Page 102 - Prophet Jesus (Pbuh): A Prophet Not A Son, Of God

his ascension to God's presence.
Although born in a miraculous fash-
ion, he lived like all other people. Like
them, he came into existence by God saying Be! and,
as a human being, realized his complete dependency
upon God. His human characteristics are described, with vari-

ous examples, in the Qur'an and the New Testament. For example, our
Lord states in Surat al-Ma'ida:75 that Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and Mary ate
food, meaning that they were not angels, but human beings just like
everyone else.
There are many examples of references to Prophet Jesus' (pbuh)
human characteristics in the New Testament. Some of these are as follows:

The birth of Prophet Jesus, his lineage, and family

The New Testament contains several statements about Prophet
Jesus' (pbuh) lineage and birth: He (pbuh) is descended from the line of

Prophet David (pbuh), and was born and raised (in other words, known)
among his people.
He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant
David (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago), salvation from our
enemies and from the hand of all who hate us … (Luke 1:69-71)
A record of the genealogy of Jesus the son of David, the son of Abraham …
(Matthew 1:1-2)

Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent
someone in to call him. (Mark 3:31)
