to my brothers, and tell them: 'I (Jesus) am ascending to my Father and your Father; to my Allaah and your Allaah.'"
(Note 3. Allaah is the Father of every human.
Allaah is the Father of every creation.
6-4. At a time after the death of Prophet John, Allaah revealed the future through the Holy Spirit to Jesus that:
Gospel of Matthew 23:34 “… I (Allaah) am sending to you (the children of Israel) prophets (Jesus and the comforter after Jesus who will be the last prophet from Allaah confirming life after death which is a comfort to the world, see the Gospel of John 14:16) …”
See Gospel of Matthew 23:34 (16:16, 17:5, 21:27, 24:5, 26:32, 27:43 and 28:7) comments.
7. Is Jesus Allaah?
Allaah is the creator of every creation.
Jesus is a creation.
Jesus is a human.
Jesus is not Allaah.
Making a human to be Allaah is called idol worship.
Praying to a human is called idol worship because only Allaah has the power to hear prayer.
Quran 3:45 Koran 3:45 (Remember) when the angels said, "O Mary, Allaah gives you the good news of a Word (decree) from Him (Allaah, of the creation of a baby boy and) his name shall be the Messiah Jesus the son of Mary. (Messiah Jesus shall be) held in honour in this world and in the Hereafter and (he) shall be one of those who are near to Allaah."
Quran 5:17 Koran 5:17 Those (some of the Christians) who say, “Allaah is the Messiah (meaning Allaah is Jesus), son of Mary” have indeed shown their disbelief in Allaah (because they idol worship by praying to a human instead of praying to Allaah who is the creator of every human). Say (to them), “Who has power against Allaah, if He (Allaah) had willed to destroy the Messiah (Jesus) son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on earth? (In fact) Allaah is the owner and controller of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. He (Allaah) created what He (Allaah) willed. (Only) Allaah is (the One who is) able to do all things.
Quran 5:75 Koran 5:75 The Messiah (Jesus Isa), son of Mary (Maryam), was no more than a (human) messenger (of Allaah) and (all the human) messengers (of Allaah) before him (Prophet Jesus Isa) have passed away (meaning died. All the messengers before Jesus Isa have died so would you expect that Prophet Muhammad would live forever or expect that Prophet Muhammad will not die or believe that Prophet Jesus Isa did not die or that Prophet Moses Musa did not die or that Prophet Abraham Ibrahim did not die? See Quran 3:144, 4:157, 4:158, 5:72, 5:75, 5:117, 19:36 and 39:42 comments). His mother was a righteous woman and they (Jesus Isa and Mary Maryam) both used to eat food (meaning Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa died a natural death 2000 years ago because both “used to eat food” meaning they are dead because they do not eat food today. The human body needs food. When Adam and Eve Hawa were created with a human body they ate food in heaven. If the human body of Jesus Isa was raised to heaven as some people claim then Jesus Isa would be eating food today which contradicts Quran 5:75 “Jesus and Mary both used to eat food” meaning Jesus and Mary both do not eat food today because they died a natural death like every human messenger of Allaah before them has died in Quran 5:75 and as Prophet Jesus Isa died in Quran 3:144 which says the messengers of Allaah before Prophet Muhammad have died meaning Jesus Isa died 2000 years ago because the messenger of Allaah before Prophet Muhammad is Prophet Jesus Isa who lived and died a natural death 2000 years ago. Allaah raises the soul to heaven not the human body. The soul is alive in heaven without a human body and without the need for food. The human body is only needed on this earth. The soul without the body for Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa are in heaven waiting for the Day of Resurrection which will come in the hereafter on a new earth after the end of this earth, the sun, the moon, the stars and the universe meaning the Day of Resurrection is after the end of this first creation. After the Day of Resurrection and Judgement the new physical human body will eat food in the hereafter only for enjoyment in Paradise Jannah and only for punishment in Hell Jahannam). (Even now when) We (Allaah) make the revelations clear for them (that Jesus Isa is not Allaah but a human by showing that the soul of Jesus Isa was raised up to Allaah like every human soul is raised up to Allaah by the angel of death) see how they (some among the Christians who believe Jesus Isa is Allaah) are deluded (in thinking that Jesus Isa is more than a human messenger. Moses Musa describes all the messengers who will come after him including Jesus Isa in Taurat Torah Deuteronomy 18:15 – 18:22. Jesus Isa never said "I am Allaah" or "worship me" or "I am a Trinity" in the Gospel of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John and that is why such beliefs are called "deluded" meaning they are not true because they are opposite to what Jesus Isa is teaching in all the Gospels Injils that were with the Christians 1400 years ago and are still with them today and will be with them until the Day of Judgement as proof that Jesus Isa never claimed he was Allaah and as proof Jesus Isa told people to pray not to him but to Allaah and worship not him but worship Allaah. What some people think Jesus Isa said is opposite to the meaning of the words of Jesus Isa which are recorded in all the Gospels Injils and this is why it is said that some Christians 1400 years ago had deluded ideas meaning untrue ideas that Jesus Isa was more than a human or that he was Allaah or that he was a partner with Allaah in a Trinity. Jesus Isa was a human who died like every human before him had died and whose soul was raised up to Allaah to be in Allaah's care like the soul of every human is raised up after death to be in Allaah's care. The meaning of Quran 5:75 is that Jesus Isa died 2000 years ago like every human messenger of Allaah had died before him as proof to the people in his time that Jesus is not Allaah or a partner with Allaah but only a human servant who delivered the message of Allaah. The natural death of Prophet Jesus Isa 2000 years ago when Jesus Isa was raised up to Allaah by the angel of death in Quran 3:144, Quran 5:75, Quran 5:117 and Quran 39:42 is confirmed in the Injils of Isa the Gospels of Jesus by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John which is with the Christians today as proof of the truthfulness of the Quran in the Gospel of Mark 16:19, the Gospel of Luke 24:51 and the last report of the life of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew 28:20 and the Gospel of John 21:25 which all show that Jesus lived his life on this earth after the crucifixion teaching the people that he is not Allaah saying "Allaah is my Father and your Father" meaning Allaah is my creator and your creator and teaching the people "Allaah is my Allaah and your Allaah" meaning Allaah is my master and your master meaning Allaah is my Lord and your Lord in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 until his natural death 2000 years ago in Judea today in Israel and Palestine).
Note 1. In Quran 5:75 "they used to eat food" means Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa are dead.
Gospel of Matthew 16:17 And Jesus in response said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because it was not flesh and blood (a human) that revealed this to you, but (it was the Holy Spirit sent by) my Father (Allaah), who is in heaven.
Note 1. Allaah is the Father of every creation including Jesus because Allaah created Jesus.
Comments:
1. What does “it was not flesh and blood that revealed this to you, but my Father, who is in heaven” mean?
This knowledge was not revealed to you by any human but the knowledge of who Jesus is was revealed to your heart by Allaah.
The way Allaah revealed knowledge to Peter is the same way that Allaah revealed knowledge to Jesus.
2. The fourth sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15.
The prophet after Jesus confirmed that the Holy Spirit is the one who is commanded by Allaah to reveal the word of Allaah to the heart of humans.
Allaah made revelations to Jesus and to Peter through the Holy Spirit (the Holy Ghost Angel Gabriel, the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel).
See Gospel of Matthew 22:43 and 28:19 (10:20, 16:17 and 21:44) comments.
Quran 2:253 Koran 2:253 “… To (messenger, prophet and messiah) Jesus the son of Mary We (Allaah through the Holy Spirit) gave signs (of his truthfulness) and strengthened him (Jesus) with the Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel, the Holy Ghost) …”
Quran 2:97 Koran 2:97 Say (Prophet Muhammad, to the people), who is against (Angel) Gabriel? because it is he (Angel Gabriel) who has revealed this (Scripture, the Quran) to your heart (Prophet Muhammad) by Allaah’s permission, confirming what was revealed before it (in the Gospel and in the Torah), and as a guidance and good news for those who believe.
Quran 40:15 Koran 40:15 Raised high above any ranks (or any degrees, or any measurement, or any evaluation, or of anything that exists), (He Allaah is) the Lord of the Throne (The Master controller of everything, owner of everything that is created), By His command He (Allaah) sends the Spirit (of inspiration, of revelation, of His command, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost, Angel Gabriel) to any of His (Allaah’s) servants as He (Allaah) pleases so that it (whomever Allaah sends the inspiration of Allaah’s revelations, whomever Allaah sends the inspiration of Allaah’s command) may warn (people) of the Day of Mutual Meeting (the Day of the meeting with Allaah on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement).
Gospel of Matthew 16:18 And I also say to you, that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.
Comments:
1. What does “I shall build my church” mean?
A church is the same as a synagogue.
A church is the same as a mosque.
A church means the belief in Allaah.
A synagogue means the belief in Allaah.
A mosque means the belief in Allaah.
Jews in a synagogue worship the one living Allaah.
Christians in a church worship the one living Allaah.
Muslims in a mosque worship the one living Allaah.
A synagogue is the house of the one living Allaah.
A church is the house of the one living Allaah.
A mosque is the house of the one living Allaah.
I shall build my church means that through the disciples of Jesus the belief in Allaah shall be taught.
2. What does “the gates of Hades will not prevail against it” mean?
Hades is Hell.
Evil will not be successful against the belief in Allaah.
Gospel of Matthew 16:19 And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you declare to be forbidden on earth shall have been forbidden in heaven, and whatever you declare to be permitted on earth shall have been permitted in heaven."
Comments:
1. Allaah revealed to Jesus who shall be admitted to heaven.
Allaah has revealed to Jesus that Peter and the other obedient disciples of Jesus shall be admitted to heaven.
When Jesus leaves the Earth the Holy Spirit shall continue with the disciples of Jesus just as the Holy Spirit is with Peter during the life of Jesus.
2. The nineteenth sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15.
Peter and the other disciples of Jesus are not the next comforter after Jesus.
The Holy Spirit is not the next comforter after Jesus.
2-1. Simon Peter and the other disciples of Jesus are not the next prophet after Jesus.
Simon Peter and the other disciples of Jesus are not the next prophet after Jesus because the Gospel of Matthew 16:17 revealed that the Holy Spirit was in both Jesus and Simon Peter during the life of Jesus but the Gospel of John 16:7 reveals that the comforter shall not come until Jesus departs therefore none of the disciples of Jesus is the next prophet or comforter after Jesus because the Holy Spirit had already come and was already with Jesus and Simon Peter also see Gospel of Matthew 18:18 and 18:19 comments.
Gospel of Matthew 16:17 And Jesus in response said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because it was not flesh and blood that revealed this to you, but my Father, who is in heaven.
(Note 1. This knowledge was not revealed to you by any human but the knowledge of who Jesus is was revealed to your heart by Allaah.
The way Allaah revealed knowledge to Peter is the same way that Allaah revealed knowledge to Jesus.
Knowledge was revealed by Allaah to both Jesus and Peter through the Holy Spirit.
Gospel of John 16:7 Nevertheless I (Jesus) tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I (Prophet Jesus) go away because if I do not go away then the Comforter shall not come to you (humans) but if I depart then I shall send him to you (humans, because Allaah has decreed that the next prophet cannot come until Jesus has departed from the Earth).
2-2. The comforter is the next prophet after Jesus.
Peter and the other disciples of Jesus are not the next prophet after Jesus because the Gospel of Matthew 16:17 revealed that the Holy Spirit was in both Jesus and Peter during the life of Jesus therefore the comforter is not the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit was already in Peter during the life of Jesus.
Gospel of Matthew 16:17 And Jesus in response said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because it was not flesh and blood that revealed this to you, but my Father, who is in heaven.
(Note 1. This knowledge was not revealed to you by any human but the knowledge of who Jesus is was revealed to your heart by Allaah.
The way Allaah revealed knowledge to Peter is the same way that Allaah revealed knowledge to Jesus.
Knowledge was revealed by Allaah to both Jesus and Peter through the Holy Spirit.
Gospel of John 16:7 Nevertheless I (Jesus) tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I (Prophet Jesus) go away because if I do not go away then the Comforter shall not come to you (humans) but if I depart then I shall send him to you (humans, because Allaah has decreed that the next prophet cannot come until Jesus has departed from the Earth).
2-3. The comforter is not the Holy Spirit.
The Gospel of Matthew 16:17 shows that the Holy spirit was already in Peter and Jesus in the time of Jesus.
In the Gospel of John 16:7 Jesus said “if I do not go away then the Comforter shall not come to you (humans)” therefore the Holy Spirit which was already in Peter and in Jesus cannot be the comforter.
Gospel of Matthew 16:17 And Jesus in response said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because it was not flesh and blood that revealed this to you, but my Father, who is in heaven.
(Note 1. This knowledge was not revealed to you by any human but the knowledge of who Jesus is was revealed to your heart by Allaah.
The way Allaah revealed knowledge to Peter is the same way that Allaah revealed knowledge to Jesus.
Knowledge was revealed by Allaah to both Jesus and Peter through the Holy Spirit.
Gospel of John 16:7 Nevertheless I (Jesus) tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I (Prophet Jesus) go away because if I do not go away then the Comforter shall not come to you (humans) but if I depart then I shall send him to you (humans, because Allaah has decreed that the next prophet cannot come until Jesus has departed from the Earth).
2-4. The Holy Spirit reveals the will of Allaah to the human heart.
Just as the Holy Spirit revealed the will of Allaah to Jesus and to Peter and to other disciples of Jesus in the same way the Holy Spirit would reveal the word of Allaah to the next prophet after Jesus.
Gospel of John 16:13 When he (the Comforter with), the Spirit of truth (sent by Allaah) has come he shall guide you to all truth because he shall not speak of himself but whatever he shall hear (from Allaah through the Holy Spirit), (that) is what he (the Comforter) shall speak and he (the Comforter) shall show you things to come.
3. What does “whatever you declare to be forbidden on earth shall have been forbidden in heaven, and whatever you declare to be permitted on earth shall have been permitted in heaven” means?
This means the disciples of Jesus who follow the teachings of Jesus will be guided by Allaah.
Gospel of Matthew 16:20 Then he admonished the disciples, that they not tell anyone that he was the Christ.
Comments:
1. Why did Jesus say “do not tell anyone that Jesus is the Christ.”
In the Gospel of Matthew 7:20 Jesus said that people should judge a man of Allaah by his works.
In the Gospel of Matthew 16:14 some said that when they heard about the works of a man (Jesus a name they did not know) they thought it was John the Baptizer resurrected from the dead.
Others thought the works of a man (Jesus a name they did not know) was Prophet Elijah resurrected as a sign that the messiah was coming to bring peace.
Others thought the works of a man (Jesus a name they did not know) was Prophet Jeremiah resurrected who had warned about the coming destruction of the nation of the children of Israel which resulted in the destruction of the first House of Allaah in Jerusalem, Al-Quds.
Others thought the works of a man (Jesus a name they did not know) was a prophet of Allaah.
In the Gospel of Matthew 16:15 Jesus asked his disciples “who do you say I am?" and in the Gospel of Matthew 16:16 Simon Peter said to Jesus, "You are the messiah, the servant of Allaah."
Jesus tells Peter that Allaah (through the Holy Spirit) had revealed that to him and Jesus tells all his disciples to keep this a secret.
Jesus is doing only what Allaah has commanded Jesus to do.
Allaah knows that the leaders of the second house of Allaah in Jerusalem, Al-Quds will not change their path just as the leaders of the First House of Allaah in Jerusalem, Al-Quds did not change their path when Prophet Jeremiah was sent to show their wrong doings.
Allaah has told Jesus do not tell anyone that Jesus is the anointed one who has been sent by Allaah so that Allaah can show on the Day of Judgement that Allaah’s judgement of those who lived in the time of Jesus is correct.
In other words after Jesus passed Allaah’s message about the sins of the leaders in the Second House of Allaah in Jerusalem, Al-Quds Allaah then allowed those leaders to do what they wished so that what they did would be the evidence that would show to them that Allaah’s judgement of them on the Day of Judgement is just and correct.
2. The ninth sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus in the Gospel.
Where is proof from Allaah that Muhammad is the prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus?
Where is proof that Allaah has blessed Prophet Muhammad?
Where is proof that Allaah has blessed the Quran?
Where is proof that Allaah has blessed the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, Al-Quds?
Allaah confirmed the prophet after Jesus by permitting the building of the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Holy ground of the First and Second Temples of Allaah in Jerusalem (Al-Quds), Palestine, today Israel and Palestine.
See Gospel of Matthew 1:23, 12:41, 12:42, 15:24, 16:16, 16:20, 21:12, 21:13, 21:43, 23:10, 23:38, 24:2, 24:11, 24:15, 24:24, 26:61, 26:63, 27:40, 27:50 and 27:51 comments.
Jesus predicts his death.
Comment:
What is death?
Allaah has decreed that every human must die.
Death is the sign of a human.
Death is the sign of every creation.
(Note 1. Gospel of Matthew 23:9 And call no one on earth your father (Allaah), because there is only one father (Allaah) for you, the heavenly one (the living invisible Allaah who is the creator of every creation).
(Note 2. Everything on the Earth is a creation. Jesus is a creation. The Holy Ghost is a creation. Calling a creation Allaah is the religion of idol worship.
Gospel of Matthew 16:21 From that point on, Jesus began to reveal to his disciples that he had to leave for Jerusalem, and suffer many things at the hands of the elders and chief priests and Torah scholars, and be killed, and on the third day rise again.
Comments:
1. The twenty first sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15.
Why did Allaah reveal to Jesus that Jesus would be killed? Allaah tested the faith of Jesus in Allaah.
Why did Allaah reveal to Jesus that Jesus would be resurrected? Allaah tested Jesus even more to show if Jesus really believed in resurrection.
Allaah tested Jesus with death like Allaah tested Abraham and Isaac with death.
Would Jesus be willing to sacrifice himself for Allaah like Abraham and Isaac?
The story of Jesus is clearly a test of the faith of Jesus in Allaah.
The story of Jesus is clearly proof of the love and obedience of Jesus to the will of Allaah.
See Gospel of Matthew 16:21, 20:28, 22:46, 24:3, 24:23, 26:12, 26:28, 26:32, 26:35, 27:52 and 28:7 comments.
Allaah gave the good news of Isaac Ishaq twice to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim.
In the story of Isaac Ishaq, Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim twice.
The first time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:101 which is the good news of the birth of Isaac Ishaq.
The second time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:112 which is the good news that Allaah stopped the sacrifice of Isaac Ishaq and for a second time gave Isaac Ishaq to Abraham Ibrahim.
.
Why does Allaah say sacrifice your only son Isaac Ishaq in the Torah Taurat?
When Allaah says sacrifice your only son Isaac Ishaq in the Torah Taurat Allaah is reminding Prophet Abraham Ibrahim that he already gave one son to Allaah when he long ago sent Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar into the desert.
Allaah tests Prophet Abraham Ibrahim a second time by saying sacrifice your only son Isaac Ishaq who still lives with you.
Will Prophet Abraham Ibrahim refuse Allaah and say but I already gave you Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar?
Will Prophet Abraham Ibrahim refuse Allaah and say but you promised future generations for me from Isaac Ishaq?
Will Prophet Abraham Ibrahim sacrifice Isaac Ishaq who is the only son still living with him after he had already given Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar to Allaah in the desert?
Will Prophet Abraham Ibrahim give Allaah both his sons?
.
When Prophet Abraham Ibrahim shows he will obey Allaah then Allaah stops the test and fulfils His promise because Allaah always fulfils His promise.
In the story of sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 Allaah only blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his son Prophet Isaac Ishaq. Allaah has left no other blessing.
.
Prophet Isaac Ishaq is called the good news son in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in Quran chapter 11, 15, 19, 29, 37 and 51.
When the Good News son is not named four times in Quran 15:53, 15:54, 15:55 and in Quran 51:28 it is Prophet Isaac Ishaq and this is the same in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:101 where the good news son is also not named because it is always the name Allaah gives to Prophet Isaac Ishaq.
.
When the Good News son is named five times in Quran 11:69, 11:71, 11:74 and Quran 29:27, 29:31 it is Prophet Isaac Ishaq and this is the same in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:112 where the good news son is also named Prophet Isaac Ishaq because Good News is always the name Allaah gives to Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran.
.
Allaah names Prophet Isaac Ishaq as the good news son 9 times in Quran chapter 11, 15, 19, 29 and 51.
Allaah names Prophet Isaac Ishaq four times in Quran chapter 37 twice as the good news son and twice by name.
In the story of the sacrifice in the Quran Allaah only blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his son Prophet Isaac Ishaq. Allaah has left no other blessing.
.
In the story of the vision dream of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran chapter 37 Allaah only blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his son Prophet Isaac Ishaq and leaves no other blessings in the story of the sacrifice and this famous vision dream is remembered in the next chapter Quran chapter 38 where Allaah blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq with the vision dream in Quran 38:45 – 38:47 and shows in the next verse that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not the son in the vision dream and Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not living with his father during the vision dream by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the blessing of the vision dream in Quran 38:48.
This is confirmed in Quran 12:6 and in Torah Genesis 22:2.
.
In two famous vision dreams in the Quran Allaah blesses both the father and the son with the vision dream of the sacrifice of the son in Quran chapter 38 after the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 and Allaah blesses both the father and the son with the vision dream of the bowing of the Sun and the Moon and the eleven stars towards one star in Quran chapter 12 as proof the Quran confirms the Torah Taurat meaning as proof humans do not have the power to change the word of Allaah in the Quran and in the Torah Taurat because if humans could change the word of Allaah it would be proof that Allaah did not exist.
.
Before Ishmael Ismail was born Allaah promised his mother Hagar Hajar that Ishmael Ismail would have many descendants in Torah Genesis 16:8 - 16:11 meaning before the story of the sacrifice Allaah promised that both Ishmael Ismail and Isaac Ishaq would have children.
.
Allaah told Abraham Ibrahim in a vision dream to sacrifice Isaac Ishaq (in Quran 38:45 – 38:47 and Quran 12:6) who was the only son living with him (in Torah Genesis 22:2) meaning Ishmael Ismail was not living in Canaan today Palestine and Israel during.the vision dream (in Quran 38:48 where Ishmael Ismail is not blessed with the vision dream and Ishmael Ismail is not blessed with his father meaning the only son living with Abraham Ibrahim during the vision dream is Isaac Ishaq in the blessing of the vision dream in Quran 38:45 – 38:47 and Quran 12:6).
.
Abraham Ibrahim passed the test because he did not reject Allaah by saying “I will not sacrifice Isaac Ishaq because you promised future generations for me from Isaac Ishaq” or “I will not sacrifice Isaac Ishaq because I already gave you Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar in the desert” instead Abraham Ibrahim showed that he would give both his sons to Allaah and this is when Allaah stopped the sacrifice and gave Isaac Ishaq a second time to Abraham Ibrahim in Quran 37:112.
.
The choice of a first born animal or a first born son in a sacrifice does not apply to Allaah because it is Allaah who has commanded this test of faith and it is Allaah who can choose anyone to be the sacrifice.
Abraham Ibrahim did not have a choice about who to sacrifice but he could only obey or disobey what Allaah commanded him to do in this test.
.
Allaah stopped the test when Abraham Ibrahim showed that after he had given his first son Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar to Allaah in the desert he was willing to sacrifice Isaac Ishaq who was his only son who was still living with Abraham Ibrahim in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine during the vision dream.
.
By stopping the sacrifice Allaah saved Isaac Ishaq and fulfilled the promise that Isaac Ishaq would have children as proof that Allaah always fulfils His promises and to teach humans that Allaah forbids human sacrifice in Quran 17:31, Quran 16:57 - 16:59, Quran 81:8 - 81:9, Leviticus 18:21, Leviticus 20:3, Deuteronomy 12:31, Deuteronomy 18:10, Deuteronomy 24:16, Hosea 6:6, Jeremiah 7:22 - 7:23, Psalm 40:7 in Tanakh Jewish Scripture or Psalm 40:6 in Christian Bibles and Micah 6:7 - 6:8.
.
The proof that Allaah is real is the Quran and the Torah Taurat confirming and explaining each other because "Whoever has no faith in His (Allaah’s) Books then he has strayed far away (from Allaah, Quran 4:136)."
.
Most early Muslims believed the son to be sacrificed is Isaac Ishaq.
Most later Muslims believed the son to be sacrificed is Ishmael Ismail.
This means most early Muslims believed no one changed the Torah Taurat which confirms Quran 2:40 (telling the Jewish people to observe their covenant with Allaah which is the Torah Taurat forever) and Quran 2:41 (telling the Jewish people that the Quran confirms what is with the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat) and most later Muslims believed the Torah Taurat was changed which contradicts Quran 2:40 (telling the Jewish people to observe their covenant with Allaah which is the Torah Taurat forever) and Quran 2:41 (telling the Jewish people that the Quran confirms what is with the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat).

(Note 1. Gospel of Mark 14:62 And Jesus said (at the Sanhedrin court to the High Priest of the Second Temple of Allaah in Jerusalem, Al-Quds), "I am, and you will all see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven (to be a witness for and against the deeds and beliefs of those who lived in his time or who later claimed to follow his teachings)."

Gospel of Matthew 16:23 But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! A hindrance you are to me, because you are not considering the concerns of Allaah, but the concerns of mortals."
Comment:
1. Why did Jesus say to Simon Peter “Get behind me, Satan?”
Allaah had told Jesus that Jesus would be killed.
Peter said if Allaah wills Jesus shall not be killed.
Jesus only believes what Allaah has revealed to Jesus.
Just as Abraham and Isaac did not reject the test of death in the sacrifice so also Jesus would not reject the test of death that Allaah has revealed to Jesus.
Jesus is obeying what Allaah revealed to Jesus.
Peter is obeying what Allaah revealed to Peter.
Jesus understood what Peter said as an attempt by Satan to weaken the resolve of Jesus to follow Allaah’s command.
The next prophet after Jesus would reveal that what Peter said was a sign from Allaah that Jesus was being tested and that like in the sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham Allaah did not will for the death of Isaac or the death of Jesus.
Allaah stopped the sacrifice of Isaac as proof that Allaah had not willed Isaac to be killed.
In the same way and for the same purpose that Allaah stopped the killing of Isaac in the sacrifice, Allaah had also not willed that Jesus be killed as shown three days after the crucifixion when Jesus was seen alive.
Gospel of Matthew 16:18 And I also say to you, that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.
(Note 1. Jesus said that Allaah has revealed knowledge to Peter in the Gospel of Matthew 16:17.

How does the Gospel confirm the next prophet after Jesus who revealed that Jesus was not killed on the cross?
Simon Peter revealed that Allaah willing Jesus will not be killed.
Peter has provided a statement that if Allaah wills than Jesus shall not be killed.
This sign confirms the next prophet after Jesus who showed that Allaah saved Jesus from dead just as Allaah saved Abraham and Isaac from death.
In the same way and for the same purpose that Allaah stopped the killing of Isaac in the sacrifice, Allaah had also not willed that Jesus be killed as shown three days after the crucifixion when Jesus was seen alive.
See Gospel of Matthew 16:22, 16:23, 16:24, 16:25, 20:28, 22:46, 26:28 and 26:35 comments.
Gospel of Matthew 16:24 Then, Jesus said to his disciples, "If someone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.
Comments:
1. What does “he must deny himself” mean?

For example Allaah revealed to Jesus that Jesus shall die.
Jesus accepts the will of Allaah.
Allaah reveals to Peter that if Allaah wills then Jesus shall not die in the Gospel of Matthew 16:22.
1-1. The twenty second sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15.
How does the Gospel confirm the next prophet after Jesus who revealed that Jesus was not killed on the cross?

See Gospel of Matthew 16:22, 16:23, 16:24, 16:25, 20:28, 22:46, 26:28 and 26:35 comments.
2. What is “take up his cross” mean?
Accept whatever difficulty Allaah has willed.
Jesus takes up his cross (Jesus accepts the test that Allaah has given to Jesus) by deny himself (by rejecting the will of Jesus and accepting the will of Allaah) and so Jesus rejects what Simon Peter has said in the Gospel of Matthew 16:23 because Jesus still believes what Allaah has revealed to Jesus namely that Jesus shall be killed.
See Gospel of Matthew 16:21, 16:22 and 16:23 comments.
Gospel of Matthew 16:25 For whoever tries to keep his life will lose it. But whoever loses his life for my sake, will find it.
Comments:
1. What does “whoever tries to keep his life will lose it” mean?
The person who lives a life of wrongdoing will loss their life with an everlasting punishment in the Hereafter
2. What does “whoever loses his life for my sake, will find it” mean?
The person who lives life by what Jesus revealed will find a life of everlasting reward in Paradise.
See Gospel of Matthew 10:39 comments.

3-1. The twenty second sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15.
How does the Gospel confirm the next prophet after Jesus who revealed that Jesus was not killed on the cross?
Simon Peter revealed that Allaah willing Jesus will not be killed.
Jesus denies himself by rejecting what Simon Peter has said in the Gospel of Matthew 16:23 because Jesus still believes what Allaah has revealed to Jesus namely that Jesus shall be killed.
See Gospel of Matthew 16:22, 16:23, 16:24, 16:25, 20:28, 22:46, 26:28 and 26:35 comments.
Three days after the crucifixion Jesus told Mary Magdalene to tell all the disciples that Jesus did not die on the cross in Gospel of John 20:17 “I have not yet ascended to the Father” meaning Allaah saved the life of Jesus on the cross with a miracle which made people think Jesus was dead on the cross in the same way Allaah made people believe a sleeping person was dead in Gospel of Mark 5:39, Gospel of Matthew 9:24 and Gospel of Luke 8:52.
The soul of every human ascends to Allaah during sleep and when they die (Quran 39:42).
When Jesus says “I (Jesus) have not yet ascended to the Father (Allaah)” Jesus is not talking about sleep because every human ascends to Allaah every night during sleep therefore the meaning is Jesus has not yet died meaning Allaah saved the life of Jesus on the cross with sleep (Gospel of Mark 5:39, Gospel of Matthew 9:24, Gospel of Luke 8:52, Quran 4:158 and Quran 39:42) meaning Jesus did not die on the cross with death but was saved on the cross with sleep which looked like Jesus was dead and in this way Allaah saved the life of Jesus meaning no one killed Jesus (Gospel of Luke 8:54 – 8:55 and Quran 39:42) meaning no one crucified Jesus to death (Quran 4:157) meaning Jesus was not sacrificed but was saved from death with sleep in Quran 4:158 and Quran 39:42 for the same reason Allaah saved the son of Abraham from death in a test of the faith in Allaah of Abraham and Jesus.
When Jesus says "I (Jesus) am ascending to my Father (Allaah) and your Father (Allaah)" it means Jesus will die like every human dies meaning Jesus died a natural death at the end of his life 2000 years ago (Quran 3:144 and Quran 5:75) as proof Jesus is human and as proof Jesus is not Allaah.
Gospel of John 20:17 Jesus says to her (Mary Magdalene), "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father (Allaah); but go to my brothers (my disciples), and tell them: 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father; to my Allaah and your Allaah.'"
Note 1. After the crucifixion Jesus says do not hold on to me to see if I am really alive, I have not yet ascended to my Father meaning I am not yet dead meaning I am really alive meaning I am not a ghost.
Quran 6:60 Koran 6:60 He (Allaah) is the one who takes your souls at night (when you sleep) and He (Allaah) knows everything you did in the day. Then He (Allaah) wakes you again so that your life span may be fulfilled. Afterward (in the Hereafter) to Him (Allaah) you shall return. Then He (Allaah) shall inform you of what you used to do.
Gospel of Matthew 16:26 For what will it gain a human being, if he acquires the whole world, but is penalized his soul? In other words, what will a human being pay, in trade for his soul?
Comments:
What is better then doing righteous work on the Earth for the reward of everlasting Paradise?
Gospel of Matthew 16:27 For the Son of Man will soon come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then, he will pay back to each one, according to the way of life of each.

The Prophets (the messenger of Allaah in their time or that they claimed to follow) and the witnesses (the Holy angels including the Holy Spirit and humans) shall be brought and it (the good and bad deeds of men and women) shall be judged between them (the Prophets and the witnesses and the Book of their good and bad deeds) with truth (as Allaah decreed) and they (those who are judged) shall not be wronged (by any incorrect judgement of what they did during their lifetime on the Earth).

2. The tenth sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15.
How does the Gospel confirm the prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus?
The Quran and the Gospel confirm what will happen on the Day of Judgement.
See Gospel of Matthew 10:32, 10:39, 13:41 – 13:43, 16:27, 19:28, 21:31, 24:30 and 28:18 comments.
Quran 5:69 Koran 5:69 (In the hereafter) truly those (Muslims) who believed and those who became Jews, Christians and Sabians, whoever believed in Allaah and the Last Day (The Day of Resurrection) and did good deeds, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and they shall not fear or grieve (and this is confirmed in Quran 6:158 for those in the hereafter who “believed” and did good deeds. Quran 5:69 repeats Quran 2:62 meaning stop and think about what Allaah is saying in these verses confirming what is in the Hebrew Bible and the Gospel Injil of the promise of Paradise Jannah from Allaah in the books of Allaah on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement for those who “believed” and did good deeds. The Quran brings the same truth which Allaah brought to the Jewish people in the Hebrew Bible and to the Christian people in the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John. The Quran is a confirmer of what came before it in the same way as the Gospel Injil is a confirmer of what came before it meaning the Books of Allaah confirm each other as proof Allaah is real and as proof His promise is real as explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ3o3ybc-KA showing that without His permission no one can change His words in His Books which are with all humans today and until the Day of Judgement so that you can believe Allaah is real and His promise is real).
Comment 1. Who goes to Paradise Jannah?
Note 1. The Jews who believed in Allaah and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 2. The Christians who believed in Allaah and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 3. The Sabians who believed in Allaah and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 4. The Muslims who believed in Allaah and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 5. Everyone who believed in Allaah and did good deeds goes to Paradise Jannah.
Note 6. This revelation is so important that Allaah has repeated it in Quran 2:62
In Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 the promise of Paradise Jannah is not for those who “believe” but only for those who “believed” meaning who died (past tense) because it is not until the time of death that your true belief or disbelief and your good and evil deeds are judged,
Allaah repeated Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 two times because it is only with Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 that there are no contradictions within the Quran and between the Quran and the Torah Taurat and between the Quran and the Gospel Injil as proof in Quran 4:82 to the Jews in the time of Prophet Muhammad who are promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 3:113-3:115 and to the Christians in the time of Prophet Muhammad who are promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 5:82-5:85 and to the stone idol worshippers 1400 years ago who are not promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 3:85 and to all people today and in the future that the Quran is from Allaah because the Quran contains no contradictions.
If Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 did not exist then it would be proof that the Quran was not from Allaah because without Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 the Quran would contradict its self and contradict the Torah Taurat and contradict the Gospel Injil.
Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 is good news for Jews, Christians, Sabians, Muslims and all the people in the world confirming they will all come together again in a life after death.
Quran 3:85 Koran 3:85 And whoever seeks a religion other than submission (to Allah Adonai Allaah Elohim G-d Allah HaShem Jehovah Yahweh YHWH which includes every human from the beginning of time until the end of time, for example stone idol worship) it shall not be accepted by Him (Allaah) in the Hereafter and (such a person) shall be one of the losers (in the hereafter. The word Islam has two meanings, the general meaning is submission in Quran 3:85 meaning anyone who submits to Allaah).
Note 1. The Muslim religion Islam is the religion of submission to Allaah (Quran 3:64).
Note 2. The Jewish religion Judaism is the religion of submission to Allaah (Quran 3:64).
Note 3. The Christian religion Christianity is the religion of submission to Allaah (Quran 3:64).
Note 4. Islam means submission and the Quran tells the Jews to observe the Sabbath Day meaning all Jews who observe the Sabbath Day are submitting to Allaah which means the word in Quran 3:85 is submission otherwise it would contradict other verses in the Quran and the Quran says it has no contradictions.
This means only one word "submission" is correct because it is the word with which there are no contradictions in the Quran.
Quran 49:13 Koran 49:13 All humans (hear this), We (Allaah revealed through Angel Gabriel to Prophet Muhammad) have created you (humans) male and female and have made you nations and tribes so that you may know one another. The noblest of you in the sight of Allaah is the most righteous (in behaviour). Allaah knows all and is aware of all things.
Quran 3:113 Koran 3:113 Not all of them (Jews and Christians) are the same, some of the people of the Scripture (the Jews and Christians) stand for what is right and they recite the revelations of Allaah during the hours of the night prostrating themselves in prayer (to Allaah).
Quran 3:114 Koran 3:114 Those (Jews and Christians) believe in Allaah and the Last Day and they do what is right and forbid what is wrong and they are quick to do good deeds and they are among the righteous.
Quran 3:115 Koran 3:115 And whatever good they (the Jews and Christians) do, it shall be accepted and Allaah knows very well who are the righteous (among the Jews and Christians).
Quran 22:17 Koran 22:17 Those who believed (and followed the Quran), and those who became Jews (and followed the Torah), and Sabians and Christians (who believed and followed the Gospel) and Zoroastrians and idol worshippers, Allaah shall decide between them on the Day of Resurrection. Allaah is the witness to all things.
Quran 39:68 Koran 39:68 The Horn (Trumpet) is blown and all who are in the heavens and the earth shall fall down dead except whoever Allaah wills. Then it (the Horn, Trumpet) is blown a second time and they (the resurrected humans) shall all be standing and looking.
Quran 39:69 Koran 39:69 And the earth (meaning, the land) shall shine with the light of its Lord (Allaah, when Allaah shall come to judge men and women on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement) and the Book (of their good and bad deeds) shall be shown. The Prophets (the messenger of Allaah in their time or that they claimed to follow) and the witnesses (the Holy angels including the Holy Spirit and humans) shall be brought and it (the good and bad deeds of men and women) shall be judged between them (the Prophets and the witnesses and the Book of their good and bad deeds) with truth (as Allaah decreed) and they (those who are judged) shall not be wronged (by any incorrect judgement of what they did during their lifetime on the Earth).
Quran 78:38 Koran 78:38 The Day (of Judgement) when the Spirit (angel Gabriel) and the (other) angels shall stand in rows and they shall not speak except for the one whom the most merciful (Allaah) allows (to speak) and they (the Spirit and the other angels) shall say what is correct.
Quran 39:70 Koran 39:70 And every soul shall be paid in full for what it did (in the life of the world). He (Allaah) is aware of what they do (without need of knowledge from the prophets or the witnesses or the Book of good and bad deeds which are used to show the soul the proof that the judgement of Allaah is correct).
Quran 78:39 Koran 78:39 That Day (of Judgement) is the Truth (it is real). So whoever wills should (prepare now to) return (to the hereafter with a correct belief and with good deeds from this life) to their Lord (Allaah).

Torah Numbers 23:19 (Allaah said, through the month of Balaam) “Allaah is not a man, that He should lie, neither (is He) the son of a man, that He (Allaah) should repent (for your sins). When He has said (something) shall He not do it? Or when He has spoken, shall He not make it good...."
(Note 1. Allaah has revealed that Allaah is not a human who repents for human sins because it is the duty of each human to ask Allaah for forgiveness.
3-1. If Allaah is not the Son of Man then Trinity does not exist.
Jesus is the Son of Man so Jesus cannot be Allaah in a Trinity (Torah Numbers 23:19).
Torah Numbers 23:19 (Allaah said, through the month of Balaam) “Allaah is not a man, that He should lie, neither (is He) the son of a man, that He (Allaah) should repent (for your sins). When He has said (something) shall He not do it? Or when He has spoken, shall He not make it good...."
3-2. If Allaah is not the Son of Man then who is Jesus?
In the Gospel Jesus is the Son of Man (Torah Numbers 23:19).
4. When Jesus asked who do you think I am, a prophet, a messenger or the messiah why did Jesus say the messiah?
A prophet of Allaah reveals the future as commanded by Allaah for the purpose of warning humans to do what is good and avoid what is bad.
2000 years ago the Jews were waiting for a messiah who would be a prophet and a messenger that was anointed by Allaah to save the children of Israel from the idol worshipping Roman Empire by restoring freedom and independence in Jewish Judea.
The messiah Allaah sent was a prophet and a messenger of Allaah who has been anointed by Allaah to save the Children of Israel not from the Romans but from the punishment of Allaah for turning the second Holy House of Allaah into a House of sin just as had been done in an earlier time by their fathers in the first House of Allaah but the leaders of the second Temple of Allaah rejected the message of peace and salvation that was delivered by the messiah that Allaah had sent and so firstly the second Temple of Allaah on the Holy Temple Mount was destroyed, secondly the children of Israel were scattered across the world and thirdly the House of Allaah on the Holy Temple Mount was given to another people.
Gospel of Matthew 15:24 “… "I (the Messiah Jesus) was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
(Note 1. Jesus the prophet of Allaah and Jesus the messenger of Allaah did all he could to fulfill his mission as Jesus the messiah who was sent by Allaah but who was rejected by the leaders of the second House of Allaah.
(Note 2. Thirty seven years after Messiah Jesus had left the earth the judgement of Allaah resulted in the destruction of the second House of Allaah in Jerusalem, Al-Quds in Judea today in southern Israel and Palestine.
(Note 3. A messiah is both a prophet of Allaah and a messenger of Allaah.
(Note 4. Moses is both a prophet of Allaah and a messenger of Allaah but Moses was not given the name messiah.
(Note 5. John is a prophet of Allaah but John is not a messenger of Allaah nor a messiah.
(Note 6. Who is Jesus?
Jesus is a prophet of Allaah (the revealer of the future) and a messenger of Allaah who brought the peace of Allaah’s word to the children of Israel but it was rejected by the leaders of the second Temple of Allaah).
Jesus is a prophet and a messenger and a messiah in the same way as the prophets and messengers and messiahs before him.
Jesus is the son of Mary (his mother) and the son of man (a human) and the son of Allaah (meaning a servant of Allaah, a slave of Allaah).
In the Torah all the children of Israel are the son of Allaah meaning the servants of Allaah, the slaves of Allaah.
In the Gospel Jesus is the son of Allaah meaning Jesus is the servant of Allaah because the Gospel is the story of one of the children of Israel named Jesus).
Torah Exodus 4:22 And you (Moses) shall say to Pharaoh, The Lord (Allaah) says, “Israel is My son, My first born.” (Meaning, the people of Israel are my servant).
Torah Exodus 4:23 And I (Allaah) have said to you (Pharaoh), “Let My son go so that he may serve Me (meaning Let My servant go so that they may serve Me, Allaah) and you (Pharaoh) have refused to let him go…”)
Quran 19:93 Koran 19:93 There is no one in the heavens and the earth who does not come to the Most Merciful (Allaah) except as a servant.
See the first, second Temple and tAl-Aqsa Mosque in the Gospel of Matthew 18:11 comments.
5. What is a prophet of Allaah, messenger of Allaah and messiah of Allaah?
A prophet of Allaah is a prophet.
A messenger of Allaah is a prophet and a messenger.
A messiah of Allaah is a prophet and a messenger and a messiah.
5-1. Jesus is a prophet of Allaah.
Gospel of Matthew 13:57 And they (the people in the home town of Jesus in Nazareth) were offended by him (Jesus). And Jesus (talking about the disbelief of the people in his home town of Nazareth and) said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his home town, and among his relatives (because most of the people in Nazareth disbelieved Jesus)."
Gospel of Matthew 13:58 And he (Jesus) did not do many miracles there (in Nazareth because Jesus was not honoured by the people in his home town), because of their unbelief.
Gospel of Matthew 23:34 Therefore behold, I (Allaah) am sending to you (the children of Israel) prophets (Jesus and the comforter after Jesus who will be the last prophet from Allaah confirming life after death which is a comfort to the world, see the Gospel of John 14:16), and wise men, and Torah scholars; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town,
Note 1. A messenger from Allaah is also a prophet.
5-2. Jesus is a messenger of Allaah.
Gospel of John 14:16 And I (Prophet Jesus) shall pray to the Father (Allaah) and he shall give you another Comforter (meaning that Jesus is a comforter and Jesus said another comforter such as a messenger and prophet of Allaah will come to Earth after Jesus) so that he may abide with you forever (this is the last Prophet with the last revelation of guidance from Allaah that shall come after Prophet Jesus has left the earth and when it comes it shall be left to stay with humans forever);
5-3. Jesus is the prophet and messenger of Allaah known as the messiah.
Gospel of Matthew 16:13 And upon entering into the area of the Caesarea that was in Philip's jurisdiction, Jesus queried his disciples, saying, "Who are the people saying the Son of Man (the human Jesus) is?"
(Note 1. In the Gospel Jesus is the Son of Man meaning Jesus is human.
The Gospel is the story of one Son of Man, one human named Jesus).
Gospel of Matthew 16:14 And they said, "Some, John the Baptizer (resurrected from the past); others, Elijah (resurrected from the past); and still others, Jeremiah (resurrected from the past) or one of The Prophets (resurrected from the past)."
(Note 1. The miracles of Jesus made people believe that Jesus was a prophet from the past that Allaah had resurrected and given amazing powers).
(Note 2. Jesus did not deny being a prophet but Jesus denied being a prophet from the past).
Gospel of Matthew 16:15 He (Jesus) says to them, "And you, who do you say I am?"
Gospel of Matthew 16:16 And Simon Peter answered, and said to him, "You are the Christ (the prophet and messenger of Allaah who has been anointed as the messiah), the son (the servant, the slave) of the living Allaah."
Gospel of Matthew 16:17 And Jesus in response said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because it was not flesh and blood (humans) that revealed this to you, but my Father (Allaah), who is in heaven.
(Note 1. Who is the Father?
Allaah is the Father of every creation.
Jesus is a creation.
Jesus is not Allaah because Allaah is the creator. Allaah is not a creation.
Praying to any creation that is alive or dead is called idol worship.
Only Allaah who is the creator of every creation has the power to hear prayer.
Only Allaah who is the Father of every creation has the power to hear prayer.
(Note 2. Those that go to heaven are not those that do the will of Jesus but only those that do the will of Allaah.
Gospel of Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone saying to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one doing the will of my Father (Allaah) who is in heaven.
Gospel of Matthew 12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father (Allaah) in heaven, that person is my brother and sister and mother."
Gospel of John 20:17 Jesus says to her, "Do not cleave (hold on) to me, for I (Jesus) have not yet ascended to the Father (Allaah); but go to my brothers, and tell them: 'I (Jesus) am ascending to my Father and your Father; to my Allaah and your Allaah.'"
(Note 3. Allaah is the Father of every human.
Allaah is the Father of every creation.
5-4. At a time after the death of Prophet John, Allaah revealed the future through the Holy Spirit to Jesus that:
Gospel of Matthew 23:34 “… I (Allaah) am sending to you (the children of Israel) prophets (Jesus and the comforter after Jesus who will be the last prophet from Allaah confirming life after death which is a comfort to the world, see the Gospel of John 14:16) …”
See Gospel of Matthew 23:34 (16:16, 17:5, 21:27, 24:5, 26:32, 27:43 and 28:7) comments.
6. Is Jesus Allaah?
Allaah is the creator of every creation.
Jesus is a creation.
Jesus is a human.
Jesus is not Allaah.
Making a human to be Allaah is called idol worship.
Praying to a human is called idol worship because only Allaah has the power to hear prayer.
Quran 3:45 Koran 3:45 (Remember) when the angels said, "O Mary, Allaah gives you the good news of a Word (decree) from Him (Allaah, of the creation of a baby boy and) his name shall be the Messiah Jesus the son of Mary. (Messiah Jesus shall be) held in honour in this world and in the Hereafter and (he) shall be one of those who are near to Allaah."
Quran 5:17 Koran 5:17 Those (some of the Christians) who say, “Allaah is the Messiah (meaning Allaah is Jesus), son of Mary” have indeed shown their disbelief in Allaah (because they idol worship by praying to a human instead of praying to Allaah who is the creator of every human). Say (to them), “Who has power against Allaah, if He (Allaah) had willed to destroy the Messiah (Jesus) son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on earth? (In fact) Allaah is the owner and controller of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. He (Allaah) created what He (Allaah) willed. (Only) Allaah is (the One who is) able to do all things.
Quran 5:75 Koran 5:75 The Messiah (Jesus Isa), son of Mary (Maryam), was no more than a (human) messenger (of Allaah) and (all the human) messengers (of Allaah) before him (Prophet Jesus Isa) have passed away (meaning died. All the messengers before Jesus Isa have died so would you expect that Prophet Muhammad would live forever or expect that Prophet Muhammad will not die or believe that Prophet Jesus Isa did not die or that Prophet Moses Musa did not die or that Prophet Abraham Ibrahim did not die? See Quran 3:144, 4:157, 4:158, 5:72, 5:75, 5:117, 19:36 and 39:42 comments). His mother was a righteous woman and they (Jesus Isa and Mary Maryam) both used to eat food (meaning Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa died a natural death 2000 years ago because both “used to eat food” meaning they are dead because they do not eat food today. The human body needs food. When Adam and Eve Hawa were created with a human body they ate food in heaven. If the human body of Jesus Isa was raised to heaven as some people claim then Jesus Isa would be eating food today which contradicts Quran 5:75 “Jesus and Mary both used to eat food” meaning Jesus and Mary both do not eat food today because they died a natural death like every human messenger of Allaah before them has died in Quran 5:75 and as Prophet Jesus Isa died in Quran 3:144 which says the messengers of Allaah before Prophet Muhammad have died meaning Jesus Isa died 2000 years ago because the messenger of Allaah before Prophet Muhammad is Prophet Jesus Isa who lived and died a natural death 2000 years ago. Allaah raises the soul to heaven not the human body. The soul is alive in heaven without a human body and without the need for food. The human body is only needed on this earth. The soul without the body for Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa are in heaven waiting for the Day of Resurrection which will come in the hereafter on a new earth after the end of this earth, the sun, the moon, the stars and the universe meaning the Day of Resurrection is after the end of this first creation. After the Day of Resurrection and Judgement the new physical human body will eat food in the hereafter only for enjoyment in Paradise Jannah and only for punishment in Hell Jahannam). (Even now when) We (Allaah) make the revelations clear for them (that Jesus Isa is not Allaah but a human by showing that the soul of Jesus Isa was raised up to Allaah like every human soul is raised up to Allaah by the angel of death) see how they (some among the Christians who believe Jesus Isa is Allaah) are deluded (in thinking that Jesus Isa is more than a human messenger. Moses Musa describes all the messengers who will come after him including Jesus Isa in Taurat Torah Deuteronomy 18:15 – 18:22. Jesus Isa never said "I am Allaah" or "worship me" or "I am a Trinity" in the Gospel of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John and that is why such beliefs are called "deluded" meaning they are not true because they are opposite to what Jesus Isa is teaching in all the Gospels Injils that were with the Christians 1400 years ago and are still with them today and will be with them until the Day of Judgement as proof that Jesus Isa never claimed he was Allaah and as proof Jesus Isa told people to pray not to him but to Allaah and worship not him but worship Allaah. What some people think Jesus Isa said is opposite to the meaning of the words of Jesus Isa which are recorded in all the Gospels Injils and this is why it is said that some Christians 1400 years ago had deluded ideas meaning untrue ideas that Jesus Isa was more than a human or that he was Allaah or that he was a partner with Allaah in a Trinity. Jesus Isa was a human who died like every human before him had died and whose soul was raised up to Allaah to be in Allaah's care like the soul of every human is raised up after death to be in Allaah's care. The meaning of Quran 5:75 is that Jesus Isa died 2000 years ago like every human messenger of Allaah had died before him as proof to the people in his time that Jesus is not Allaah or a partner with Allaah but only a human servant who delivered the message of Allaah. The natural death of Prophet Jesus Isa 2000 years ago when Jesus Isa was raised up to Allaah by the angel of death in Quran 3:144, Quran 5:75, Quran 5:117 and Quran 39:42 is confirmed in the Injils of Isa the Gospels of Jesus by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John which is with the Christians today as proof of the truthfulness of the Quran in the Gospel of Mark 16:19, the Gospel of Luke 24:51 and the last report of the life of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew 28:20 and the Gospel of John 21:25 which all show that Jesus lived his life on this earth after the crucifixion teaching the people that he is not Allaah saying "Allaah is my Father and your Father" meaning Allaah is my creator and your creator and teaching the people "Allaah is my Allaah and your Allaah" meaning Allaah is my master and your master meaning Allaah is my Lord and your Lord in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 until his natural death 2000 years ago in Judea today in Israel and Palestine).
Note 1. In Quran 5:75 "they used to eat food" means Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa are dead.
Gospel of Matthew 17:6 And when they heard this, the disciples fell on their faces, and were extremely frightened.
Gospel of Matthew 17:7 And Jesus approached them, and after touching them reassuringly, he said, "Stand up, and do not be afraid."
Gospel of Matthew 17:8 And when they opened their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus himself alone.
Gospel of Matthew 17:9 And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus was admonishing them, as follows: "Do not tell anyone about the vision, until such time the Son of Man is raised from the dead."
Comment:
Jesus believes that Jesus will be killed even thought Peter said that Allaah willing Jesus will not be killed.
See Gospel of Matthew 16:21 – 16:25.
Gospel of Matthew 17:10 And the disciples queried him, as follows, "So why do the Torah scholars say that Elijah has to come first?"
Gospel of Matthew 17:11 In answer, he said, "Elijah does indeed come first, and will restore all things.
Gospel of Matthew 17:12 But I am telling you, that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did with him whatever they wished."
Comment:
1. What does “Elijah has indeed come” mean?
How is John the Baptist related to Prophet Elijah?
How is John the Baptiser related to Elijah?
How is John the Baptizer related to Elijah?
Elijah is the prophet that the children of Israel believe will indicate the coming of the Messiah.
The promised messiah in Tanakh Jewish scripture is named David.
1. The messiah David comes after the last war in Zechariah 12:1-14 not before the last war.
2. The last war is between Israel and Gog.
3. After this war all Israel will repent together to Allaah as a nation in Isaiah 59:20.
4. Then comes Prophet Elijah together with Judah and the lost tribes of Israel on the Day of Resurrection before the great and awesome Day of Judgement in Malachi 3:23 or Malachi 4:5 in a Christian Bible and everyone will repent on the Day of Resurrection in Malachi 3:24 or Malachi 4:6 in a Christian Bible.
5. Then comes the messiah king David on the Day of Judgement in Isaiah 2:4, Hosea 3:5 and Daniel 7:13 and everyone who followed his example by repenting for their sins and corrected their behaviour will be saved by Allaah in Psalm 32:5, Psalm 51:17-19 or Psalm 51:15-17 in a Christian Bible, Ezekiel 18:21-23, 1 Kings 3:14, 1 Kings 11:38 and 2 Kings 22:2 meaning Allaah will judge who was sincere in their repentance when they were living before the Day of Resurrection so that they might live forever and not be destroyed in Daniel 12:2.
Gospel of Matthew 17:13 Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Baptizer.

1-3. The twenty fourth sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15.
Just as Jesus prayed to Allaah to forgive his sins so did the next prophet after Jesus also pray to Allaah to forgive his sins.
See Gospel of Matthew 17:17, 26:24, 26:28 and 27:5 comments.

Comment:
How could Jesus heal a child from lunacy?
Allaah gave Jesus the power of miracles as a sign to show that Jesus was a truthful prophet, messenger and messiah sent by Allaah.
Gospel of Matthew 17:19 At that time, the disciples came to him in private, and said, "Why were we not able to drive it out?"

Comment:
Jesus told his disciples they lacked faith.
Gospel of Matthew 17:21 But this kind does not come out without prayer and fasting.
Comment:
The DRP verse notes that fasting does not appear in all the manuscripts.
(Maybe those who find faith difficult might fast as a way to build their faith).
Gospel of Matthew 17:22 And when they were gathering back together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of human beings,
Comment:
What does “The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of human beings” mean?
The human named Jesus is about to be betrayed into the hands of other humans.
This means that Jesus will be leaving his disciples because Jesus will be in the hands of other humans.
Gospel of Matthew 17:23 and they will kill him, and during the third day he will rise again." And they were very sad.
Comment:
Jesus believes that Jesus will be killed even thought Peter said that “Allaah willing Jesus will not be killed.”
In the same way and for the same purpose that Allaah stopped the killing of Isaac in the sacrifice, Allaah had also not willed that Jesus be killed as shown three days after the crucifixion when Jesus was seen alive.
See Gospel of Matthew 16:21 – 16:25.

Gospel of Matthew 18:11 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.
Comments:
1. What does “the Son of Man” mean?
Son of Man means human.
Jesus is human.
The Gospel is the story of one human named Jesus.
The Gospel is the story of one Son of Man named Jesus.
In the Jewish Hebrew Bible the Son of Man always means a human.

2. What does “Jesus came to seek and save what was lost” mean?
Allaah sent Jesus as the messiah to bring peace in religion which would save the people and their Second House of Allaah in Jerusalem, Al-Quds.
The last time peace in religion had been lost and replaced by arrogance Allaah destroyed the First House of Allaah.
Jesus seeked those among the children of Israel who had lost Allaah because of their wrong doing.
Jesus showed those among the children of Israel who had lost Allaah the path to righteousness so that they may benefit from the mercy of Allaah on the Day of Judgement.

3. The twenty seventh sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15.
The next prophet after Jesus confirmed that when the peace which Jesus delivered was arrogantly rejected Allaah then destroyed the Second House of Allaah in Jerusalem, Al-Quds as Allaah had done in an earlier time to the First House of Allaah.
Also see Gospel of Matthew 18:11 and 24:15 comments.
Quran 17:4 Koran 17:4 And We (Allaah) decreed for the Children of Israel in the scripture (the Torah), "Twice you shall commit corruption on earth and you shall reach (the sin of) great arrogance.”
Quran 17:5 Koran 17:5 So when the time for the first of the two (decrees of Allaah) came, We (Allaah) sent Our (Allaah’s) servants whose military power against you (the Children of Israel) penetrated into your homes, and it was a promise (of what would happen and it was) fulfilled.
(Note 1. Quran 17:5 describes the complete destruction of the first Jewish temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds that had been built by King Solomon.
(Note 2. King Solomon (Prophet Solomon) built the first Holy Temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds in the United Kingdom of Israel and Judah (today Israel and Palestine) around 1582 BH (960 BCE, 960 BC) but on 1209 BH (587 BCE 587 BC) the first Holy Temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds in the kingdom of Judah today in Israel and Palestine was destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar of the Babylonian Empire today in Iraq.
The first Jewish Holy Temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds in the kingdom of Judah was burned to the ground and the Jews were taken as slaves to Babylon today in Iraq.
This was the fall of the Southern Kingdom of Judah.
The result of adopting idol worship and corruption was that the 12 nations of the children of Israel disappeared from what is today Israel and Palestine and the children of Israel were taken as slaves to Babylon and some migrated to Egypt.
(Note 3. In Quran 17:4 Allaah gives the reason for the destruction of the first and the second Jewish temples in Jerusalem, Al-Quds).
(Note 4. Arrogance is the pride in humans that makes them think that they do not need Allaah so they forget Allaah and they think only about them selves.
Arrogance is over confidence in humans and neglect of Allaah.
Arrogance leads to rejecting the messengers of Allaah.
Arrogance leads to idol worship.
Quran 17:6 Koran 17:6 Then We (Allaah) again gave you (the Children of Israel) victory against them (your enemies) and helped you with wealth and children and increased population.
(Note 1. The second Jewish Temple was re-built by 1137 BH (515 BCE 515 BC) on the site where the first Jewish Temple had been destroyed in Jerusalem, Al-Quds today Israel and Palestine.
Prophet Ezra made the second return of Jewish exiles from Babylon today in Iraq to Jerusalem, Al-Quds in 1080 BH (458 BCE, 458 BC) and Prophet Ezra helped to rebuild Jerusalem, Al-Quds and teach the Torah).
Quran 17:7 Koran 17:7 (And Allaah said), “If you do good then it is good for yourselves, and if you do evil then it is (evil) for yourselves.” So, when the time for the second (promise) came (Allaah sent your enemies) to sadden your faces by entering the (second Jewish) Temple (in Jerusalem, Al-Quds) just as they (your previous enemies had) entered it (the first Jewish temple that they destroyed) the first time, by conquering you (again) with (another enemy who brought) the total destruction (of the second Jewish temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds in Judea today in Israel and Palestine).
(Note 1. Quran 17:7 describes the complete destruction of the second Jewish temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds in Judea today in Israel and Palestine).
(Note 2. What happened 540 years before the time of Prophet Muhammad?
Prophet Jesus was on the cross on 607 BH (Friday 3 April 33 CE, Friday 3 April 33 AD) around 540 years before the time of Prophet Muhammad.
This is the date from astronomical calculations for the Lunar Moon eclipse that caused the blood red Moon colour called “the Moon of blood” that was reported to have occurred on the day of the crucifixion of three men on 3 crosses in Jerusalem (Al-Quds).
Prophet Jesus came as a warner from Allaah to the children of Israel saying, “Do not use the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds for money making activities, the Holy Temple is only for the sincere worship of Allaah.”
Did the leaders of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds correct their sin or did they want to kill Jesus?
Were the leaders of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds interested in earthy matters or were they interested in Allaah?
Prophet Jesus (Isa) was telling them that the way they behaved showed that the leaders of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem (Al-Quds) loved earthy matters more than they loved Allaah).
(Note 3. The Roman empire destroyed the second Jewish Holy Temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds in Judea by burning it to the ground on 569 BH (70 CE, 70 AD) on the Hebrew day and month of the 9th of Av.
The first Jewish Holy Temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds had also been destroyed on the same Hebrew day and month of the 9th of Av.
This was 37 years after Prophet Jesus left the earth and around 500 years before the time of Prophet Muhammad.
The second Jewish Holy Temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds was destroyed on the same day and month of the destruction of the first Jewish Holy Temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds.
(Note 4. Only part of the western wall of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem (Al-Quds) remains today.
Part of the Western Wall survived the destruction of the second Jewish temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds.
The Western Wall of the Temple grounds is also called the Wailing Wall, Crying Wall, Kotel, Kotel HaMaaravi, Al-Buraq Wall.
The Western Wall would have been one of the signs among the ruins of the destroyed Jewish Temple that existed on the night when Allaah took Prophet Muhammad in the miracle journey from Mecca, Arabia (today in Saudi Arabia) to Jerusalem, Al-Quds, Palestine (today in Israel and Palestine).
In Quran 17:1 Allaah says Prophet Muhammad was shown the signs of Allaah at the blessed site so the Western Wall would have been among the signs buried in the ruins.
Quran 17:8 Koran 17:8 (Then Allaah said), “It may be that your Lord (Allaah) shall have mercy on you (the Children of Israel), but if you repeat (the sin of arrogance) We (Allaah) shall repeat (the punishment), and We (Allaah) have appointed hell as the home (in the hereafter) for the disbelievers.”
(Note 1. Allaah warns the Children of Israel that they shall receive mercy for doing what is good and they shall receive punishment if they are arrogant).
(Note 2. A Jewish rebellion defeated the famous Roman 12th Army legion and the children of Israel established the independent Government of Israel from 505 – 502 BH (132 – 135 CE, 132 – 135 AD) around 440 years before the time of Prophet Muhammad. They produced coins marked “First Year of the Deliverance of Israel and Second Year of the Deliverance of Israel” but they were defeated 3 years later by Roman forces who then restricted Jewish access to Jerusalem, Al-Quds.
Jews were exiled and they immigrated to foreign lands.
Judea and the whole region was renamed Syria Palestina by the Roman Empire.
(Note 3. The Romans allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem, Al-Quds in the Roman province of Syria Palestina in 268 BH (362 CE, 362 AD) around 210 years before the time of Prophet Muhammad.
(Note 4. Third Jewish Temple project in Jerusalem, Al-Quds in Syria Palestina today Israel and Palestine.
In 267 BH (363 CE, 363 AD) around 210 years before Prophet Muhammad, the children of Israel with the permission of the Roman Emperor Flavius Claudius Julianus, started to clear the foundations of the destroyed second Holy Temple on the Temple Mount to build the third Holy Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds in Syria Palestina today Israel and Palestine but loud explosions and fire come from out of the ground.
The children of Israel understood those underground gas explosions as the anger of Allaah and so the project to build the third Holy Temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds in Syria Palestina today Israel and Palestine was abandoned.
Jews again immigrated to foreign lands.
(Note 5. In the time of Prophet Muhammad 53 BH – 11 AH (571 – 632 CE, 571 – 632 AD) the children of Israel were scattered in every country of the Middle East.
Some Jews lived in the region of Arabia, today Saudi Arabia where Prophet Muhammad preached the revelations from Allaah.
Most trade between Arabia was through a camel caravan road to Syria which was another foreign country where the children of Israel had also established themselves as traders.
(Note 6. After Prophet Jesus left the Earth the Second House of Allaah was destroyed.
What was experienced by Prophet Jesus was also experienced by Prophet Muhammad in that most of the children of Israel did not believe the revelations from Allaah in the Gospel or in the Quran.
Both Prophet Jesus and Prophet Muhammad came to correct the people in their worship of Allaah and warn of Allaah’s punishment.
After Prophet Jesus left the earth the children of Israel lost the second Holy Temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds and their Judea homeland today Israel and Palestine.
(Note 7. After Prophet Muhammad left the earth the children of Israel lost their adopted Arabian homeland (today Saudi Arabia).
This continuous rebellion throughout history against Allaah by the children of Israel is confirmed in the Torah Deuteronomy 9:24 where Prophet Moses said to the children of Israel, “You have been rebellious against the Lord (Allaah) from the (very first) day that I knew you”.
Prophet Jesus and Prophet Muhammad experienced the same rebellion against Allaah that Prophet Moses had found.
(Note 8. Where ever and when ever their was disbelief in Allaah that required new correction among the children of Israel Allaah has raised prophets including Prophet Moses, Prophet Jesus and Prophet Muhammad to be a guiding light for those who believe in Allaah.
Allaah kept His (Allaah’s) promise to guide the children of Israel through Allaah’s messengers and prophets.
(Note 9. After Prophet Muhammad left the Earth Allaah gave the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, Al-Quds in Palestine today Israel and Palestine to a new people.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount.
Allaah showed Allaah’s blessing for what Prophet Muhammad had revealed to the world when 73 years after the death of Prophet Muhammad the Al-Aqsa Mosque al-Masjid al-Aqsa, the farthest mosque, Bayt al-Muqaddas was established in 85 AH (705 CE, 705 AD), on the Holy Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Al-Quds in Palestine today Israel and Palestine where Allaah’s first and second Jewish Temples had stood but had long before been destroyed.
Al-Masjid al-Aqsa (al-Aqsa Mosque) in Al-Quds (Palestine) and Jerusalem (Israel) is built on the site where the second Jewish Temple had been destroyed by the Roman Empire.
Only Allaah had the power to allow the construction of Al-Masjid al-Aqsa (al-Aqsa Mosque) which is a house for the worship of Allaah on Allaah’s blessed land as a sign of Allaah’s will to all who worship Allaah.
Jerusalem, Al-Quds in Palestine today in Israel and Palestine is mentioned as the distant place of worship in Quran 17:1, it was distant from Mecca, Arabia today Saudi Arabia.
Quran 17:1 Koran 17:1 Exalted is He (Allaah) who took His (Allaah’s) servant (Prophet Muhammad in a miracle journey) by night from the sacred place of worship (the Kabah in Mecca, Arabia today Saudi Arabia) to the distant place of worship (the ruins of the second Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds, Palestine, today in Israel and Palestine that had been destroyed by the Roman Empire and) whose surroundings We (Allaah) have blessed, (Prophet Muhammad was taken here) to show him Our (Allaah’s) signs. He (Allaah) is the all-hearing and the all-seeing.
(Note 10. The children of Israel were scattered by Allaah to every country on the earth where they lived for more than 1500 years until in 1367 AH (1948, 1948 CE, 1948 AD) around 1300 years after the time of Prophet Muhammad when the children of Israel again became one nation called Israel.
Quran 17:8 Koran 17:8 (The mercy of Allaah was on the children of Israel when Allaah chose them from among all the people in the world 1800 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 44:32 and gave the children of Israel the Holy land of Canaan today Israel and Palestine in Quran 5:20 – 5:21 where the children of Israel built the First Temple of Allaah in Jerusalem Al-Quds 1500 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 34:13. After Allaah explains the destruction of the first Jewish Temple of Allaah in Jerusalem Al-Quds 1150 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 17:4 – 17:5 then came the mercy of Allaah which again established the Jews and the second Jewish Temple of Allaah in Jerusalem Al-Quds 1080 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 17:6 followed by the destruction of the second Temple of Allaah in Jerusalem Al-Quds 500 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 17:7. Then Allaah through Prophet Muhammad foretold the future), “It may be that your Lord (Allaah) shall have mercy on you (which happened when the children of Israel the Jews the Hebrews were returned to Jerusalem Al-Quds 1300 years after the death of Prophet Muhammad as foretold in Quran 17:8), but if you repeat (the sin of arrogance) We (Allaah) shall repeat (the punishment), and We (Allaah) have appointed Hell Jahannam as the home (in the hereafter) for the disbelievers.”

Gospel of Matthew 18:12 What do you think? Suppose a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them is lost. Will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountain, and go look for the one that is wandering?
Comment:
What does “Suppose a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them is lost. Will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountain, and go look for the one that is wandering” mean?
If one of the children of Israel has lost Allaah because he is doing wrong would you not leave the other members of the children of Israel to help the one who is lost?
Gospel of Matthew 15:24 “…"I (Jesus) was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
Gospel of Matthew 18:13 And if he happens to find it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than the ninety-nine that were not lost.
Comment:
What is “if he happens to find it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than the ninety-nine that were not lost” means?
If one member of the children of Israel is successfully guided to correct their wrong doing then the Sheppard rejoices more than the joy he has for all the righteous who needed no guidance.
Gospel of Matthew 15:24 “…"I (Jesus) was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
Gospel of Matthew 18:14 That is how undesirable it is, in the eyes of your Father in heaven, that even one of these little ones be lost.
Comments:
1. What does “That is how undesirable it is, in the eyes of your Father (Allaah) in heaven, that even one of these little ones be lost” means?
For Allaah any person among the children of Israel who is willing to accept guidance to humbleness and modesty and guidance away from wrong doing must be assisted.
Gospel of Matthew 15:24 “…"I (Jesus) was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
2. Why has Allaah decreed guidance for the children of Israel?
When the punishment of Allaah falls on the Second House of Allaah in Jerusalem, Al-Quds in Judea every member of the children of Israel will have either accepted or rejected the guidance of the messenger of Allaah or his disciples and their response will be shown to them on the Day of Judgment as evidence that Allaah’s judgement of them is correct.
Gospel of Matthew 15:24 “…"I (Jesus) was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
Gospel of John 16:11 and (Allaah is sending another comforter, counselor, prophet and messenger after Jesus to explain the word of Allaah) concerning judgement, because the ruler of this world (Satan) has been judged (by Allaah as evil and therefore whoever follows Satan shall be judged in the Hereafter as evil but whoever rejected evil and followed Allaah and Jesus who 2000 years ago was the messenger of Allaah who delivered the Gospel shall be among the righteous in the hereafter).
2-1. Before Jesus Allaah sent Moses 3200 years ago.
The ruler of this world (Satan) has been judged (by Allaah as evil and therefore whoever follows Satan shall be judged in the Hereafter as evil but whoever rejected evil and followed Allaah and Moses who 3200 years ago was the messenger of Allaah who delivered the Torah shall be among the righteous in the hereafter).
2-2. After Jesus Allaah sent Muhammad 1400 years ago.
The ruler of this world (Satan) has been judged (by Allaah as evil and therefore whoever follows Satan shall be judged in the Hereafter as evil but whoever rejected evil and followed Allaah and Muhammad who 1400 years ago was the messenger of Allaah who delivered the Quran shall be among the righteous in the hereafter).
2-3. How is Satan the ruler of this world?
Allaah tests every human including Jesus with Satan (the devil).
Those who obey Satan fail the test of life that Allaah has given.
Those who reject Satan pass the test of life that Allaah has given.
3. The twenty eighth sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15.
The next prophet after Jesus showed the children of Israel that Jesus was a messenger from Allaah because Allaah never punished until Allaah has sent a messenger to warn the people.
Who gave warnings before the destruction of the second House of Allaah in Jerusalem, Al-Quds, Judea today in Israel and Palestine?
See Gospel of Matthew 18:14, 21:12, 21:13 and 21:43 comments.
Quran 17:15 Koran 17:15 Whoever is guided (correctly) is guided for (the good of) their soul and whoever is misguided (away from Allaah) is a guidance that hurts (their soul). No soul can bear the responsibilities of another soul. And We (Allaah) never punish until We (Allaah) have sent a messenger (to warn the people).
(Note 1. Allaah never punished until Allaah has sent a messenger to warn the people.
Who was the messenger before the destruction of the second House of Allaah in Jerusalem, Al-Quds, Judea today in Israel and Palestine?
Who warned the children of Israel in the Second House of Allaah to follow the correct path of Allaah?
A brother who sins.
Gospel of Matthew 18:15 Now if your brother sins [against you], go show him his fault, just between you and him. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother.
Gospel of Matthew 18:16 But if he does not listen, take with you one or two others, so that 'upon the mouths of two or three witnesses every matter be established.'
Gospel of Matthew 18:17 And if he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. And if he refuses to listen to the assembly, he should be considered by you as no different than a gentile or a revenue agent.

2. The nineteenth sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15.
The disciples of Jesus are not the next comforter after Jesus.
The Holy Spirit is not the next comforter after Jesus.
See Gospel of Matthew 16:19, 18:18 and 18:19 comments.
2-1. The disciples of Jesus are not the next prophet after Jesus.
The disciples of Jesus are not the next prophet after Jesus because the Gospel of Matthew 16:17 revealed that the Holy Spirit was in both Jesus and Peter during the life of Jesus but the Gospel of John 16:7 reveals that the comforter shall not come until Jesus departs therefore none of the disciples of Jesus is the next prophet or comforter after Jesus because the Holy Spirit had already come and was already with Jesus and Peter see Gospel of Matthew 16:17 comments.
Gospel of Matthew 16:17 And Jesus in response said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because it was not flesh and blood that revealed this to you, but my Father, who is in heaven.
(Note 1. This knowledge was not revealed to you by any human but the knowledge of who Jesus is was revealed to your heart by Allaah.
The way Allaah revealed knowledge to Peter is the same way that Allaah revealed knowledge to Jesus.
Knowledge was revealed by Allaah to both Jesus and Peter through the Holy Spirit.
Gospel of John 16:7 Nevertheless I (Jesus) tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I (Prophet Jesus) go away because if I do not go away then the Comforter shall not come to you (humans) but if I depart then I shall send him to you (humans, because Allaah has decreed that the next prophet cannot come until Jesus has departed from the Earth).
2-2. The comforter is the next prophet after Jesus.
Peter and the other disciples of Jesus are not the next prophet after Jesus because the Gospel of Matthew 16:17 revealed that the Holy Spirit was in both Jesus and Peter during the life of Jesus therefore the comforter is not the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit was already in Peter during the life of Jesus.
Gospel of Matthew 16:17 And Jesus in response said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because it was not flesh and blood that revealed this to you, but my Father, who is in heaven.
(Note 1. This knowledge was not revealed to you by any human but the knowledge of who Jesus is was revealed to your heart by Allaah.
The way Allaah revealed knowledge to Peter is the same way that Allaah revealed knowledge to Jesus.
Knowledge was revealed by Allaah to both Jesus and Peter through the Holy Spirit.
Gospel of John 16:7 Nevertheless I (Jesus) tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I (Prophet Jesus) go away because if I do not go away then the Comforter shall not come to you (humans) but if I depart then I shall send him to you (humans, because Allaah has decreed that the next prophet cannot come until Jesus has departed from the Earth).
2-3. The comforter is not the Holy Spirit.
The Gospel of Matthew 16:17 shows that the Holy spirit was already in Peter and Jesus in the time of Jesus.
In the Gospel of John 16:7 Jesus said “if I do not go away then the Comforter shall not come to you (humans)” therefore the Holy Spirit which was already in Peter and in Jesus cannot be the comforter.
Gospel of Matthew 16:17 And Jesus in response said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because it was not flesh and blood that revealed this to you, but my Father, who is in heaven.
(Note 1. This knowledge was not revealed to you by any human but the knowledge of who Jesus is was revealed to your heart by Allaah.
The way Allaah revealed knowledge to Peter is the same way that Allaah revealed knowledge to Jesus.
Knowledge was revealed by Allaah to both Jesus and Peter through the Holy Spirit.
Gospel of John 16:7 Nevertheless I (Jesus) tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I (Prophet Jesus) go away because if I do not go away then the Comforter shall not come to you (humans) but if I depart then I shall send him to you (humans, because Allaah has decreed that the next prophet cannot come until Jesus has departed from the Earth).
2-4. The Holy Spirit reveals the will of Allaah to the human heart.
Just as the Holy Spirit revealed the will of Allaah to Jesus and to Peter and to other disciples of Jesus in the same way the Holy Spirit would reveal the word of Allaah to the next prophet after Jesus.
Gospel of John 16:13 When he (the Comforter with), the Spirit of truth (sent by Allaah) has come he shall guide you to all truth because he shall not speak of himself but whatever he shall hear (from Allaah through the Holy Spirit), (that) is what he (the Comforter) shall speak and he (the Comforter) shall show you things to come.
3. What does “whatever you declare to be forbidden on earth shall have been forbidden in heaven, and whatever you declare to be permitted on earth shall have been permitted in heaven” means?
This means the disciples of Jesus who follow the teachings of Jesus will be guided by Allaah.
Gospel of Matthew 18:19 Again I say to you, if two of you on earth agree with one voice concerning any and all matters about which you make request, it will be brought about for you by my Father who is in heaven.
Comments:

The disciples of Jesus are not the next comforter after Jesus.
The Holy Spirit is not the next comforter after Jesus.
See Gospel of Matthew 16:19, 18:18 and 18:19 comments.
The next comforter after Jesus is not one of the disciples of Jesus.
Gospel of Matthew 18:19 Again I say to you, if two of you on earth agree with one voice concerning any and all matters about which you make request, it will be brought about for you by my Father (Allaah) who is in heaven.
(Note 1. If two of the disciples agree on a matter then Allaah shall make it happen. This is not the next prophet or comforter after Jesus because the disciples where already doing miracles in the time of Jesus).
Gospel of John 16:7 Nevertheless I (Jesus) tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I (Prophet Jesus) go away because if I do not go away then the Comforter shall not come to you (humans) but if I depart then I shall send him to you (humans, because Allaah has decreed that the next prophet cannot come until Jesus has departed from the Earth).
Gospel of Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Comment:
1. What does “there am I in the midst of them” mean?
If you gather and follow the revelation of any prophet then that prophet is with you because you are following the words of that prophet.
If you gather and follow the revelation of any prophet then Allaah is with you because you are following the words of a prophet of Allaah.
The parable of the unmerciful servant.
Gospel of Matthew 18:21 At that time Peter approached and said to him, "Lord, how many times shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?"
Gospel of Matthew 18:22 Jesus says to him, "I tell you, not up to seven times, but up to seventy [times] seven times.
Gospel of Matthew 18:23 "Therefore, the kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man in ruling power who desired to settle accounts with his servants.
Comment:
What is the kingdom of heaven?
The kingdom of Allaah is the same as the kingdom of heaven.
The kingdom of heaven is the same as the kingdom of Allaah.
See The Gospel of Mark 1:14-1:15 (kingdom of Allaah) and The Gospel of Matthew 4:17 (kingdom of Heaven).
See The Gospel of Mark 4:30-4:31 (kingdom of Allaah) and The Gospel of Matthew 13:31 (kingdom of Heaven).

Gospel of Matthew 18:26 "The servant therefore fell down, and was entreating him, saying, 'Be patient with me, and I will pay you back everything.'
Gospel of Matthew 18:27 And moved with compassion, the master of that servant released him, and forgave his debt.
Gospel of Matthew 18:28 "But then after he went out, that servant found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii, and he seized him, and was choking him, saying, 'Pay me back everything you owe.'
Comment:

Denarii is a Roman silver coin.
Gospel of Matthew 18:29 "The fellow servant therefore fell down, and was begging him, saying, 'Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.'
Gospel of Matthew 18:30 But he was not willing, and went and threw him into the debtors' prison, until such time he could pay back the debt.
Gospel of Matthew 18:31 "When therefore his fellow servants witnessed these events, they were extremely upset, and went and reported to their master everything that had happened.
Gospel of Matthew 18:32 Then summoning him, his master is saying to him, 'You wicked servant! All that debt of yours I forgave you, because you begged me.
Gospel of Matthew 18:33 Aren't you then also obligated to forgive your fellow servant, as I have forgiven you?'
Comments:
1. Humans are required by Allaah to forgive each other just as humans want Allaah to forgive them.
2. The twenty ninth sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15.
The next prophet after Jesus confirmed that humans are required by Allaah to forgive each other just as humans want Allaah to forgive them.

If you pardon what people have done and overlook the faults of people and forgive people then Allaah is forgiving and merciful to you (Quran 39:53, Quran 42:43, Quran 45:14 and Quran 64:14).
1. Allaah forgives you if you forgive others (Quran 39:53, Quran 42:43, Quran 45:14 and Quran 64:14).
2. Love your neighbour (Quran 42:43).
3. Love your enemy (Quran 41:34 – 41:36, Quran 42:43 and Quran 60:7).
4. Forgive your enemy (Quran 41:34 – 41:36 and Quran 42:43. Allaah will forgive even those who mocked Prophet Muhammad and those who plotted to kill Prophet Muhammad if they repent and ask Allaah for forgiveness in Quran 8:30 – 8:33).

12. If you pardon what people have done and overlook the faults of people and forgive people then Allaah is forgiving and merciful to you (Quran 39:53, Quran 45:14 and Quran 64:14).
Quran 64:14 Koran 64:14 All you who believe, Among your wives and your children there are enemies for you (if they try to move you away from Allaah) so beware of them. If you pardon (what people have done) and overlook (the faults of people), and forgive (people) then Allaah is forgiving and merciful (to you).
Quran 5:45 Koran 5:45 (And in the Torah Taurat) We (Allaah) gave all the laws, (taking) the life for the (lost) life, (taking) the eye for the (lost) eye, (taking) the nose for the (lost) nose, (taking) the ear for the (lost) ear, (taking) the tooth for the (lost) tooth, these are the laws of retaliation for giving wounds that are equal to what were unjustly inflicted. Whoever forgoes it (meaning whoever gives the mercy of not retaliating) shall be rewarded by (Allaah) cancelling some of the sins of the person (that had the right to retaliate but did not retaliate but instead they followed in the way of Allaah’s recommended mercy). Whoever does not judge by what Allaah has revealed are wrong doers.
Quran 45:14 Koran 45:14 Say (Prophet Muhammad) to those who believe (that) they (should) forgive those who do not expect the Days of Allaah (in the hereafter, meaning forgive the disbelievers, forgive the non believers, forgive the stone idol worshippers in Mecca, forgive the people who do not believe in Allaah) so that He (Allaah) may reward (the righteous) people for what they earn (in reward for the hereafter by obeying Allaah’s command that the believers among the humans forgive the disbelievers among the humans in this life in the same way that believing humans in this life wish Allaah to forgive the believers in the next life).
(Note: Later verses that Allaah revealed in the Quran during a time of war with stone idol worshippers in Mecca, Arabia today Saudi Arabia do not cancel the revelations Allaah revealed earlier in the Quran just as the verses that Allaah revealed in the Torah during a time of war with stone idol worshippers in Canaan today Israel and Palestine do not cancel the revelations Allaah revealed earlier in the Torah.
All of Allaah’s verses carry a message of wisdom for humankind.
Some verses give guidance in times of war and other verses give guidance in times of peace.
The correct interpretation of each verse in the Books of Allaah gives knowledge and wisdom and guidance to whoever Allaah wills.
Quran 41:34 Koran 41:34 The good deed and the evil deed are not the same (in righteousness in the sight of Allaah). Repel (evil) with a better (deed, for example repel anger with patience and forgiveness), then see (what will happen, Allaah willing) the person with whom you had hostility (hate and bad feelings) shall become like a close friend.
Quran 41:35 Koran 41:35 And it (the goodness in Quran 41:34) is not granted except to those who are patient and have the greatest good fortune (to turn an enemy into a close friend).
Quran 41:36 Koran 41:36 And (as a guide to achieve the good fortune described in Quran 41:34 – 41:35) if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan Shaitan then seek refuge (protection and guidance) with Allaah. He (Allaah) hears and knows (everything).
Quran 42:39 Koran 42:39 (What Allaah has is better and more lasting for those who believe) And those who, when great wrong is done to them, defend themselves -
Quran 42:40 Koran 42:40 By the payment for (receiving) an evil by way of (giving) a similar evil like it (back in retaliation), but whoever forgives (the evil that was done to them) and makes reconciliation then their reward (for such a righteous deed) shall come from Allaah. He (Allaah) does not like the wrongdoers –
Quran 42:41 Koran 42:41 And there is no blame (guilt) against whoever defends them self after they have suffered a wrong –
Quran 42:42 Koran 42:42 The blame (guilt) is only against those who oppress (subjugate, conquer) people and wrongly rebel (wrongly oppose government authority) on the earth, for them shall be a painful punishment (in the Hereafter) –
Quran 42:43 Koran 42:43 And whoever shows patience and forgives (a bad deed that was done to them) is a matter to be resolved (with a reward to them from Allaah because instead of fulfilling their desire for revenge they followed the path of forgiveness and reconciliation that is recommended in Quran 42:40 and Quran 2:178 and Quran 17:33) by Allaah.
Quran 2:178 Koran 2:178 All you who believe, the Law of equal punishment (legal retribution, legal justice) is prescribed for you for those murdered, ……” But if the killer is forgiven (pardoned) by his “injured brother” (“injured brother” means the inheritors of the killed man that has the right to punish or pardon) then grant any reasonable demand and compensate him (the injured brother) well (with blood money or another way) and with good conduct (honourably, with gratitude, with fairness, without delay and without fraud), this is a concession and a mercy from your Lord (Allaah). After this whoever exceeds the limits (of the law, for example, if there is another killing after the pardon or after the compensation agreement is completed) then there shall be a painful punishment (in the hereafter).
Quran 17:33 Koran 17:33 And do not kill anyone that Allaah has forbidden, except what is legal. And whoever is killed unjustly (not by mistake), We (Allaah) have given his heir the authority (for legal action to demand the law of equal punishment or to forgive or to take blood money as compensation). But do not allow him (the injured brother) to exceed the limits in the matter of taking life (meaning, no one can be killed except the killer). Indeed he (his heir) is helped (by the law and those who administer the court of law).
Quran 42:43 Koran 42:43 And whoever shows patience and forgives (a bad deed that was done to them) is a matter to be resolved (with a reward to them from Allaah because instead of fulfilling their desire for revenge they followed the path of forgiveness and reconciliation that is recommended in Quran 42:40 and Quran 2:178 and Quran 17:33) by Allaah.
Gospel of Matthew 18:34 "And in anger, his master handed him over to the jailers, until such time he could pay back everything he owed.
Gospel of Matthew 18:35 This is how my Father in heaven will act toward you also, unless you each forgive your brother from your heart."

2. The twenty ninth sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15.
The next prophet after Jesus confirmed that humans are required by Allaah to forgive each other just as humans want Allaah to forgive them.

Quran 64:14 Koran 64:14 All you who believe, Among your wives and your children there are enemies for you (if they try to move you away from Allaah) so beware of them.
