(٦٦)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?have kept Lazarus from dying? Jesus was still terriblyupset.” (John 11/37-38. Contemp<strong>or</strong>ary Engl<strong>is</strong>h Version)At other times, the Phar<strong>is</strong>ees asked him f<strong>or</strong> signs, and he (PBUH)could not <strong>or</strong> did not do them. “The Phar<strong>is</strong>ees came out andstarted an argument with Jesus. They wanted to test him byasking f<strong>or</strong> a sign from heaven. Jesus groaned and said,"Why are you always looking f<strong>or</strong> a sign? I can prom<strong>is</strong>e youthat you will not be given <strong>one</strong>!” (Mark 8/11-12).When the crowd of the Jews gathered asking him (PBUH) f<strong>or</strong> a sign,he did not respond. Instead, he said, “Jesus replied: You want asign because you are evil and won't believe! But the onlysign you will get <strong>is</strong> the sign of the prophet Jonah” (Matthew.12/38-39).M<strong>or</strong>eover, if what Jesus (PBUH) was doing and perf<strong>or</strong>ming wereevidence of h<strong>is</strong> divinity, why did he ask people to hide it, even thoughit was the way, which people will know h<strong>is</strong> identity? Jesus (PBUH)said to the leprous that he healed, “Don't tell any<strong>one</strong> aboutth<strong>is</strong>.” (Mark 1/44),Regarding the healing of the two blind people, Matthew said, “andJesus strictly warned them not to tell any<strong>one</strong> about him.”(Matthew 9/31 International Standard Version) Jesus (PBUH) alsosaid to a third blind man, when he healed him, "Don't go into thevillage <strong>or</strong> tell any<strong>one</strong> in the village.” (Mark 8/26).He (PBUH) said that frequently: “Jesus, aware of th<strong>is</strong>, withdrewfrom there. And many followed him, and he healed themall. and <strong>or</strong>dered them not to make him known.” (Matthew12/15-16). By hiding h<strong>is</strong> miracles, Jesus (PBUH) did not want thepeople to be occupied by h<strong>is</strong> miracles and f<strong>or</strong>get h<strong>is</strong> real m<strong>is</strong>sion. If itwas evidence of h<strong>is</strong> divinity , he should have told them.Miracles Do Not Indicate - Acc<strong>or</strong>ding to the Bible– Prophethood, Never Mind DivinityI wonder that Chr<strong>is</strong>tians consider Jesus’ (PBUH) miracles asevidence of h<strong>is</strong> divinity, since the Holy Bible declares that otherpeople had perf<strong>or</strong>med such great miracles, without considering thatas evidence of their divinity.
