Peace be upon you,
I want to prove to you that Jesus is not the person who was on the cross and from the Bible.
• John (20:13) They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.”
In next verse, the woman who was searching for Jesus was in fact standing beside him and speaking to him, yet she was unable to recognize that he is Jesus.
• John (20:14) Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus.
In next verse, the woman could not recognize Jesus and thought he is the gardener. The question here is how it could be possible that a woman who knew Jesus for many years and was standing face to face with him could not recognize him and thought he is the gardener. The answer is that Jesus was disguised. He was dressing like the gardener and was covering his face with a scarf like the scarf of the gardener. Why Jesus was disguised? Because he was afraid that they want to kill him.
However, Christians disagree that Jesus was disguised as a gardener because the Bible does not say that. Christians believe that the reason that this lady was unable to recognize Jesus was that this was a miracle from God. Although the Bible does not say that Jesus was “disguised”, but it's easy to conclude this because the lady thought he is the gardener, therefore, he was dressed like a gardener.
She also told him “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him”. Please pay attention to “have carried him”, why she said “carried him” because she heard that they crucified Jesus and he is dead, that why she said, “carried him”. We only carry dead people because people who are alive can walk.
• John (20:15) Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”
In next verse, the man she could not recognize that he is Jesus called her by her name, he ONLY said to her “Mary”. The minute Jesus spoke, she immediately recognized him that he is Jesus. She was astonished to discover that he is Jesus and alive. Please pay attention that she called him “TEACHER”, she did not call him “LORD”.
• John (20:16) Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher).
In next verse, Jesus instructed the woman not to touch him. This is because in Islam a man is not allowed to touch a foreign woman other than his wife, mother, sister, daughter, niece, aunt, or grandmother.
Jesus told her that he did not ascend unto God yet. This is to prove that the person who was on the cross was not Jesus because the lady was looking for a dead Jesus because she heard that they crucified him while she discovered that he was alive. Also, pay attention that Jesus said “my God and your God” which means that Jesus is not God.
• John (20:17) Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.
Quran says that Jesus was not the person who was placed on the cross but his enemy. God puts the look of Jesus unto this man and everyone assumed that this man is Jesus and they crucified him.
• Quran (4:157) and for their saying: We killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the Messenger of God. And they killed him not, nor they crucified him. Rather, a likeness to him of another was shown to them. And, truly, those who were at variance in it are in uncertainty about it. There is no knowledge with them about it but they are pursuing an opinion. And they for certain killed him not.
There is another proof in the Bible that the person who was on the cross was NOT Jesus. God said in Isaiah that His servant will cry or raise his voice in the street
• Isaiah (42:1-2) Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets.
Bu the person who was on the cross cried and raised his voice in the street. This is ample proof that he was not Jesus.
• Matthew (27:46) About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).
I invite you to read Quran to discover the truth.
Regards,
