Prophet Isa(Alaihi salaam) part 9 :
A) The Jews Plot to Kill Isa(alaihi salaam) :
Isa(Alaihi salaam) went on his mission until vice(wrong doers) knew that its throne was threatening to fall. So the forces of evil accused him of magic, infringement(violation) of the Mosaic Law, allegiance with the devil; and when they saw that the poor people followed him, they began to scheme against him.The Sanhedrin, the highest judicial and ecclesiastical(priests) council of the Jews, began to meet to plot against Isa(Alaihi salaam). The plan took a new turn. When the Jews failed to stop Isa(Alaihi salaam)' s call, they decided to kill him. The chief priests held secret meetings to agree on the best way of getting rid of Isa(Alaihi salaam).
While they were in such a meeting, one of the twelve apostles of Isa(Alaihi salaam), Judas Iscariot, went to them and asked: "What will you give me if I deliver him to you?" Judas bargained with them until
they agreed to give him thirty pieces of silver known as shekels. The plot was laid for the capture and murder of Isa(Alaihi salaam).It was said that the high priest of the Jews tore his garment at the meeting, claiming that Isa(Alaihi salaam) had denied Judaism. The tearing of clothes at that time was a sign of disgust.
B) The Torture of Isa(Alaihi salaam) :
The priests had no authority to pass the death sentence at that time, so they convinced the Roman governor that Isa(Alaihi salaam) was plotting against the security of the Roman Empire and urged him to take immediate action against him. The governor ordered that Isa(Alaihi salaam) be arrested.According to the Book of Matthew, Isa(Alaihi salaam) was arrested and the council of the high priests passed the death sentence upon him. Then, they began insulting him, spitting on his face and kicking him.It was the Roman custom for the condemned(sentenced) to be flogged(beaten) before they were executed. So Pilate,the Roman governor, ordered that Isa(Alaihi salaam) be flogged.The Mosaic Law stipulates forty lashes, but
the Roman had no limit, and they were brutal lashes. After that,Isa(Alaihi salaam) was handed to the soldiers for crucifixion. They took off his clothes, and kept them. They put a crown of thorns on his head to mock him. According to custom he carried his cross on his back to increase his suffering.
C) Isa(Alaihi salaam)'s Crucifixion - Bible Version :
Finally, they reached a place called Golgotha, meaning the Place of Skulls, outside the walls of Jerusalem. Instead of giving him a cup of wine diluted with scent to help lessen the pain on the cross, the soldiers gave Isa(Alaihi salaam) a cup of vinegar diluted with gall(fruit with bitter pulp). Then they crucified him and, as a further mockery, two thieves with him. So it is written in the Bible.
D) Jesus's Crucifixion :
But the faith of Islam came with views quite different from that of the extend gospels(injeel) with regards to both the end of Isa(Alaihi salaam) and his nature.The Glorious Qur'an affirms that Allah the Exalted did not permit the people of Israel to kill Isa(Alaihi salaam)
or crucify him. What happened was that Allah saved him from his enemies and raised him to heaven. They never killed Isa(Alaihi salaam), they killed someone else.
Allah the Almighty declared: " And because of their saying (in boast), "We killed Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah," but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of Isa (Alaihi salaam) was put over another man (and they killed that man) and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no certain knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture(assumptions). For surely; they killed him not (Jesus, son of Mary): But Allah raised him (Jesus) up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heavens). And Allah is Ever All Powerful, All Wise.And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews & Christians), but must believe in him(Jesus, son of Mary, as only a Messenger of Allah, and a human being), before his (Jesus or a Jew's or a Christian's ) death (at the time of the appearance of the angel of death). And on the Day of Resurrection, he (Jesus) will be a witness against them. ( surah An-Nisa 4:157-159 Quran)
Almighty Allah also revealed:"And remember when Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take you and raise you to Myself and clear you (of the forged(fake) statement that Jesus is Allah's son) of those who disbelieve, and I will make those who follow you (Monotheists, who worship none but Allah ) superior to those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allah, or disbelieve in some of His Messengers, e.g. Muhammad, Jesus, Moses,etc., or in His Holy Books, e.g. the Torah, the Gospel, the Qur'an) till the Day of Resurrection.Then you will return to Me and I will judge between you in the matters in which you used to dispute." (Surah Al-Imran 3:55 Quran).
To be continued,In sha Allah.
