Surah 4:154
Literal
(Word by Word)
And We raised over them the mount for their covenant, and We said to them, "Enter the gate, prostrating." And We said to them. "(Do) not transgress in the Sabbath." And We took from them a covenant solemn.
Who is “them”? The Jews.
Surah 4:155
Literal
(Word by Word)
Then because of their breaking (of) their covenant and their disbelief in (the) Signs (of) Allah and their killing (of) the Prophets without any right and their saying, "Our hearts (are) wrapped." Nay, Allah (has) set a seal on their (hearts) for their disbelief so not they believe except a few.
Who is “their”? The Jews.
Surah 4:156
Literal
(Word by Word)
And for their disbelief and their saying against Maryam a slander great.
Who is “their”? The Jews.
Surah 4:157
Literal
(Word by Word)
And for their saying, "Indeed, we killed the Messiah, Isa, son (of) Maryam, (the) Messenger (of) Allah." And not they killed him and not they crucified him but it was made to appear (so) to them. And indeed, those who differ in it (are) surely in doubt about it. Not for them about it [of] (any) knowledge except (the) following (of) assumption. And not they killed him, certainly.
Who is “their” ; “we”; and “they”? The Jews.
Yusuf Ali (Saudi Rev. 1985)
That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
Shakir
And their saying: Surely we have killed the Messiah, Isa son of Marium, the messenger of Allah; and they did not kill him nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them so (like Isa) and most surely those who differ therein are only in a doubt about it; they have no knowledge respecting it, but only follow a conjecture, and they killed him not for sure.
Surah 4:158
Literal
(Word by Word)
Nay, Allah raised him towards Him. And Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.
It is obvious that Surah 4:157 is speaking of the Jews. The verse is saying that the Jews did not kill the Messiah, nor did the Jews crucify Jesus.
This is correct because it was the Romans who killed and crucified Jesus.
Surah 4:158 is pointing out that Jesus is alive after the Romans killed Him. He resurrected from the dead.
The Qur’an confirms the New Testament’s account of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
