The People of the Scripture ask you to bring down to them a book from the
heaven. But they had asked of Moses [even] greater than that and said,
"Show us Allah outright," so the thunderbolt struck them for their
wrongdoing. Then they took the calf [for worship] after clear evidences
had come to them, and We pardoned that. And We gave Moses a clear
authority.
And We raised over them the mount for [refusal of] their covenant; and We
said to them, "Enter the gate bowing humbly", and We said to them, "Do not
transgress on the sabbath", and We took from them a solemn covenant.
And [We cursed them] for their breaking of the covenant and their
disbelief in the signs of Allah and their killing of the prophets without
right and their saying, "Our hearts are wrapped". Rather, Allah has sealed
them because of their disbelief, so they believe not, except for a few.
And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the
son of Mary, the messenger of Allah ." And they did not kill him, nor did
they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And
indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no
knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill
him, for certain.
And there is none from the People of the Scripture but that he will surely
believe in Jesus before his death. And on the Day of Resurrection he will
be against them a witness.
For wrongdoing on the part of the Jews, We made unlawful for them
[certain] good foods which had been lawful to them, and for their averting
from the way of Allah many [people],
And [for] their taking of usury while they had been forbidden from it, and
their consuming of the people's wealth unjustly. And we have prepared for
the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.
But those firm in knowledge among them and the believers believe in what
has been revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what was revealed before you.
And the establishers of prayer [especially] and the givers of zakah and
the believers in Allah and the Last Day - those We will give a great
reward.
