What Do
Muslims Believe about Jesus? |
Muslims respect and revere Jesus
(peace be upon him). They consider him one of the greatest of Gods
messengers to mankind. The Quran confirms his virgin birth, and a

scriptures that were revealed by God. They underwent alterations,
additions, and omissions. This was also said by the Committee charged with

consisted of thirty-two scholars who served as members of the Committee.
They secured the review and counsel of an Advisory Board of fifty
representatives of the co-operating denominations. The Committee said in
the Preface to The Holy Bible (Revised Standard Version), p. iv,

the versions provides a satisfactory restoration. Here we can only follow
the best judgment of competent scholars as to the most probable reconstruction
of the original text. The Committee also said in the Preface, p. vii, Notes
are added which indicate significant variations, additions, or omissions in the
ancient authorities (Mt 9.34; Mk 3.16; 7.4; Lk 24.32, 51, etc.).
