Chapter
39
Then said John: 'Well hast thou spoken, O master, but we lack to know how man sinned through pride.'
Jesus answered: 'When God has expelled Satan, and the angel Gabriel had purified that mass of earth whereon Satan spat, God created everything that liveth, both of the animals that fly and of them that walk and swim, and he adorned the world with all that it hath. One day Satan approached unto the gates of paradise, and, seeing the horses eating grass, he announced to them that if that mass of earth should receive a soul there would be for them grievous labour; and that therefore it would be to their advantage to trample that piece of earth in such wise that it should be no more good for anything. The horses aroused themselves and impetuously set themselves to run over that piece of earth which lay among lilies and roses.
Whereupon God gave spirit to that unclean portion of earth upon which lay the spittle of Satan, which Gabriel had taken up from the mass; and raised up the dog, who' barking filled the horses with fear, and they fled. Then God gave his soul to man, while all the holy angels sang: 'Blessed be thy holy name, O God our Lord.'
'Adam, having sprung up upon his feet, saw in the air a writing that shone like the sun, which said: "There is only one God, and Mohammed is the messenger of God." Whereupon Adam opened his mouth and said: "I thank thee, O Lord my God, that thou hast deigned to create me; but tell me. I pray thee, what meaneth the message of these words: "Mohammed is messenger of God. Have there been other men before me?"

'Then said God: "Be thou welcome, O my servant Adam. I tell thee that thou art the first man whom I have created And he whom thou hast seen [mentioned] is thy son, who shall come into the world many years hence, and shall be my messenger, for whom I have created all things; who shall give light to the world when he shall come; whose soul was set in a celestial splendour sixty thousand years before I made anything."
'Adam besought God, saying: "Lord, grant me this writing upon the nails of the fingers of my hands." Then God gave to the first man upon his thumbs that writing; upon the thumb-nail of the right hand it said: "There is only one God," and upon the thumb-nail of the left it said: "Mohammed is messenger of God." Then with fatherly affection the first man kissed those words, and rubbed his eyes, and said: "Blessed be that day when thou shalt come to the world."
'Seeing the man alone, God said: "It is not well that he should remain alone." Wherefore he made him to sleep, and took a rib from near his heart, filling the place with flesh. Of that rib made he Eve, and gave her to Adam for his wife. He set the twain of them as lords of Paradise, to whom he said: "Behold I give unto you every fruit to eat, except the apples and the corn" whereof he said: "Beware that in no wise ye eat of these fruits, for ye shall become unclean, insomuch that I shall not suffer you to remain here, but shall drive you forth, and ye shall suffer great miseries."
Chapter 41
'Then
both of them knew that they were naked: wherefore, being ashamed, they
took fig leaves and made a clothing for their secret parts. When midday
was passed, behold God appeared to them, and called Adam, saying: "Adam,
where art thou?"
'He answered: "Lord, I did hide myself from thy presence because I and my wife are naked, and so we are ashamed to present ourselves before thee."
'Then said God: "And who hath robbed you of your innocence, unless ye have eaten the fruit by reason of which ye are unclean, and will not be able to abide longer in paradise?"
'Adam answered: "O Lord, the wife whom thou hast given me besought me to eat, and so I have eaten thereof."
'Then said God to the woman: "Wherefore gavest thou such food to thy husband?"
'Eve answered: "Satan deceived me, and so I did eat."
"'And how did that reprobate enter in hither?" said God.
'Eve answered: "A serpent that standeth at the northern gate brought him near to me."
'Then said God to Adam: "Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife and hast eaten the fruit, cursed be the earth in thy works; it shall bring forth for thee brambles and thorns, and in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread. And remember that thou art earth, and to earth thou return."
'And he spoke to Eve, saying: "And thou who didst hearken to Satan, and gavest the food to thy husband, shalt abide under the dominion of man, who shall keep thee as a slave, and thou shalt bear children with travail."
'And having called the serpent, God called the angel Michael, him who holdeth the sword of God, [and] said: "First drive forth from paradise this wicked serpent, and when outside cut off his legs: for if he shall wish to walk, he must trail his body upon the earth." Afterwards God called Satan, who came laughing, and he said to him: "Because thou, reprobate, hast deceived these and hast made them to become unclean, I will that every uncleanness of them and of all their children, whereof they shall be truly penitent and shall serve me, in going forth from their body shall enter through thy mouth, and so shalt thou be satiated with uncleanness."
'Satan then gave a horrible roar, and said: "Since thou willest to make me ever worse, I yet will make me that which I shall be able!"
'Then said God: "Depart, cursed one, from my presence!"
Then Satan departed; whereupon God said to Adam [and] Eve, who were both weeping: "Go ye forth from paradise, and do penance, and let not your hope fail, for I will send your son in such wise that your seed shall lift the dominion of Satan from off the human race: for he who shall come, my messenger, to him will I give all things."
'God hid himself, and the angel Michael drove them forth from paradise. Whereupon Adam, turning him round, saw written above the gate, "There is only one God, and Mohammed is messenger of God." Whereupon, weeping, he said: "May it be pleasing to God, O my son, that thou come quickly and draw us out of misery."
'And thus,' said Jesus, 'sinned Satan and Adam through pride, the one by despising man, the other by wishing to make himself equal with God.'
'He answered: "Lord, I did hide myself from thy presence because I and my wife are naked, and so we are ashamed to present ourselves before thee."
'Then said God: "And who hath robbed you of your innocence, unless ye have eaten the fruit by reason of which ye are unclean, and will not be able to abide longer in paradise?"
'Adam answered: "O Lord, the wife whom thou hast given me besought me to eat, and so I have eaten thereof."
'Then said God to the woman: "Wherefore gavest thou such food to thy husband?"
'Eve answered: "Satan deceived me, and so I did eat."
"'And how did that reprobate enter in hither?" said God.
'Eve answered: "A serpent that standeth at the northern gate brought him near to me."
'Then said God to Adam: "Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife and hast eaten the fruit, cursed be the earth in thy works; it shall bring forth for thee brambles and thorns, and in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread. And remember that thou art earth, and to earth thou return."
'And he spoke to Eve, saying: "And thou who didst hearken to Satan, and gavest the food to thy husband, shalt abide under the dominion of man, who shall keep thee as a slave, and thou shalt bear children with travail."

'Satan then gave a horrible roar, and said: "Since thou willest to make me ever worse, I yet will make me that which I shall be able!"
'Then said God: "Depart, cursed one, from my presence!"
Then Satan departed; whereupon God said to Adam [and] Eve, who were both weeping: "Go ye forth from paradise, and do penance, and let not your hope fail, for I will send your son in such wise that your seed shall lift the dominion of Satan from off the human race: for he who shall come, my messenger, to him will I give all things."
'God hid himself, and the angel Michael drove them forth from paradise. Whereupon Adam, turning him round, saw written above the gate, "There is only one God, and Mohammed is messenger of God." Whereupon, weeping, he said: "May it be pleasing to God, O my son, that thou come quickly and draw us out of misery."
'And thus,' said Jesus, 'sinned Satan and Adam through pride, the one by despising man, the other by wishing to make himself equal with God.'
Chapter 44
Thereupon said the disciples: 'O master, it is thus written in the book of Moses, that in Isaac was the promise made.'
Jesus answered, with a groan: 'It is so written, but Moses wrote it not, nor Joshua, but rather our rabbins, who fear not God. Verily I say unto you, that if ye consider the words of the angel Gabriel, ye shall discover the malice of our scribes and doctors. For the angel said: "Abraham, all the world shall know how God loveth thee; but how shall the world know the love that thou bearest to God? Assuredly it is necessary that thou do something for love of God." Abraham answered: "Behold the servant of God, ready to do all that which God shall will."
'Then spoke God, saying to Abraham: "Take thy son, thy firstborn Ishmael, and come up the mountain to sacrifice him."
How is Isaac firstborn, if when Isaac was born Ishmael was seven years old?
Then said the disciples: 'Clear is the deception of our doctors: therefore tell us thou the truth, because we know that thou art sent from God.'
Then answered Jesus: 'Verily I say unto you, that Satan ever seeketh to annual the laws of God; and therefore he with his followers, hypocrites and evil-doers, the former with false doctrine, the latter with lewd living, to-day have contaminated almost all things, so that scarcely is the truth found. Woe to the hypocrites! for the praises of this world shall turn for them into insults and torments in hell.
'I therefore say unto you that the messenger of God is a splendour that shall give gladness to nearly all that God hath made, for he is adorned with the spirit of understanding and of counsel, the spirit of wisdom and might, the spirit of fear and love, the spirit of prudence and temperance, he is adorned with the spirit of charity and mercy, the spirit of justice and piety, the spirit of gentleness and patience, which he hath received from God three times more than he hath given to all his creatures. O blessed time, when he shall come to the world! Believe me that I have seen him and have done him reverence, even as every prophet hath seen him: seeing that of his spirit God giveth to them prophecy. And when I saw him my soul was filled with consolation, saying: "O Mohammed, God be with thee, and may he make me worthy to untie thy shoelatchet, for obtaining this I shall be a great prophet and holy one of God." '
And having said this, Jesus rendered his thanks to God.

And having said this, Jesus rendered his thanks to God.
Chapter 54
'When these signs be passed, there shall be
darkness over the world forty years. God alone being alive, to whom be
honour and glory for ever. When the forty years be passed, God shall
give life to his messenger, who shall rise again like the sun, but
resplendent as a thousand suns. He shall sit, and shall not speak, for
he shall be as it were beside himself. God shall raise again the four
angels favoured of God, who shallseek the messenger of God, and,
having found him, shall station themselves on the four sides of the
place to keep watch upon him. Next shall God give life to all the
angels, who shall come like bees circling round the messenger of God.
Next shall God give life to all his prophets, who, following Adam, shall
go every one to kiss the hand of the messenger of God, committing
themeselves to his protection. Next shall God give life to all the
elect, who shall cry out: "O Mohammed, be mindful of us!" At whose cries
pity shall awake in the messenger of God, and he shall consider what he
ought to do, fearing for their salvation. Next shall God give life to
every created thing, and they shall return their former existence, but
every one shall besides possess the power of speech. Next shall God give
life to all the reprobates, at whose resurrection, by reason of their
hideousness, all the creatures of God shall be afraid, and shall cry:
"Let not thy mercy forsake us, O Lord our God." After this shall God
cause Satan to be raised up, at whose aspect every creature shall be as
dead, for fear of the horrid form of his appearance. May it please God,'
said Jesus, 'that I behold not that monster on that day . The messenger
of God alone shall not be affrighted by such shapes, because he shall fear God only.
'Then the angel, at the sound of whose trumpet all shall be raised, shall sound his trumpet again, saying: "Come to the judgment, O creatures, for your Creator willeth to judge you." Then shall appear in the midst of heaven over the valley of Jehoshaphat a glittering throne, over which shall come a white cloud, whereupon the angels shall cry out: "Blessed be thou our God, who hast created us, and saved us from the fall of Satan."
'Then the angel, at the sound of whose trumpet all shall be raised, shall sound his trumpet again, saying: "Come to the judgment, O creatures, for your Creator willeth to judge you." Then shall appear in the midst of heaven over the valley of Jehoshaphat a glittering throne, over which shall come a white cloud, whereupon the angels shall cry out: "Blessed be thou our God, who hast created us, and saved us from the fall of Satan."
Then the messenger of God shall fear, for that he shall
perceive that none hath loved God as he should. For he who would get in
change a piece of gold must have sixty mites; wherefore, if he have but
one mite he cannot change it. But if the messenger of God shall fear,
what shall the ungodly do who are full of wickedness?'
Chapter 55
'The messenger of God shall go to collect all the
prophets, to whom he shall speak, praying them to go with him to pray
God for the faithful. And every one shall excuse himself for fear; nor,
as God liveth, would I go there, knowing what I know. Then God, seeing
this, shall remind his messenger how he created all things for love of
him, and so his fear shall leave him, and he shall go nigh unto the
throne with love and reverence, while the angels sing: "Blessed be thy
holy name O God, our God."
'And when he hath drawn nigh unto the throne, God shall open [his mind] unto his messenger, even as a friend unto a friend when for a long while they have not met. The first to speak shall be the messenger of God, who shall say: "I adore and love thee, O my God, and with all my heart and soul I give thee thanks for that thou didst vouchsafe to create me to be thy servant, and madest all for love of me, so that I might love thee for all things and in all things and above all things; therefore let all thy creatures praise thee, O my God." Then all things created by God shall say: "We give thee thanks, O Lord, and bless thy holy name." Verily I say unto you, the demons and reprobates with Satan shall then weep so that more water shall flow from the eyes of one of them than is in the river of Jordan. Yet shall they not see God.
'And God shall speak unto his messenger, saying: "Thou art welcome, O my faithful servant; therefore ask what thou wilt, for thou shalt obtain all." The messenger of God shall answer. "O Lord, I remember that when thou didst create me, thou saidst that thou hadst willed to make for love of me the world and paradise, and angels and men, that they might glorify thee by me thy servant. Therefore, Lord God, merciful and just. I pray thee that thou recollect thy promise made unto thy servant."
'And God shall make answer even as a friend who jesteth with a friend, and shall say: "Hast thou witnesses of this, my friend Mohammed?" And with reverence he shall say: "Yes, Lord." Then God shall answer: "Go, call them, O Gabriel." The angel Gabriel shall come to the messenger of God, and shall say: "Lord, who are thy witnesses?" The messenger of God shall answer: "They are Adam, Abraham, Ishmael, Moses, David, and Jesus son of Mary."
'Then shall the angel depart, and he shall call the aforesaid witnesses, who with fear shall go thither. And when they are present God shall say unto them: "Remember ye that which my messenger affirmeth?" They shall reply: "What thing, O Lord?" God shall say: "That I have made all things for love of him, so that all things might praise me by him." Then every one of them shall answer: "There are with us three witnesses better than we are, O Lord." And God shall reply: "Who are these three witnesses?" Then Moses shall say: "The book that thou gavest to me is the first"; and David shall say: "The book that thou gavest to me is the second"; and he who speaketh to you shall say: "Lord, the whole world, deceived by Satan, said that I was thy son and thy fellow, but the book that thou gavest me said truly that I am thy servant; and that book confesseth that which thy messenger affirmeth." Then shall the messenger of God speak, and shall say: "Thus saith the book that thou gavest me, O Lord."
'And when he hath drawn nigh unto the throne, God shall open [his mind] unto his messenger, even as a friend unto a friend when for a long while they have not met. The first to speak shall be the messenger of God, who shall say: "I adore and love thee, O my God, and with all my heart and soul I give thee thanks for that thou didst vouchsafe to create me to be thy servant, and madest all for love of me, so that I might love thee for all things and in all things and above all things; therefore let all thy creatures praise thee, O my God." Then all things created by God shall say: "We give thee thanks, O Lord, and bless thy holy name." Verily I say unto you, the demons and reprobates with Satan shall then weep so that more water shall flow from the eyes of one of them than is in the river of Jordan. Yet shall they not see God.
'And God shall speak unto his messenger, saying: "Thou art welcome, O my faithful servant; therefore ask what thou wilt, for thou shalt obtain all." The messenger of God shall answer. "O Lord, I remember that when thou didst create me, thou saidst that thou hadst willed to make for love of me the world and paradise, and angels and men, that they might glorify thee by me thy servant. Therefore, Lord God, merciful and just. I pray thee that thou recollect thy promise made unto thy servant."
'And God shall make answer even as a friend who jesteth with a friend, and shall say: "Hast thou witnesses of this, my friend Mohammed?" And with reverence he shall say: "Yes, Lord." Then God shall answer: "Go, call them, O Gabriel." The angel Gabriel shall come to the messenger of God, and shall say: "Lord, who are thy witnesses?" The messenger of God shall answer: "They are Adam, Abraham, Ishmael, Moses, David, and Jesus son of Mary."
'Then shall the angel depart, and he shall call the aforesaid witnesses, who with fear shall go thither. And when they are present God shall say unto them: "Remember ye that which my messenger affirmeth?" They shall reply: "What thing, O Lord?" God shall say: "That I have made all things for love of him, so that all things might praise me by him." Then every one of them shall answer: "There are with us three witnesses better than we are, O Lord." And God shall reply: "Who are these three witnesses?" Then Moses shall say: "The book that thou gavest to me is the first"; and David shall say: "The book that thou gavest to me is the second"; and he who speaketh to you shall say: "Lord, the whole world, deceived by Satan, said that I was thy son and thy fellow, but the book that thou gavest me said truly that I am thy servant; and that book confesseth that which thy messenger affirmeth." Then shall the messenger of God speak, and shall say: "Thus saith the book that thou gavest me, O Lord."
And when the messenger of God hath
saidthis, God shall speak, saying: "All that I have now done, I have
done in order that every one should know how much I love thee." And
when he hath thus spoken, God shall give unto his messenger a book, in
which are written all the names of the elect of God. Wherefore every
creature shall do reverence to God, saying "To thee alone, O God, be
glory and honour, because thou hast given us to thy messenger."
Chapter 97
`Unworthy though I am to untie his hosen, I have received grace and mercy from God to see him.'
Then
answered the priest, with the governor and the king, saying: `Distress
not thyself, O Jesus, holy one of God, because in our time shall not
this sedition be any more, seeing that we will write to the sacred Roman
senate in such wise that by imperial decree none shall any more call
thee God or son of God.'
Then said Jesus: `With your words I am
not consoled, because where ye hope for light darkness shall come; but
my consolation is in the coming of the messenger, who shall destroy
every false opinion of me, and his faith shall spread and shall take
hold of the whole world, for so hath God promised to Abraham our father.
And that which giveth me consolation is that his faith shall have no
end, but shall be kept inviolate by God.'
The priest answered: `After the coming of the messenger of God shall other prophets come?'
Jesus
answered: `There shall not come after him true prophets sent by God,
but there shall come a great number of false prophets, whereat I sorrow.
For Satan shall raise them up by the just judgement of God, and they
shall hide themselves under the pretext of my gospel.'
Herod answered: `How is it a just judgement of God that such impious men should come?'
Jesus
answered: `It is just that he who will not believe in the truth to his
salvation should believe in a lie to his damnation. Wherefore I say unto
you, that the world hath ever despise the true prophets and loved the
false, as can be seen in the time of Michaiah and Jeremiah. For every
like loveth his like.'
Then said the priest: `How shall the Messiah be called, and what sign shall reveal his coming?'
Jesus
answered: `The name of the Messiah is admirable, for God himself gave
him the name when he had created his soul, and placed it in a celestial
splendour. God said: "Wait Mohammed; for thy sake I will to create
paradise, the world, and a great multitude of creatures, whereof I make
thee a present, insomuch that whoso bless thee shall be blessed, and
whoso shall curse thee shall be accursed. When I shall send thee into
the world I shall send thee as my messenger of salvation, and thy word
shall be true, insomuch that heaven and earth shall fail, but thy faith
shall never fail." Mohammed is his blessed name.'
Then the crowd
lifted up their voices, saying: `O God, send us thy messenger: O
Mohammed, come quickly for the salvation of the world!'
Chapter112
Having said this, Jesus said:
`Ye needs must seek of the fruits of the field the wherewithal to
sustain our life, for it is now eight days that we have eaten no bread.
Wherefore I will pray to our God, and will await you with Barnabas.'
So
all the disciples and apostles departed by fours and by sixes and went
their way according to the word of Jesus. There remained with Jesus he
who writeth; whereupon Jesus, weeping, said: `O Barnabas, it is
necessary that I should reveal to thee great secrets, which, after that I
shall be departed from the world, thou shalt reveal to it.'
Then
answered he that writeth, weeping, and said: `Suffer me to weep, O
master, and other men also, for that we are sinners. And thou, that art
an holy one and prophet of God, it is not fitting for thee to weep so
much.'
Jesus answered: `Believe me, Barnabas, that
I cannot weep as much as I ought. For if men had not called me God, I
should have seen God here as he will be seen in paradise, and should
have been safe not to fear the day of judgement. But God knoweth that I
am innocent, because never have I harboured thought to be held more than
a poor slave. Nay, I tell thee that if I had not been called God I
should have been carried into paradise when I shall depart from the
world, whereas now I shall not go thither until the judgement. Now thou
seest if I have cause to weep. Know, O Barnabas, that for this I must
have great persecution, and shall be sold by one of my disciples for
thirty pieces of money. Whereupon I am sure that he who shall sell me
shall be slain in my name, for that God shall take me up from the earth,
and shall change the appearance of the traitor so that every one shall
believe him to be me; nevertheless, when he dieth an evil death, I shall
abide in that dishonour for a long time in the world. But when Mohammed
shall come, the sacred messenger of God, that infamy shall be taken
away. And this shall God do because I have confessed the truth of the
Messiah; who shall give me this reward, that I shall be known to be
alive and to be a stranger to that death of infamy.
Then answered he that writeth: `O master, tell me who is that wretch, for I fain would choke him to death.'
`Hold
thy peace,' answered Jesus, `for so God willeth, and he cannot do
otherwise: but see thou that when my mother is afflicted at such an
event thou tell her the truth, in order that she may be comforted,'
Then answered he who writeth: `All this will I do, master, if God please.'
Chapter136
In this accursed spot shall
abide the infidels for evermore: insomuch that if the world were filled
with grains of millet, and a single bird once in a hundred years should
take away a single grain to empty the world - if when it should be empty
the infidels were to go into paradise, they would rest delighted. But
there is not this hope, because their torment cannot have an end,
seeing that they were not willing for the love of God to put an end to
their sin.
`But the faithful shall have comfort, because their torment shall have an end.'
The disciples were affrighted, hearing this, and said: `So then the faithful must go into hell?
Jesus
answered: `Every one, be he who he may, must go into hell. It is true,
however, that they holy ones and prophets of God shall go there to
behold, not suffering any punishment; and the righteous, only suffering
fear. And what shall I say? I tell you that thither shall come [even]
the messenger of God, to behold the justice of God. Thereupon hell shall
tremble at his presence. And because he hath human flesh, all those
that have human flesh and shall be under punishment, so long as the
messenger of God shall abide to behold hell, so long shall they abide
without punishment. But he shall abide there [only] so long as it taketh
to shut and open the eyes.
`And this shall God do in order that every creature may know that he hath received benefit from the messenger of God
`When
he shall go there all the devils shall shriek, and seek to hide
themselves beneath the burning embers, saying one to another: "Fly, fly,
for here cometh Mohammed our enemy!" Hearing which, Satan shall smite
himself upon the face with both his hands, and screaming shall say:
"Thou art more noble than I, in my despite, and this is unjustly done!"
`As
for the faithful, who are in seventy-two grades, those of the two last
grades, who shall have had the faith without good works - the one being
sad at good works, and the other delighting in evil - they shall abide
in hell seventy thousand years.
`After those years
shall the angel Gabriel come into hell, and shall bear them say: "O
Mohammed, where are thy promises made to us, saying that those who have
thy faith shall not abide in hell for evermore?
`Then
the angel of God shall return to paradise, and having approached with
reverence the messenger of God shall narrate to him what he hath heard.
`Then
shall his messenger speak to God and say: :Lord, my God, remember the
promise made to me thy servant, concerning them that have received my
faith, that they shall not abide for evermore in hell."
`God shall answer: "Ask what thou wilt, O my friend, for I will give thee all that thou askest."
Chapter163
Jesus went into the wilderness beyond Jordan with his disciples, and
when the midday prayer was done he sat down near to a palm-tree, and
under the shadow of the palm-tree his disciples sat down. Then Jesus
said: 'So secret is predestination, O brethren, that I say to you,
truly, only to one man shall it be clearly known. He it is whom the
nations look for, to whom the secrets of God are so clear that, when he
comes into the world, blessed shall they be that shall listen to his
words, because God shall overshadow them with his mercy even as this
palm-tree overshadows us. Yes, even as this tree protects us from the
burning heat of the sun, even so the mercy of God will protect from
Satan them that believe in that man.'
The disciples answered, "O
Master, who shall that man be of whom you speak, who shall come into the
world?" Jesus answered with joy of heart: 'He is Muhammad;, Messenger
of God, and when he comes into the world, even as the rain makes the
earth to bear fruit when for a long time it has not rained, even so
shall he be occasion of good works among men, through the abundant mercy
which he shall bring. For he is a white cloud full of the mercy of God,
which mercy God shall sprinkle upon the faithful like rain.'
Chapter 220
Jesus replied, embracing his mother: 'Believe me, mother, for truly I
say to you that I have not been dead at all; for God has reserved me
till near the end of the world.' And having said this he prayed the four
angels that they would manifest themselves, and give testimony how the
matter had passed.
Thereupon the angels manifested themselves
like four shining suns, insomuch that through fear every one again fell
down as dead. Then Jesus gave four linen cloths to the angels that they
might cover themselves, in order that they might be seen and heard to
speak by his mother and her companions. And having lifted up each one,
he comforted them, saying: 'These are the ministers of God: Gabriel, who
announces God's secrets; Michael, who fights against God's enemies;
Rafael, who receives the souls of them that die; and Uriel, who will
call every one to the judgment of God at the last day. Then the four
angels narrated to the Virgin how God had sent for Jesus, and had
transformed Judas, that he might suffer the punishment to which he had
sold another.
Then said he who writes: 'O Master, is it lawful
for me to question you now, as it was lawful for me when you dwelt with
us?' Jesus answered: 'Ask what you please, Barnabas, and I will answer
you.' Then said he who writes: 'O Master, seeing that God is merciful,
wherefore has he so tormented us, making us to believe that you were
dead? and your mother has so wept for you that she has been near to
death; and you, who are an holy one of God, on you has God suffered to
fall the calumny that you were slain amongst robbers ;on the Mount
Calvary?'
Jesus answered: 'Believe me, Barnabas, that every sin,
however small it be, God punishes with great punishment, seeing that God
is offended at sin. Wherefore, since my mother and my faithful
disciples that were with me loved me a little with earthly love, the
righteous God has willed to punish this love with the present grief, in
order that it may not be punished in the flames of hell.
And
though I have been innocent in the world, since men have called me
"God," and "Son of God," God, in order that I be not mocked of the
demons on the day of judgment, has willed that I be mocked of men in
this world by the death of Judas;, making all men to believe that I died
upon the cross. And this mocking shall continue until the advent of
Muhammad, the Messenger of God, who, when he shall come, shall reveal
this deception to those who believe in God's Law. Having thus spoken,
Jesus said: 'You are just, O Lord our God, because to you only belongs
honour and glory without end.'
Al-Quran dengan jelas mengatakan Mesias adalah Isa Al-Masih. Bukan Muhammad. Sebaliknya, Injil Barnabas mengatakan “Muhammad adalah Mesias, dan Isa selalu menyangkal bahwa Ia bukan Mesias” (Lihat bab 3, 42, 82).
Sungguhkah Mesias itu adalah Muhammad, anak Abdullah dan bukan Isa Al-Masih anak Maryam?
Kedua: Langit Ada Tujuh, Bukan Sembilan
Sura Al-Baqarah ayat 29 mengatakan langit ada tujuh. Juga Sura Al-Isra ayat 44 memberi pernyataan yang sama. Tetapi Injil Barnabas bab 178 dengan tegas mengatakan bahwa langit ada sembilan.
Sepertinya penulis kitab ini membaca tulisan Dante yang mengarang khayalan terkenal “Divina Commedia” tentang sembilan langit menuju Firdaus.
Mana yang benar – sembilan atau tujuh?
Ketiga: Seorang Pria Dapat Menikahi Berapa Wanita?
Menurut Qs 4:3, “seorang laki-laki dapat menikahi dua, tiga, empat wanita” sekaligus. Bahkan Qs 70:30 menambahkan keempat isteri tersebut adalah “selain budak-budak yang mereka miliki”. Hal ini bertentangan dengan ajaran Injil Barnabas. Menurutnya “hendaklah seorang lelaki puas dengan seorang wanita yang dikaruniakan Allah baginya dan hendaklah dia melupakan wanita lainnya” (Injil Barnabas bab 115).
Manakah petunjuk Allah yang sesungguhnya – empat atau satu?
Keempat: Adakah Maryam Mengalami Sakit Saat Melahirkan?
Saat melahirkan Isa Al-Masih, “Maryam mengalami rasa sakit saat melahirkan” (Qs 19:23). Sedangkan Injil Barnabas bab 13 mengatakan, “Maryam ‘dikelilingi oleh cahaya terang yang luar biasa, seraya melahirkan puteranya tanpa sakit”.
Manakah yang benar – Siti Maryam sakit pada waktu melahirkan atau tidak?
Kelima: Allah Membutuhkan Manusia?
“Dan tiap-tiap manusia itu telah Kami tetapkan amal perbuatannya (sebagaimana tetapnya kalung) pada lehernya” (Qs 17:13).
“Ketika Allah menciptakan manusia dengan kebebasan agar dia boleh mengetahui bahwa Allah tidak membutuhkan manusia, sama seperti seorang raja yang memberikan kebebasan kepada hamba-hambanya” (Injil Barnabas bab 155)
Perhatikanlah dua ayat di atas, bukankah keduanya saling bertentangan?
Injil Barnabas Bertentangan Dengan Alkitab
Sangat jelas bahwa Injil Barnabas bertentangan dengan Alkitab. Inti Injil adalah Kabar Baik yang dibawa oleh Isa Al-Masih. Kabar Baik ini menegaskan sia-sialah segala usaha amal manusia untuk meraih keselamatan. Hal tersebut tidak dapat melepaskan manusia dari ikatan dosa dan iblis. Keselamatan hanya terdapat dalam Isa Al-Masih.
Bila amal ibadah dapat menghapus dosa, seberapa banyakkah amal yang harus dilakukan manusia agar dapat mengampuni dosa-dosanya? Jelas hal itu mustahil!
Isa Al-Masih Menghancurkan Kuasa Setan
Injil yang benar memberikan jawaban yang indah. Sesungguhnya manusia yang terikat oleh dosa tidak dapat mematahkan rantai iblis. Tetapi Isa Al-Masih, Tuhan yang turun dari sorga, sudah menghancurkan kuasa setan. “Bagi Dia (Isa Al-Masih), yang mengasihi kita dan telah melepaskan kita dari dosa kita oleh darah-Nya dan telah membuat kita menjadi suatu kerajaan…bagi Dialah kemuliaan dan kuasa sampai selama-lamanya. Amin” (Injil, Kitab Wahyu 1:6).
Kembali Injil Barnabas menyangkal fakta dalam Injil. Menurutnya, Isa Al-Masih tidak pernah mati disalib, melainkan Judas-lah yang dibuat Allah menyerupai wajah Isa Al-Masih. Sedangkan Isa sendiri diangkat Allah ke sorga.
Benarkah Isa Al-Masih takut menghadapi maut sehingga harus melarikan diri? Inilah perkataan Isa Al-Masih, “Sekarang jiwa-Ku (Isa Al-Masih) terharu dan apakah yang akan Ku katakan? Bapa, selamatkanlah Aku dari saat ini (yaitu dari salib). Tidak, sebab untuk itulah Aku datang ke dalam saat ini. Bapa, memuliakan nama-Mu!” (Injil, Rasul Besar Yohanes 12:27, 28).
Isa Al-Masih tidak pernah melarikan diri dari maut. Dia bersedia mengorbankan diri sebagai “Anak domba Allah, yang menghapus dosa dunia” (Injil, Rasul Besar Yohanes 1:29). Ia menghapus dosa semua manusia yang percaya kepada-Nya.
Injil yang benar menawarkan keselamatan cuma-cuma sebagai anugerah dari Allah. “Karunia Allah ialah hidup yang kekal dalam Kristus Yesus, (Isa Al-Masih) Tuhan kita” (Injil, Surat Roma 6:23). Sambutlah Dia! Yakinlah akan janji Isa Al-Masih, “Barangsiapa datang kepada-Ku, ia tidak akan dibuang” (Injil, Rasul Yohanes 6:37).
Guru Besar Islam Mencap Injil Barnabas Injil Palsu
