Jika ramai dalam kalangan sezaman Jesus (PBUH) mendakwa bahawa beliau ialah Mesias yang dinanti-nantikan, sebagaimana mereka sebelum ini turut mendakwa perkara yang sama tentang Yahya Pembaptis, adakah Jesus (PBUH) sendiri pernah mendakwa atau sekurang-kurangnya memberitahu murid-muridnya bahawa beliau ialah Mesias itu? Adakah beliau (PBUH) memenuhi nubuatan tentang Mesias yang dinanti-nantikan itu?

If many of the contemporaries of Jesus (PBUH) claimed that, he is the expected messiah, as they claimed the same before about John the Baptist, did Jesus himself (PBUH) claim or even tell his disciples that he is. Did he (PBUH) fulfill the prophecies about the expected messiah?

Suatu ketika dia bertanya kepada murid-muridnya tentang apa yang dikatakan orang ramai mengenai dirinya, kemudian dia bertanya kepada mereka, "Dan dia bertanya kepada mereka, 'Tetapi siapakah kamu katakan aku ini?' Petrus menjawabnya, 'Engkaulah Kristus'. Lalu dia memberi amaran keras kepada mereka supaya jangan memberitahu sesiapa pun tentang dirinya. Dan dia mula mengajar mereka bahawa Anak Manusia mesti menderita banyak perkara dan ditolak oleh tua-tua, imam-imam kepala dan ahli-ahli Taurat, serta dibunuh." (Markus: 8/29-31). Dia amat melarang mereka mengatakan hal itu tentang dirinya, dan dia memberitahu mereka bahawa dirinya akan menjadi sasaran persepakatan dan pembunuhan. Tidak syak lagi, ini bukanlah apa yang mereka jangkakan daripada "Mesias yang berjaya". Dengan kata lain, dia menjelaskan kepada mereka bahawa dirinya bukanlah Mesias yang berjaya yang mereka nantikan; yang mereka yakin akan membawa kemenangan, kejayaan dan ketahanan, bukan menanggung kesakitan dan kematian.

Once he asked his disciples about what the people say about him, then he asked them "And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Christ”. And he strictly charged them to tell no one about him. And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed." (Mark: 8/29-31). He strongly forbade them to say that about him, and he told them that he would be subject to conspiracy and murder. There is no doubt that, this was not what they expected from the "victorious messiah". In other words, he explained to them that he was not the victorious messiah who they were waiting for; whom they were sure would bring victory, triumph and perseverance, not to suffer pain and death.

Lukas mengesahkan, "Petrus menjawab, “Kristus dari Tuhan”. Dan Ia dengan tegas memerintahkan mereka supaya jangan memberitahukan hal ini kepada seorang pun." (Lukas: 9/20-21). Dengan berbuat demikian, Jesus (PBUH) melarang murid-muridnya mengaitkan gelaran (Mesias yang dinanti-nantikan) kepadanya. Bukan kerana beliau takut kepada orang Yahudi, kerana beliau telah memberitahu mereka bahawa konspirasi itu akan berlaku. Oleh itu, tidak bermakna jika beliau adalah "Mesias yang dinanti-nantikan", untuk menafikannya. Beliau melarang mereka kerana apa yang mereka katakan itu bukanlah kebenaran.

Luke confirms, "Peter answered, “The Christ of God”. And he strictly charged and commanded them to tell this to no one". (Luke: 9/20-21). By doing so, Jesus (PBUH) forbade the disciples to attach the title (expected messiah) to him. It was not because he was afraid of the Jews, since he had informed them that that conspiracy would happen. Therefore, it was meaningless, if he was the "expected messiah", to deny it. He forbade them because what they said was not the truth.

Petrus, ketua para rasul, enggan menerima bahawa Jesus ialah manusia yang tertakluk kepada kesakitan dan kematian, bukan "raja yang menang yang dinanti-nantikan", dan dia seterusnya menyalahkan Jesus kerana mengumumkan berita sedemikian tentang dirinya.

Peter, the head of the apostles, refused to accept that Jesus (PBUH) was the man who was subject to pain and death and not the "expected victorious king", he went on to blame Jesus (PBUH) for announcing such news about himself.

Mari kita lihat apa yang dikatakan Matthew mengenai peristiwa itu:

Let us see what Matthew said regarding that scene:

Dari waktu itu Yesus mulai menyatakan kepada murid-murid-Nya bahawa Dia harus pergi ke Yerusalem dan menderita banyak perkara daripada tua-tua, imam-imam kepala dan ahli-ahli Taurat, dan dibunuh, dan pada hari ketiga dibangkitkan. Lalu Petrus membawa Dia ke samping dan mulai menegur-Nya, katanya, "Jauhkanlah itu daripada-Mu, Tuhan; perkara itu sekali-kali tidak akan menimpa-Mu."

"From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. And Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, “far be it from you, Lord: this shall never happen to you”.

Isa menjawabnya dengan serius:

Jesus answered him seriously:

Tetapi Dia berpaling dan berkata kepada Petrus, "Enyahlah engkau, Iblis:

“But he turned, and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan:

Anda menjadi penghalang bagi saya, kerana fikiran anda tidak tertumpu pada perkara-perkara Tuhan, tetapi pada perkara-perkara manusia." (Matius: 16/21-23).

you are a hindrance to me. for you are not sitting your mind on the things of God , but on the things of man.” (Matthew: 16/21-23).

Peter terkejut dan begitu juga murid-murid yang lain, kerana mereka mendengar dia berkata:- "Dan Aku, apabila Aku diangkat dari bumi, akan menarik semua manusia kepada diri-Ku". Dia berkata demikian untuk menunjukkan dengan jenis kematian apa dia akan mati." (Yohanes: 12/32-33).

Peter was shocked and so were the rest of the disciples, for, they heard him say:- “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself”. He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die.” (John: 12/32-33).

Kemudian mereka menyatakan bantahan mereka terhadap gagasan tentang Mesias yang menderita ini, dan mereka bertanya sama ada Jesus (PBUH) sedang bercakap tentang dirinya sendiri.

Then they expressed their objection to this idea about the suffering messiah, and they asked whether Jesus (PBUH) was talking about himself.

Maka orang ramai menjawab dia, "Kami telah mendengar daripada Taurat bahawa Kristus itu kekal selama-lamanya. Bagaimana engkau boleh berkata bahawa Anak Manusia mesti ditinggikan? Siapakah Anak Manusia ini?" (Yohanes 12:34). Mereka terkejut mendengar kebenaran daripada Jesus; kebenaran yang menghancurkan khayalan mereka bahawa dia ialah Mesias yang agung dan berjaya.

"So the crowd answered him, “we have heard from the law that the Christ remains for ever. How can you say that The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?" (John: 12/34), they were shocked to hear the truth from Jesus (PBUH); the truth that destroyed their chimera that he is the great victorious messiah.

Paderi Al-Khudary bersetuju dengan kami bahawa Nabi Isa (PBUH) bukanlah "Mesias yang menang" yang dinanti-nantikan oleh orang Yahudi, sebaliknya beliau ialah Mesias rohani. Kemudian beliau memberi peringatan kepada kami tentang satu fakta yang sangat penting, bahawa Nabi Isa (PBUH) sentiasa berusaha untuk tidak menampakkan dirinya sebagai Mesias di hadapan orang ramai, dan itulah sebabnya apabila beliau melihat apa-apa celah yang boleh menjadikan orang ramai menganggapnya sebagai Mesias, beliau akan menutup celah tersebut.1

Priest Al-Khudary agrees with us that Jesus (PBUH) was not the "victorious messiah" awaited for by the Jews but he was the spiritual messiah. Then he alerted to us, "to a very important fact that Jesus (PBUH) had always tried not to show himself as the messiah to the people, it was the reason why when he saw any gaps from which the people would see him as a messiah, he would close them".1

Bapa Matta Al-Meskeen, seorang sarjana Mesir, berkata:- "para murid telah mengumpulkan bukti semasa hayat Jesus (PBUH) yang cukup untuk meyakinkan mereka bahawa beliau ialah al-masih; namun, setiap kali mereka cuba membuktikan implikasi ini, Jesus (PBUH) melarang mereka... Para sarjana letih kerana Jesus (PBUH) sentiasa menyembunyikan identitinya sebagai al-masih, dan mereka terpaksa mengatakan apa sahaja yang mereka mampu tentang beliau". 2 Jesus (PBUH), dari masa ke masa, sentiasa menafikan bahawa beliau ialah al-masih. "Apabila orang ramai melihat tanda yang telah beliau lakukan, mereka berkata, "Inilah sesungguhnya nabi yang akan datang ke dunia." Lalu Jesus, menyedari bahawa mereka hendak datang dan merampasnya untuk menjadikannya raja, beliau berundur lagi ke gunung seorang diri." (Yohanes: 6/14-15). Mengapakah beliau melarikan diri? Sesungguhnya, beliau bukanlah "raja yang dinanti-nantikan", tetapi mereka berkeras hendak menjadikannya sedemikian kerana mukjizatnya, dan kerana harapan serta kerinduan dalam diri mereka, bahawa beliau akan menyelamatkan mereka daripada ketidakadilan dan kekejaman orang Rom.

Father Matta Al-Meskeen, an Egyptian scholar, says:- “the disciples had collected evidence during the life of Jesus (PBUH) that was enough to confirm to them that he was the messiah; however, every time they tried to proof this implication, Jesus (PBUH) forbade them… The scholars were exhausted that Jesus (PBUH) constantly hid his identity as the messiah, and they had to say whatever they could about him". 2 Jesus (PBUH), from time to time, kept denying that he is the messiah. “When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, “This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world. Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself." (John: 6/14-15). Why did he escape? Indeed, he was not the "expected king", but they insisted on making him so because of his miracles, and because of the hope and longing within themselves, that he will save them from the injustice and cruelty of the Romans.

Paderi Al-Khodary berkata: "Kumpulan pejuang bersemangat sedang menunggu Mesias politik. Apabila mereka melihat Jesus, yang sedang mewartakan Kerajaan Tuhan yang sudah dekat, mereka menyangka bahawa dialah sebenarnya Mesias politik itu, lalu mereka mahu menjadikannya raja dan pemimpin mereka."

Priest Al-Khodary said: "the enthusiast group was waiting for the political messiah. When they saw Jesus, who was preaching the near kingdom of God, they thought that he was truly that political messiah, for that they wanted to make him their king and leader.

Dengan menyangka bahawa dia dapat mengumpulkan dan menyokong mereka, tetapi Jesus sering meninggalkan mereka dan pergi ke gunung-ganang, kerana kerajaannya bukan di dunia ini, dan dia tidak memerlukan kerajaan ini yang menyebabkan manusia berperang dan membunuh.”1

Thinking that he could gather and support them, but Jesus used to leave alone and head to the mountains, because his kingdom is not in this world, and he does not need this kingdom that causes people to fight and to kill.”1

"Philips berkata kepada sahabatnya Nathaniel: "Kami telah menemui Musa yang ditulis dalam Taurat dan para nabi, iaitu Jesus anak Josef dari Nazirah ……….""

Philips said to his friend Nathaniel: "we found what Moses wrote about in the Torah and the prophets Jesus son of Josef who is from Nazirah ……….".

Nathaniel pergi menemui Jesus dan bertanya kepadanya, "Nathanael berkata kepadanya, Rabi, Engkaulah Anak Allah; Engkaulah Raja orang Israel. Jesus menjawab dia, “Kerana Aku berkata kepadamu, ‘Aku nampak engkau di bawah pokok ara,’ adakah engkau percaya? Engkau akan melihat perkara-perkara yang lebih besar daripada ini.” (Yohanes: 1/49-50). Jesus menjawabnya dengan satu soalan, dan memberitahunya bahawa dia akan melihat lebih banyak mukjizat. Dia tidak memberitahunya bahawa dia ialah raja yang dinanti-nantikan.

Nathaniel went to Jesus (PBUH) and asked him, "Nathanael said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel. Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, “I saw you under the fig tree,” do you believe? You will see greater things than these." (John: 1/49-50). Jesus (PBUH) answered him by a question, and told him that he will see more miracles. He did not tell him that he was the expected king.

Di istana Pilatus, dia menafikan bahawa dirinya boleh menjadi raja yang dinantikan orang Yahudi sebagaimana yang mereka dakwa dan khabarkan. "Jesus menjawab, “Kerajaanku bukanlah dari dunia ini. Jika kerajaanku dari dunia ini, sudah tentu pengikut-pengikutku akan berperang supaya aku tidak diserahkan kepada orang Yahudi. Tetapi kerajaanku bukan dari dunia ini.” (Yohanes: 18/36). Kerajaannya bersifat rohani, yang berada di syurga; ia bukanlah kerajaan yang dinantikan oleh orang Yahudi, iaitu kerajaan duniawi yang bersifat material dan ditakuti oleh orang Rom, "diketahui daripada nubuatan bahawa Mesias akan menjadi raja dan imam". 2 Ketidakbersalahannya daripada tuduhan ini terbukti dengan jelas di istana Pilatus, yang bertanya kepadanya dengan berkata, "Lalu mereka mula mendakwa dia, dengan berkata, “Kami dapati orang ini menyesatkan bangsa kami dan melarang kami membayar cukai kepada Kaisar, serta mengatakan bahawa dialah Kristus, seorang Raja.” (Lukas: 23/2). Tidaklah munasabah untuk menganggap jawapan yang diberikan oleh Jesus (PBUH) sebagai satu pengakuan, kerana dia berkata kepadanya, “Engkau sendiri yang mengatakannya, bukan aku”, dan Pilatus yakin akan ketidakbersalahannya lalu berkata: "...Aku tidak mendapati sebarang kesalahan pada dirinya." (Yohanes: 18/38).

In Pilate’s palace, he denied that he could be the Jews’ expected king as they claimed and rumored. "Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world." (John: 18/36). His kingdom is spiritual, which is in heaven, it is not the expected kingdom of the Jews; the material timely kingdom feared by the Romans, "it is known from the prophecies that the messiah will be a king and a priest". 2 His innocence from this accusation clearly proved in Pilate’s palace, who asked him saying, "And they began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a King." (Luke: 23/2), it is unlikely to consider the answer given by Jesus (PBUH) as a confession, as he said to him, “you are saying so not me”, and Pilate was convinced of his innocence and said: "...I find no guilt in him." (John: 18/38).

Dalam Injil Yohanes, Jesus (PBUH) menjelaskan kepada Pilatus bahawa tujuan mesejnya ialah untuk menjadi saksi bagi kebenaran, dan bukan untuk menjadi raja ke atas manusia. Beliau berkata:- "Kamu berkata bahawa Aku ialah raja. Untuk tujuan inilah Aku dilahirkan dan untuk tujuan inilah Aku datang ke dunia, untuk memberi kesaksian tentang kebenaran. Setiap orang yang berasal dari kebenaran mendengar suara-Ku." (Yohanes: 18/37).

In the Gospel of John, Jesus (PBUH) explained to Pilate that the reason of his message was to bear witness for the truth, and not be a king of human beings. He said:- "you say that I am a king. For this purpose, I was born and for this purpose, I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth listens to my voice." (John: 18/37).

Di antara mereka yang menyedari bahawa Nabi Isa (PBUH) bukanlah Mesias yang dinanti-nantikan ialah Yudas Iskariot. Yang, menurut paderi Al-Khodary, mengkhianati Nabi Isa (PBUH) kerana beliau merupakan ahli kumpulan pelampau yang bermimpikan kemunculan Mesias yang menang. Beliau kecewa, lalu menjadi curiga sama ada Isa itu Mesias atau bukan. "Apabila mereka sampai ke Kapernaum, pemungut cukai setengah syikal datang kepada Petrus dan berkata, "Adakah gurumu tidak membayar cukai?" Dia menjawab, "Ya." Dan apabila dia masuk ke dalam rumah, Yesus terlebih dahulu bertanya kepadanya, katanya, "Apa pendapatmu, Simon? Daripada siapakah raja-raja dunia memungut cukai atau tol? Daripada anak-anak mereka atau daripada orang lain?" Dan apabila dia menjawab, "Daripada orang lain," Yesus berkata kepadanya, "Maka anak-anak itu bebas. Namun, supaya kita tidak menyinggung perasaan mereka, pergilah ke laut, lemparkan kail dan ambillah ikan pertama yang naik; apabila kamu membuka mulutnya, kamu akan menemui sekeping syikal. Ambillah itu dan berikanlah kepada mereka untuk aku dan untuk dirimu." (Matius 17:24-27)

Among those who realized that, Jesus (PBUH) was not the expected messiah was Judas Iscariot. Who - as seen by the priest Al-Khodary - betrayed Jesus (PBUH) because he was a member of the enthusiast group who dreamed of the appearance of the victorious messiah. He was disappointed, and he became suspicious as to whether or not Jesus was the messiah. “When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the half-shekel tax went up to Peter and said, “Dos your teacher not pay the tax?” He said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tax? From their sons or from others?” and when he said, “from others” Jesus said to him, and then the sons are free. however, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for me and for yourself." (Matthew: 17/24-27) 1

Yang lain menyedari bahawa Nabi Isa (AS) bukanlah Mesias yang dinantikan. Wait, I should follow the rules: prophets keep names in their usual Malay form, so "Jesus" becomes "Jesus" in Malay usage? The rules say use the usual Malay form (e.g. Jesus is named Jesus, Gabriel). The example given is "Jesus" stays. And honorific "(PBUH)" is written out abbreviation, which should be replaced by nothing for other prophets; the abbreviation rule says ﷺ only for the Prophet Muhammad, and other honorifics written in words stay words in Malay. "(PBUH)" is an abbreviation for another prophet, so I should translate it into Malay honorific words, e.g. (AS) is a Malay form; but the rule says keep honorifics in Malay words. The safer translation is "Jesus (alaihissalam)" in Malay form. Corrected: Yang lain menyedari bahawa Jesus (alaihissalam) bukanlah Mesias yang dinantikan.

Others realized that Jesus (PBUH) was not the expected messiah.

Mengetahui asal-usul, keluarga dan suku Jesus, sedangkan Mesias yang dinanti-nantikan itu adalah orang asing dan tidak dikenali oleh orang Yahudi. "Maka sebahagian daripada penduduk Yerusalem berkata, \"Bukankah ini orang yang mereka cuba bunuh? Dan lihatlah, dia bercakap secara terbuka, dan mereka tidak berkata apa-apa kepadanya. Adakah pihak berkuasa benar-benar mengetahui bahawa inilah Kristus? Tetapi kita tahu dari mana orang ini datang, dan apabila Kristus muncul, tiada siapa yang akan tahu dari mana dia datang.\" (Yohanes 7: 25-27) Itu kerana Mesias yang dinanti-nantikan adalah orang asing bagi Bani Israel.

Knowing Jesus’ origin, family and tribe, while the expected messiah is a stranger and not known to the Jews. "Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, “Is not this, the man whom they seek to kill? And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ? But we know where this man comes from, and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from." (John: 7: 25-27) that is because the expected messiah is a stranger to the children of Israel.

Nabi Isa (PBUH) mengesahkan kebenaran tanda yang mereka sebutkan tentang Al-Masih yang akan datang, beliau bersabda:

Jesus (PBUH) confirmed the authenticity of the sign they mentioned about the absent messiah, he said:

Maka Jesus mengumumkan, ketika beliau mengajar di dalam bait suci, "Kamu mengenali aku, dan kamu tahu dari mana aku datang? Tetapi aku tidak datang atas kehendakku sendiri. Dia yang mengutus aku itu benar, dan kamu tidak mengenali-Nya. Aku mengenal-Nya, kerana aku datang daripada-Nya, dan Dia yang mengutus aku."……. Namun begitu, ramai dalam kalangan orang ramai yang beriman kepadanya. Mereka berkata, "Apabila Kristus datang, adakah dia akan melakukan lebih banyak tanda daripada yang telah dilakukan oleh lelaki ini?" (Yohanes 7:25-31) Jesus (PBUH)

"So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, “you know me, and you know whence I come from? But I have not come of my own accord. he who sent me is true, and him you do not know. I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.” ……. yet many of the people believed in him. They said, “When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?" (John: 7: 25-31) Jesus (PBUH)

dia menyatakan bahawa dia ialah seorang utusan yang diutus oleh Tuhan, dan bahawa dia bukanlah orang yang mereka nantikan, kerana mereka tidak mengenali orang itu.

mentioned that he is a messenger sent by God, and that he is not the one they are expecting, because they do not know that one.

Mereka yang telah bercakap dengannya beriman kepadanya, dan mereka memahami bahawa dia bukanlah Mesias yang dinanti-nantikan. Mari kita lihat apa yang dikatakan oleh Yohanes, "Walau bagaimanapun, ramai daripada orang ramai beriman kepadanya. Mereka berkata, 'Apabila Kristus datang, adakah dia akan melakukan lebih banyak tanda daripada yang telah dilakukan oleh orang ini?'" (Yohanes 7:30-31)

Those he had spoken to believed in him, and they understood that he is not the expected messiah. Let us look at what John said, "Yet many of the people believed in him. They said, “When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?" (John: 7:30-31)

Jesus (PBUH) ialah keturunan Daud sebagaimana disebutkan oleh Matius dan Lukas, dan kaumnya berulang kali memanggilnya dengan nama itu. "Dan ketika ia mendengar bahawa itu Yesus dari Nazaret, ia mulai berteriak dan berkata, “Yesus, Anak Daud, kasihanilah aku." (Markus: 10/47), (lihat Matius: 1/1, 20/31) dan Lukas: 18/28, serta banyak ayat lain.

Jesus (PBUH) is a descendant of David as mentioned by Matthew and Luke, and his people repeatedly called him by that name. "And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me." (Mark: 10/47), (see Matthew: 1/1, 20/31) and Luke: 18/28, and many other verses.

Mesias yang dinantikan atau raja yang akan datang bukanlah keturunan Daud, sebagaimana Yesus bersaksi: "Sewaktu orang-orang Farisi berkumpul, Yesus bertanya kepada mereka, katanya, “Apakah pendapatmu tentang Mesias? Anak siapakah dia?” Mereka menjawab, “Anak Daud.” Kata-Nya kepada mereka, “Jika demikian, bagaimanakah Daud oleh Roh menyebut Dia Tuhan, katanya: Firman TUHAN kepada Tuhanku: duduklah di sebelah kanan-Ku, sampai Aku membuat musuh-musuh-Mu menjadi tumpuan kaki-Mu? Jadi jika Daud menyebut Dia Tuhan, bagaimanakah Ia dapat menjadi anaknya?” Dan tidak seorang pun dapat menjawab-Nya sepatah kata pun, dan sejak hari itu tidak ada seorang pun yang berani lagi mengajukan pertanyaan kepada-Nya." (Matius 22:41-46). Yesus ﷺ secara terbuka bersaksi bahwa dia bukanlah mesias yang dinantikan.

The expected messiah or the next king is not a descendant of David, as Jesus testified: "now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, Saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “The Son of David.” He said to them, “How is then that David, in the spirit, call him Lord, saying, “The LORD said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet”? If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?” And no man was able to answer him a word, nor from that day do any one dare to ask him any more questions." (Matthew: 22/41-46). Jesus (PBUH) openly testified that he was not the expected messiah.

Isa tidak boleh memenuhi nubuatan tentang raja besar yang akan datang, dan tidak boleh menjadi raja di atas takhta Daud atau mana-mana orang lain. Beliau adalah keturunan raja yang berdosa "Yehoiakim bin Yosiah", salah seorang datuk Isa sebagaimana disebut dalam Kitab Tawarikh (1).

Jesus (PBUH) cannot fulfill the prophecies of the next great king, and cannot be a king on the throne of David or anyone else. He is a descendant of the sinful king "Jehoiakim son of Josiah", one of Jesus (PBUH) grandfathers as mentioned in the Book of Chronicles (1).

Amon anaknya, Yosia anaknya. Anak-anak Yosia:

"Amon his son, Josiah his son. The sons of Josiah:

Yohanan anak sulung, Yehoyakim anak kedua, Zedekia anak ketiga, Syalum anak keempat." (1 Tawarikh 3:14-15)

Johanan the fristborn, the second Jehoiakim, the third Zedekiah, the fourth Shallum." (Chronicles (1): 3:14-15)

Jehoiakim ialah datuk kepada Jesus (PBUH) (seperti yang disebut dalam Bible Injil), Matius menggugurkan nama Jehoiakim daripada senarai salasilah Jesus, antara Yosia dan cucunya Yekhonya.

Jehoiakim was a grandfather to Jesus (PBUH) (as mentioned in the Holy Bible), Matthew dropped the name Jehoiakim from Jesus’ ancestry list, between Josiah and his grandson Yeknia.

Tuhan melarang kekuasaan dari keturunan Yehoyakim menurut Taurat, "Oleh sebab itu beginilah firman TUHAN tentang Yehoyakim, raja Yehuda: Tidak akan ada seorang pun dari keturunannya yang duduk di atas takhta Daud, dan mayatnya akan dibuang pada waktu siang ke panas terik dan pada waktu malam ke embun beku." (Yeremia 36:30). Bagaimana orang-orang Kristen - yang mendakwa bahawa Yesus (PBUH) adalah keturunan Yekhonya bin Yehoyakim yang berdosa - boleh percaya bahawa orang yang memenuhi nubuat-nubuat ini ialah Yesus (PBUH)?

God forbade the dominion from descendants of Jehoiakim according to the Torah, "Therefore thus says the LORD concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit on the throne of David, and his dead body shall be cast out in the heat by day and the frost by night." (Jeremiah: 36/30). How can the Christians - who claimed that Jesus (PBUH) is a descendant of Yeknia the son of the sinful Jehoiakim - believe that the person who fulfills these prophecies is Jesus (PBUH)?

Merenungi biografi Isa (AS), ucapan-ucapannya dan kebiasaannya, akan membuktikan bahwa beliau bukanlah raja yang akan datang berikutnya ataupun raja yang dinanti-nantikan.

Pondering upon the biography of Jesus (PBUH), his words and his habits, will prove that he was not the next king or the expected king.

Dia tidak pernah menjadi raja bagi Bani Israil walaupun sehari; seruannya tidak mengandungi apa-apa keselamatan duniawi bagi mereka, tidak seperti nabi yang dinanti-nantikan. Sebaliknya, Nabi Isa (PBUH) sering melarikan diri kerana takut akan serangan orang Yahudi; jadi, bagaimana kita boleh membandingkannya dengan raja yang berjaya itu? Raja yang akan mengalahkan musuh-musuhnya dengan kehendak Tuhan, dan yang kepadanya serta kepada bangsanya dunia ini akan tunduk.

He was never a king of the children of Israel even for one day; his message did not contain any secular salvation for them unlike the awaited prophet. Instead, Jesus (PBUH) often escaped fearing the assault of the Jews; so, how can we compare him to the victorious king? The king who will defeat his enemies by the will of God, and whom the planet will bow to and to his nation.

Nabi yang akan datang itu akan menghancurkan dan mengalahkan raja-raja serta bangsa-bangsa pada zamannya, sebagaimana yang disampaikan oleh Yakub. "Tongkat kerajaan tidak akan beranjak dari Yehuda, dan tongkat pemerintah tidak akan lenyap dari antara kakinya, sampai datanglah Syiloh; kepadanyalah takluk bangsa-bangsa." (Kejadian 49:10).

The coming prophet will smash and defeat the kings and nations of his time as told by Jacob. "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s stuff from between his feet, until tribute comes to him; and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples." (Genesis: 49/10).

Nabi Daud berkata tentangnya:

Prophet David said about him:

"Ikatkanlah pedangmu pada pahamu, hai orang yang perkasa, dengan semarak dan kemuliaanmu. Dalam kemuliaanmu majulah dengan jaya demi perkara kebenaran dan kelemahlembutan serta kebenaran; biarlah tangan kananmu mengajarmu perbuatan-perbuatan yang dahsyat. Anak-anak panahmu tajam di hati musuh-musuh raja; bangsa-bangsa tersungkur di bawahmu. Takhtamu, ya Tuhan, tetap selama-lamanya dan sampai selama-lamanya; tongkat kerajaanmu ialah tongkat kebenaran." (Mazmur 45:1-6).

"Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your splendor and majesty. In your majesty ride out victoriously fro the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness; let your right hand teach you awesome deeds. your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; the peoples fall under you. Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. the scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness." (Psalms: 45/1-6).

Jesus (PBUH) membayar cukai kepada orang Rom "ketika mereka tiba di Kapernaum, para pemungut cukai setengah syikal datang kepada Petrus dan berkata, “Tidakkah gurumu membayar cukai?” Ia menjawab, “Ya.” Dan apabila ia masuk ke dalam rumah, Yesus terlebih dahulu berkata kepadanya, Bagaimana pendapatmu, Simon? Daripada siapakah raja-raja dunia memungut bea atau cukai? Dari anak-anak mereka atau dari orang lain?” Dan apabila ia menjawab “dari orang lain,” Yesus berkata kepadanya, Maka anak-anak itu bebas. Namun, supaya kita tidak menjadi batu sandungan bagi mereka, pergilah ke laut, lemparkanlah kail, dan ambillah ikan pertama yang naik; apabila kamu membuka mulutnya, kamu akan mendapati satu syikal. Ambillah itu dan berikanlah kepada mereka untuk Aku dan untuk dirimu.” "(Matius 17:24-27). Bagaimana kita boleh membandingkan seorang pembayar cukai dengan seorang raja yang bangsa-bangsa akan tunduk di bawah kakinya dan mematuhi keputusannya?

Jesus (PBUH) paid his taxes to the Romans "when they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the half-shekel tax went up to peter and said, “does your teacher not pay the tax?” He said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tax? From their sons or from others?” and when he said “from others,” Jesus said to him, Then the sons free. however, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for me and for yourself.” “(Matthew: 17/24-27). How could we compare a taxpayer with a king that nations will fall under his feet and comply with his rulings?

Nabi Isa (PBUH) enggan menjadi hakim antara dua orang; maka, adakah beliau boleh kemudian mendakwa kuasa dan kedaulatan? "Seorang dari orang ramai berkata kepadanya, “Guru, suruhlah saudaraku membahagi harta pusaka denganku.” Tetapi beliau berkata kepadanya, Manusia, siapakah yang melantik aku menjadi hakim atau pengantara ke atas kamu?" (Lukas: 12/13-14).

Jesus (PBUH) refused to be a judge between two men; so, could he then claim authority and dominion? "Someone in the crowd said to him, “teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” But he said to him, Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you? “(Luke: 12/13-14).

Walaupun orang Kristian berdegil bercanggah dengan Bible dengan mengatakan bahawa Jesus (PBUH) ialah raja yang dijanjikan dan menang, yang akan ditaati oleh bangsa-bangsa, dan bahawa semua ini akan berlaku pada kepulangannya yang kedua, malaikat itu menyangkal dakwaan nubuat yang disampaikan kepada Maryam. Dia memberitahu Maryam bahawa Jesus (PBUH) hanyalah seorang raja bagi kaum keturunan Jacob; oleh itu, tahap maksimum kerajaannya ialah bangsa Israel. "Dan ia akan memerintah atas kaum keturunan Yakub selama-lamanya, dan kerajaannya tidak akan berkesudahan." (Lukas: 1/33). Mesias yang dijanjikan "dan kepadanyalah akan ditaati segala bangsa" (Kejadian: 49/10), dan "anak-anak panahmu tajam di hati musuh-musuh raja; bangsa-bangsa rebah di bawahmu." (Mazmur:

Even if the Christians insist in conflicting with the Bible by saying that Jesus (PBUH) is the promised victorious king, the one that nations will obey, and that all this will happen on his second return, the angel refutes this claim’s prophecy mentioned to Mary. He told her that Jesus (PBUH) would only be a king of the house of Jacob; as such, the maximum extent of his kingdom is the nation of Israel. "And he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end." (Luke: 1/33). The promised messiah “and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples” (Genesis: 49/10), and "your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; the peoples fall under you." (Psalms:

45/5). Kerajaan Mesiah yang dijanjikan lebih besar daripada kerajaan Bani Israil.

45/5). The promised messiah’s kingdom is greater than the kingdom of the children of Israel.

Perlu saya nyatakan di sini bahawa janji Tuhan kepada Bani Israil tentang kedatangan raja yang akan duduk di atas takhta Daud itu disertai syarat, iaitu ketaatan mereka kepada Tuhan dan amal perbuatan mereka menurut kehendak-Nya. Begitu juga dengan banyak janji lain kepada mereka. Ini kerana Tuhan Yang Maha Agung tidak memihak kepada mana-mana makhluk-Nya dengan memberikan kepada mereka apa yang tidak layak mereka terima.

I need to Mention here, that God's promise to the children of Israel of the coming king on the throne of David, was with a condition of their obedience to God and to their deeds according to His will. Just like many other promises to them. For, God Almighty does not take side with any of His creatures, giving them what they do not deserve.

Janji itu telah dilanggar berkali-kali, lalu Tuhan menolak mereka selama-lamanya. "Ya Tuhan, mengapa Engkau membuang kami selama-lamanya? Mengapa murka-Mu membara terhadap domba-domba padang rumput-Mu?

The promise has been broken many times, and then God rejected them forever "O God, why do you cast us off forever? Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

"Ingatlah jemaah-Mu, yang telah Engkau miliki sejak dahulu; yang telah Engkau tebus menjadi suku pusaka-Mu. Ingatlah Gunung Sion, tempat Engkau diam." (Mazmur 74:1-2). Tuhan menolak bangsa yang keras dan kejam ini, dan penolakan itu bersifat kekal; raja yang dijanjikan tidak akan berasal dari mereka, kerana mereka tidak menepati perjanjian mereka.

Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old; which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your heritage. Remember Mount Zion, where you have dwelt." (Psalms: 74/1-2), God rejected this tough cruel nation, and the rejection was eternal, the promised king will not be from them, because they did not keep their covenant.

Kisah wanita Samaria mungkin menimbulkan kekeliruan. Ketika dia datang kepada Jesus (PBUH), setelah melihat mukjizat-mukjizatnya dan mendengar kata-katanya, dia memberitahu beliau bahawa dia percaya bahawa Mesias akan datang, lalu beliau menjawabnya bahawa beliaulah Mesias. {"Perempuan itu berkata kepadanya, 'Aku tahu bahawa Mesias akan datang (yang disebut Kristus).'"}

The story of the Samaritan woman may create confusion. When she went to Jesus (PBUH), seeing his miracles and hearing his words, she told him that she believed that the messiah will come, and he answered her that he is the messiah, "The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ).

Apabila dia datang, dia akan memberitahu kami segala perkara. Jesus berkata kepadanya, "Akulah yang sedang bercakap dengan kamu ini." (Yohanes: 4/25-26).

When he comes, he will tell us all things. Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he." (John: 4/25-26).

Saya tidak ragu bahawa frasa ini adalah rekaan. Teks ini bercanggah dengan kebiasaan Nabi Isa (PBUH), kerana tiada seorang pun daripada murid-murid - termasuk Yohanes yang menulis kisah itu - yang mendengar perbualan itu. Mereka tidak tahu apakah topik perbualan antara mereka.

I have no doubt that this phrase is a fabrication. The text contradicts the habits of Jesus (PBUH), because none of the disciples - including John who wrote the story - had heard the conversation. They did not know what the subject of the conversation between them was.

"Yesus berkata kepadanya, “Akulah yang sedang berbicara denganmu ini.” Tidak lama kemudian, murid-murid-Nya kembali. Mereka heran melihat Dia berbicara dengan seorang perempuan, tetapi tidak seorang pun berkata, “Apa yang Engkau cari?” atau, “Mengapa Engkau berbicara dengan dia?” (Yohanes 4:26-27), sehingga mereka tidak benar-benar mendengar percakapan mereka dan tidak bertanya kepada-Nya tentang apa yang terjadi di antara keduanya."

"Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he. Just then, his disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you seek?” or, “Why are you talking with her?" (John: 4/26-27), so they never really heard there conversation and they did not ask him about what went on between them.

Bukti yang paling jelas bahawa kisah itu rekaan ialah wanita itu, yang telah menyaksikan mukjizat-mukjizatnya dan Jesus (PBUH) berkata kepadanya apa yang mereka dakwakan, tidak percaya bahawa Jesus (PBUH) ialah Mesias yang dinantikan. Dia tidak pernah mendengar perkara itu daripadanya. Jika dia mendengarnya, tentulah dia akan percaya; sebaliknya, dia pergi dan mula menyebarkan berita tentang kedatangannya. Dia sendiri tidak yakin bahawa dia ialah Mesias yang dinantikan.

The clearest evidence proving that the story is a fabrication is that the woman, who saw his miracles and Jesus (PBUH) said to her what they claimed, did not believe that Jesus (PBUH) is the expected messiah. She never heard that from him. If she did hear it she would have believed; instead, she left and started to spread the news about his coming. She was not certain that he was the expected messiah.

"Maka perempuan itu meninggalkan tempayannya, lalu pergi ke kota dan berkata kepada orang-orang, Marilah, lihatlah seorang yang telah memberitahu aku segala yang pernah aku lakukan. Mungkinkah dia ini Kristus?" (Yohanes 4:28-29).

“So the woman left her water jar, and went a way into town and said to the people, Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?" (John: 4/28-29).

Oleh itu, adalah sangat jelas bahawa Nabi Isa (PBUH) tidak mendakwa bahawa dirinya ialah Mesias yang dinanti-nantikan, walaupun orang-orang sezamannya mendakwa demikian, mereka yang merindukan kedatangan penyelamat agung yang diutuskan oleh Tuhan untuk mengalahkan musuh-musuhnya. Dalam bukunya "Jesus", Boltman benar apabila beliau berkata:- "Jesus tidak menganggap dirinya Mesias". Ramai sarjana moden bersetuju dengannya, sebagaimana diceritakan oleh Uskup Bernar Bartman, mereka berkata:- "Jesus tidak menganggap dirinya Mesias; murid-muridlah yang memberikan gelaran ini kepadanya selepas kematian dan kebangkitannya, gelaran yang sangat ditolaknya semasa hidupnya di bumi".

Accordingly, it is very clear that Jesus (PBUH) did not claim that he was the expected messiah, even if his contemporaries claimed this to be so, those who longed for the arrival of the great savior sent by God to defeat his enemies. In his book "Jesus", Boltman was correct when he said:- "Jesus did not consider himself the messiah". Many modern scholars agreed with him, as told by Bishop Bernar Bartman, they said:- “Jesus did not consider himself the messiah; it is the disciples who gave him this title after his death and resurrection, a title that he strongly rejected during his life on earth".

Kami akhiri dengan apa yang dikatakan oleh Charles Gene Pier, "Kesimpulan tegas daripada kajian penyelidik ialah, Nabi Isa tidak pernah mendakwa bahawa dia ialah Mesias yang dijanjikan, dan dia tidak pernah menyebut dirinya sebagai Anak Tuhan".

We conclude with what Charles Gene Pier said, "The firm conclusion of the researcher’s studies is that, Jesus never claimed that he is the expected messiah, and he never called himself the Son of God".
