圣经中用来指先知穆罕默德（愿主福安之）的名字之一是“以利亚”，按照希伯来数字学（Gematria）计算，其数值为53。

One of the names that the Holy Bible uses referring to the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is "Elijah", and according to Gematria is equal to 53. 2

这也是神在公元前九世纪派遣给以色列子孙的一位伟大先知的名字，他在《古兰经》中的名字是伊利亚斯。

It is also a name of a great prophet sent by God to the Children of Israel in the ninth century (BC), whose name in the Quran is Elias.

先知玛拉基在他的这本小书中谈到了以色列后裔的悖逆，以及以利亚，或即将到来的新以利亚，这一位与七个世纪前去世的以利亚（Elias）不同。

The prophet Malachi in his short book talks about the disobedience of the Children of Israel and about Elijah or the new coming Elijah, who is different from Elias who died seven centuries before.

玛拉基书记载，上帝说："看哪，我要差遣我的使者，他必在我面前预备道路。你们所寻求的主必忽然来到他的殿中；你们所喜悦的立约使者必要来到，这是万军之耶和华说的。当他来的日子，谁能当得起呢？他显现的时候，谁能站立得住呢？因为他如同炼金之火，又如同漂布之碱。"（玛拉基书 3:1-2）

Malachi said that God said, "Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple, and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight: behold, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts. But who can endure the day of his coming? and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:" (Malachi: 3/1-2).

《玛拉基书》中的经文谈到两位先知。

The text in the prophet Malachi's scripture talks about two prophets.

其中一位是为从神而来的那一位铺平道路的人。第二位是将突然来到圣殿的人，他称其为主人和立约的使者，正是以色列子民所寻求并期待的那一位。

One of them is the one who paves the road for the one that is coming from God. The second one is the one who will suddenly come to the temple, and he names him the master and the angel of the covenant, and that is the one that the Children of Israel are seeking and waiting for.

玛拉基在书中仍然谈论那位被期待的先知，以及以色列后裔的篡改与否认，他在书的末尾说："你们要记念我仆人摩西的律法，就是我在何烈布为全体以色列人吩咐他的律例和典章。

Malachi, while he still talking about the expected prophet and about the Children of Israel's alteration and denial, says at the end of his book,: "Remember the law of my servant Moses, the statutes and rules that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel.

「看哪，耶和华大而可畏之日未到以前，我必差遣先知以利亚到你们那里去。」（玛拉基书 4:4-5）

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the LORD:" (Malachi: 4/4-5).

玛拉基在提醒他们摩西在何烈山上的诫命之后,预告了下一位先知以利亚。何烈山正是摩西(愿主赐他平安)曾在那里提到,将有一位像他一样的先知兴起于以色列子孙的兄弟之中。注释者在《这一代的杰作》一书中说:"玛拉基书末尾提到的使者以利亚是一个谜,他是末世将要降临的拉比。"1

Malachi called the next prophet Elijah after he reminded them about Moses’ commandment on the mountain of Horeb, the mountain on which Moses (PBUH) mentioned the coming of a prophet like him among the brothers of Children of Israel. The interpreter who wrote "The masterpiece of the generation" says:- "The messenger Elijah, who was mentioned at the end of Malachi's Book, is a puzzle, and he is the rabbi of the world who will come at the end of time". 1

基督徒认为为主修路的先知是施洗者约翰，据说他名叫以利亚。马可福音中写道："正如先知以赛亚书上所记：'看哪，我要差遣我的使者在你前面，他要为你预备道路。'"

Christians think that the prophet who paved the road is John the Baptist whose name was Elijah, in the text in Mark says: "As it is written in Isaiah the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way.

“旷野有人声喊着说：‘预备主的道，修直他的路。’”约翰在旷野施洗，传悔改的洗礼，使罪得赦。犹太全地和耶路撒冷的众人都出来到他那里，承认自己的罪，在约旦河里被他施洗。约翰身穿驼毛衣，腰束皮带，所吃的是蝗虫和野蜜。他传道说：“在我以后有一位能力比我更大的要来，我给他解鞋带，我都不配。我是用水给你们施洗，他要用圣灵给你们施洗。”那些日子，耶稣从加利利的拿撒勒来，在约旦河里受约翰的洗。（马可福音 1:2-9）这也是路加记载耶稣（愿主赐他平安）所说的话。

The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “prepare they way of the lord, make his paths straight,” John appeared baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins. And all the country of Judaea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Now John was clothed with camel's hair, and wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey. And he preached, saying, after me comes he who is mightier than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. I have baptized you with water: but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit. In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan." (Mark: 1/2-9), which is what Luke told quoting Jesus (PBUH):

“那么,你们出去是要看什么呢?是先知吗?是的,我告诉你们,他比先知更大。经上记着说:‘看哪,我要差遣我的使者在你前面预备你的道路。’我告诉你们,在妇人所生的人中,没有一个比约翰更大的;然而,在神的国里,最小的一位也比他大。”(路加福音 7:26-28)

“What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you. I tell you; among those born of women, none is greater than John: yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. “(Luke: 7/26- 28).

因此，按照基督徒的说法，为主修路的是施洗约翰，而被预备道路的，是耶稣（愿主赐他平安）。

Therefore, according to Christians, the one who will prepare the road is John the Baptist, and the one whom the road is prepared for is Jesus (PBUH).

他们认为第一个人是以利亚，依据是马太福音中引述耶稣（愿主赐他平安）谈论施洗约翰时所说的话："你们出去是要看什么呢？是要看先知吗？我告诉你们，还不止是先知。经上记着说：'看哪，我要差遣我的使者在你前面，他要为你预备道路。'我实在告诉你们，凡妇人所生的，没有一个比施洗的约翰大的；然而天国里最小的，比他还大。从施洗约翰的日子直到如今，天国是努力进入的，努力的人就得着它。因为众先知和律法，直到约翰都说预言了。你们若肯领受，他就是那应当来的以利亚。有耳可听的，就应当听。"（马太福音 11:9-15）

They consider the first one to be Elijah due to what Matthew said quoting Jesus (PBUH) in the course of his talk about John the Baptist: "what then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you. Truly, I say to you, among those born of women, none is greater than John: yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah, who is to come. He who has ears to hear, let him hear." (Matthew: 11/9-15).

马太福音中还提到，耶稣（愿主赐他平安）说："门徒问耶稣说：‘文士为什么说以利亚必须先来呢？’耶稣回答说：‘以利亚固然要来，并且要复兴万事。但我告诉你们，以利亚已经来了，人却不认识他，任意待他。人子也要这样被他们害了。’那时门徒明白，耶稣是指着施洗约翰对他们说的。"（马太福音 17:10-13）

Matthew also mentioned that Jesus (PBUH) said: "And the disciples asked him, “then why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come? He answered, Elijah does come, and he will restore all things. But I tell you, That Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they pleased. So also the Son of man will certainly suffer at their hands. Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist." (Matthew: 17/10-13).

因此,基督徒相信,预言者、即预备道路的那一位,是施洗约翰;而被预言者、即为其预备道路的那一位,是耶稣。事实上,以利亚是被期待之先知的象征,而不是为他预备道路之先知的象征。

Therefore, Christians believe that the prophesier, the one who will prepare the road, is John the Baptist, and the prophesized, the one whom the road is prepared for is Jesus (PBUH). The fact is that Elijah was a symbol for the expected prophet and not to the prophet who prepared the road for him.

在揭示这一预言的真相之前，我们必须提醒读者注意，其中一些文本已经发生了变动。在《玛拉基书》中，经文说的是“立约的使者”，而旧译本中的译法是：“割礼的使者”；另外，现代译本中也是这样写的：

Before we unveil the truth of this prophecy, we must alert readers to the alterations that have happened in some of these texts. In Malachi he says "the covenant angel", which is in the old translations: "the messenger of Circumcision", also in the modern translation he says:

“我要差遣我的使者”，而在旧译本中为“我要差遣我的使者”，在一些版本中为“主人将要来到”，在另一些版本中为“守护者”，在另一版本中为“以利亚”。

"I will send my angel" but in the old translation "I will send my messenger", and in some editions "the master will come", but in some others "the Guardian", and in another "Elijah".

在福音书的文本中，对玛拉基书所引经文作了改动。玛拉基书用的是第一人称宾格代词“我”，即“他要在我面前预备道路”，而在福音书中，这个代词变成了指耶稣的第二人称宾格代词“你”，即“他要在你面前预备道路”。

In the Gospel’s text, there is an alteration made to the quotes from Malachi who used the first person object pronoun “Me” “he shall prepare the way before me ", but in the Gospels the pronoun became the third person object pronoun “You” referring to Jesus " he shall prepare the way before thee”.

我们也可以清楚地看到,福音书作者声称耶稣认为施洗约翰是为他的使命作准备的人,这时,变更已经触及耶稣(愿主赐他平安)和施洗约翰的话语。"看哪,我要差遣我的使者在你前面,他要为你预备道路。"(路加福音 7/26),并且他称他为应当来的以利亚。"但我告诉你们,以利亚已经来过了,他们并不认识他,反而任意待他。人子也要这样被他们害。那时,门徒明白他是指施洗约翰对他们说的。"(马太福音 17/12-13)。

We can also see clearly, that the alterations have reached the words of Jesus (PBUH) and the Baptist when the Evangelists claim that Jesus considered the Baptist to be the one who prepared for his message. "Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way. " (Luke: 7/26), and that he called him the expected Elijah "But I tell you, that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they pleased. So also, the Son of man will certainly suffer at their hands. Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist."(Matthew: 17/12-13).

这样说是一种篡改：他们称施洗者说，他预言将要来的那位有能力的，就是耶稣（愿主赐予他平安）。"约翰回答他们说：我是用水施洗，但在你们中间站着一位你们不认识的，就是在我以后来的那位，我不配替他解鞋带。这些事发生在约旦河东岸的伯大尼，就是约翰施洗的地方。第二天，他看见耶稣向他走来，就说：看哪，这是神的羔羊，他除去世人的罪。这就是我所说的那位：在我以后有一人来，他比我更尊贵，因为他在我以前就已存在。我先前并不认识他，但我来用水施洗，是为要叫他显明给以色列人。"

It is an alteration when they said that the Baptist told that the strong one that he prophesized of his coming, is Jesus (PBUH). "John answered them, I baptize with water: but among you stands one you do not know; even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie. These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing. The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me. I myself did not knew him , but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.

约翰作证说:"我看见圣灵像鸽子从天降下,停留在他身上。我先前并不认识他,但那差我用水施洗的,曾对我说:你看见圣灵降下,停留在谁身上,谁就是用圣灵施洗的。我已经看见了,并且作证说,这位就是神的儿子。" 第二天,约翰又和他的两个门徒站在那里。他看见耶稣走过,就说:"看哪,神的羔羊!"两个门徒听见他这话,就跟从了耶稣。耶稣转身看见他们跟着,就对他们说:"你们要找什么?"他们说:"拉比(就是夫子的意思),你住在哪里?"耶稣说:"你们来看吧。"他们就来看耶稣住的地方,那一天便同他住在那里。

And John bore witness, “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained of him. I myself did not knew him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, said to me, he on whom you see the Spirit descend, and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy spirit. And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God. the next day again John was standing with two of his disciples; And he looked at Jesus he walked by and said, “Behold the Lamb of God! the two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you seeking? And they said to him, Rabbi, (which means teacher) where are you staying? He said to them, Come and you will see. So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day:

因为那时大约是第十个小时。听到约翰讲话并跟随耶稣的两人中，其中一个是西门·彼得的兄弟安德烈。（约翰福音 1:26-40）

for it was about the tenth hour. One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother." (John: 1/26-40).

我们所说的篡改，并不是说这些经文不符合我们要证明的论点。而是说，施洗者约翰否认自己是先知以利亚。以利亚本应为即将到来的主预备道路。当犹太人派来的祭司和利未人从耶路撒冷到他那里去问他时，他否认了这一点。"这是约翰的见证。当时犹太人从耶路撒冷差遣祭司和利未人到约翰那里，问他说：你是谁？他就明明地认了，并不隐讳，明明地认了说：我不是基督。他们又问他：这样，你是谁呢？是以利亚吗？他说：我不是。是那先知吗？他回答说：不是。"（约翰福音 1:19-21）这是一个明确的承认：约翰否认自己是那将预备道路的以利亚，也否认自己是所期待的弥赛亚，或所期待的先知。

Our claim of the alterations is not to say that the texts did not agree with the issue that we are trying to prove. It is that John the Baptist denied that he is the prophet Elijah. Elijah, who was supposed to prepare the way for the coming master, The Baptist denied it when the priests and the Levites Jewish messengers came to him "And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, who are you? He confessed, and did not deny; but confessed, I am not the Christ. And they asked him, What then? Are you Elijah? He said, I am not. Are you the prophet? And he answered, no." (John: 1/19-21), this is a clear confession where John denies that he is Elijah who will prepare the road, and that he is neither the expected messiah nor the expected prophet.

这一承认使我们面临三种选择。要么耶稣说以利亚已经来了是在撒谎，要么施洗约翰否认自己是以利亚时是在撒谎，要么我们应当说门徒没有明白耶稣的话。最后一种分析更有可能，因为马太犯了一个错误，他说："门徒才明白他是指着施洗约翰对他们说的。"他们以为自己明白了，实际上却并不明白。他是在对他们谈论他自己。"看哪，我要差遣我的使者，在我面前预备道路。你们所寻求的主必忽然来到他的殿中；你们所仰望的立约的使者也必到来。"(SWT)

This confession leaves us with three choices. Either Jesus lied when he said that Elijah had come, that the Baptist lied when he denied that he was Elijah or we should say that the disciples did not understand the words of Jesus (PBUH). The last analysis is more likely, as Matthew made a mistake when he said, "Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist ". They thought that they understood, but in fact, they did not. He was talking to them about himself " Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple, and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight:

“看哪，他要来了，这是万军之耶和华说的。”此外，以利亚的描述也与施洗约翰不相符，因为他是在耶稣之后出现的，正如耶稣所说的那样：“以利亚已经来了”；而耶稣与施洗约翰是同时代的人。

behold, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts.” In addition, the description of Elijah does not match that of the Baptist, because he comes after Jesus, as Jesus said about him: "Elijah expected to be come" but Jesus and the Baptist were contemporaries.

当以利亚降临时，他"将恢复一切"，"他要使父亲的心转向儿女，儿女的心转向父亲"。关于施洗约翰本人，并没有这样的记载。据马太福音所说，他住在旷野，以蝗虫和野蜜为食，衣服是用骆驼毛做的，他所做的最好的事，就是为前来悔改的人施洗。（参见马太福音 3:1-5）。

When Elijah comes, he "will return everything", and "And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers". There is no report about the Baptist as such. The one who, according to Matthew, lived in the desert, feeding on Locusts and honey, and his clothing was made of camel skin, and the best thing he did was to baptize whoever came to him repenting. (See Matthew: 3/1-5).

不可能接受施洗者是耶稣的前奏这一说法。根据福音书，施洗者在去世前并不知道耶稣的真相，他曾派遣门徒去询问耶稣ﷺ。 Wait: the rule says ﷺ only after the Prophet Muhammad, never after Jesus. "(PBUH)" is a written-out honorific form for Jesus, which per rule should be dropped or kept as words. Correct version: 不可能接受施洗者是耶稣的前奏这一说法。根据福音书，施洗者在去世前并不知道耶稣的真相，他曾派遣门徒去询问耶稣（愿他平安）。

It is impossible to accept that the Baptist was a prelude to Jesus. The Baptist, according to the Gospels, before his death did not know the truth about Jesus, and he sent his disciples to ask Jesus (PBUH)

“他们对他说：‘那将要来的是你吗？还是我们要等候别人呢？’”（马太福音 11:3）

"And said to him, Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?" (Matthew: 11/3).

他怎么可能在这个时候被派遣，而他自己却不知道关于他的真相？约翰在耶稣降临之前做了什么？

How could it be that he was sent at this time, when he did not know the truth about him? What did John do before the coming of Jesus?

这句话是问题本身，需要翻译，而不是回答。以下为译文： 他是否做了与耶稣的使命相关、而福音书所宣称的事情？

Did he do something related to Jesus’ mission that the Gospels are claiming?

关于施洗者约翰，除了宣讲天国的预言之外，没有任何记载。这与耶稣在他之后所做的一样。（参见马太福音 3:1）。他为那些来到他面前、承认自己罪过的人施洗。（参见马太福音 3:6）。耶稣也是这样做的。这证实了他们传达的是同一个信息，即预言并讲述先知穆罕默德ﷺ，这位天国的先知。正如经上所说："但耶稣对他们说：‘我也必须对别的城镇传讲神国的福音，因为我奉差遣原是为此。’"（路加福音 4:34）。他被差遣来传报即将到来之国度的喜讯。

There is no report on The Baptist other than giving the prophecy of the kingdom, the same as what Jesus (PBUH) did after him. (See Matthew: 3/1). He used to baptize those who came to him confessing about their sins. (See Matthew: 3/6), and that is what Jesus did. That confirms that they had the same message that was to prophesize and tell about the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) the prophet of the kingdom. As he said: "but he said to them, I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to other towns as well: for I was sent for this purpose. " (Luke: 4/34), he was sent to give good news of the next kingdom.

事实上，浸信会与耶稣所传的是同一个信息。他们两者都被派来宣讲那位最后的先知。

The fact is that the Baptists and Jesus (PBUH) came with the same message. Both of them were sent to preach about the final prophet.

他们是最后的先知的传道者。马太称之为天国，正如先知施洗约翰宣讲那位被期待的先知即将来临的时刻，"那些日子，施洗的约翰出来，在犹太的旷野传道，说：你们当悔改，因为天国近了。"（马太福音 3:1-2）

they were preachers of the final prophet, which Matthew called the Heavens Kingdom, as the prophet John the Baptist preached about the closeness of expected prophet’s time, "In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. " (Matthew: 3/1- 2).

约翰施洗之后,耶稣重新宣讲天国的福音,"从那时起,耶稣开始传道,说:你们要悔改,因为天国近了。"(马太福音 4:17)"耶稣走遍加利利,在各会堂里教训人,宣讲天国的福音。"(马太福音 4:23)

After the death of John the Baptist Jesus renewed the good news of the kingdom, "and from that time Jesus began to preach, saying, repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matthew: 4/17), "And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom." (Matthew: 4/23).

此外,他吩咐门徒传播天国将近的好消息,所以他说:"你们行走的时候,要传讲说:天国近了。"(马太福音:

Moreover, he ordered his disciples to give the good news of the closeness of the kingdom’s time, so he said, "And proclaim as you go, saying, the kingdom of heaven is at hand." (Matthew:

10/7），他们传达的是同一个信息，那就是宣讲并为那位被期待的先知铺平道路。

10/7), they had the same message, and that is to preach and prepare the road to the expected prophet.

这些描述不仅与施洗者不符，也与耶稣不符。施洗者说：

Not only did these descriptions not match the Baptist, but also did not match Jesus (PBUH) the Baptist said:

“我以水为你们施洗，使你们悔改；但那在我以后来的，比我更有能力，我不配提他的鞋。他要用圣灵和火为你们施洗。他手里拿着簸箕，要扬净他的禾场，把麦子收在仓里，把糠秕用不灭的火烧尽。”

"I baptize you with water for repentance, but he, who is coming after me is mightier than I. Whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire: his winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, and gather his wheat into the barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.

"然后耶稣从加利利来到约旦河，到约翰那里，要受他的洗礼。"（马太福音 3:11-13）

Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him." (Matthew: 3/11-13).

那位被预告带来佳音的先知，将以圣灵和火施洗。耶稣（愿主赐他平安）在世时从未亲自给人施洗，尽管这一说法在民间广为流传，但事实并非如此。他的门徒是奉他的名施洗的。"法利赛人听见耶稣收的门徒和施洗的，比约翰还多（其实耶稣并不亲自施洗，乃是他的门徒施洗），"（约翰福音）

The expected prophet that had the good news would baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire. While Jesus (PBUH) never baptized anyone during his life, even though this was spread among the people, but in reality, he did not. His disciples did it in his name "now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John, (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples,)" (John:

4/1-2).

4/1-2).

施洗约翰也提到，那位被期待的先知将以圣灵和火施洗。这意味着他将掌管宗教与生活，以纠正错误并鼓励悔改。

The Baptist also mentioned that the expected prophet would baptize with spirit and fire. Meaning that he will have the control over religion and life, in order to change the wrong and encourage repentance.

他不会止步于用水清洗身体的外在洁净，而是关注内在的洁净；他用来达成这一点的工具，是圣灵（加百列）所带来的启示、信息与阐释，正如他曾以火净化了大地上许多地方的异教信仰。

He would not stop at the external cleansing of washing the body with water, but he pays attention to internal cleansing, and his tool to do this is what the Holy Spirit (Gabriel) comes with, revelation, information and explanation, as he cleansed with fire many places on earth from paganism.

这种洗礼并非耶稣所施行。耶稣（愿主赐他平安）的门徒为他施洗，用的是水；他的传道，是对施洗约翰之洗礼的延续。这乃是传讲悔改和赦罪的好消息，因为耶稣在被钉十字架和复活之后，吩咐他的每一位门徒说："并且要奉他的名，将悔改赦罪的道传给万民，从耶路撒冷起首。"（路加福音 24:47）因此，他的洗礼（愿主赐他平安）与施洗约翰的洗礼并无不同。（参见约翰福音 3:22-23）。

Such baptism was not performed by Jesus (PBUH), whom his disciples baptized with water, and where his preaching was a continuation of the baptism of the Baptist. That is to give the good news about repentance and forgiveness of sins, for Jesus, after the crucifixion and resurrection, asked everyone of his disciples "And that the repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem." (Luke: 24/47), so his baptism (PBUH) was not different from the baptism of the Baptist. (See John: 3/22-23).

他的门徒在他之后继续像施洗者约翰一样用水施洗。保罗到以弗所去的时候，“在那里遇见几个门徒，就问他们说，你们信的时候，领受了圣灵没有？他们说，我们并没有听见有圣灵的话。保罗说，这么说，你们受的是什么洗？他们说，是约翰的洗。保罗说，约翰施悔改的洗，叫百姓信那在他以后来的，就是耶稣。他们听见了，便奉主耶稣的名受洗。”（使徒行传 19:1-5）。如果耶稣（愿主赐他平安）施行的洗礼与施洗者的不同，那么这种洗礼本应为门徒所熟知并广为流传。

His disciples continued after him to baptize with water like John the Baptist, and when Paul went to Ephesus, “and there he found some disciples, and he said to them, did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? And they said, no, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit. And he said, into what then were you baptized? They said, into John's baptism. And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus. On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus." (Acts: 19/1-5). If Jesus (PBUH) had a baptism different from the Baptist’s, then it should have been well known and spread among the disciples.

施洗者也描述了所期待的先知比他更有能力。耶稣的讯息和生平中,并没有任何显示这种能力的迹象。施洗者约翰和耶稣都没有带来新的律法,也不是他们民众的君王,两人从未拥有任何影响力或权威。他们不仅没有权力,基督徒还错误地声称他们都被杀害了!施洗者所提到的那种能力在哪里呢?

The Baptist also described the expected prophet as stronger than him. There was nothing about the message or the life of Jesus that indicated such strength. Both John the Baptist and Jesus did not come with a new Law, nor were they kings over their people, and both of them never had any influence or authority. Not only had they no power, but also Christians, falsely, claim that they were both killed! Where is the strength that the Baptist mentioned?

此外,耶稣(愿主福安之)并不符合施洗约翰关于所期待的先知所作的论断。"他手里拿着簸箕,要扬净他的场,把麦子收在仓里,糠秕却要用不灭的火烧尽。"这是一个比喻,威廉·埃迪博士对此的解释是:

Moreover, Jesus (PBUH) did not match the Baptist’s statement about the expected prophet. “Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.". That is a metaphor, which Dr. William Edie explained as:

"这是一个隐喻，表明整个使命的终结，并且这一隐喻可能暗示了神对人民的惩戒，以及神在今世对他们的报复。事实上，它的含义还不止于此，因为它阐明了神将律法赐予其先知时所具有的净化之力，以及与之相关的一切。"

"it is a metaphor indicating the end of the whole mission, and it is possible that this metaphor was an indication of God's discipline of the people and his revenge on them in this life". In fact, it goes further than that, as it explains the power that purifies God’s giving of the Law to his prophets, and whatever was associated with it.

基于此，所期待的先知是穆罕默德ﷺ，他是唯一一位在夜行时乘坐（布拉格）飞往圣殿、突然来到圣地和圣殿的人；而耶稣和约翰则是在圣殿所在的地区长大的。
