The texts of the Gospel tell that Jesus is a Prophet and not a god:

1.     When the Jews wanted Jesus (peace be upon him) to go out of Jerusalem, he said: “for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee.”[1] Thus, Jesus (peace be upon him) describes himself as a Prophet and he will go out of Jerusalem, for prophets are not killed by others outside it.[2]

2.     Jesus blames his people for not believing him, saying: “Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.”[3] This is an admission on the part of Jesus (peace be upon him) that he is a Prophet and the Jews did not accept him. Here he informs us of what happens to him and the hardships the Prophets who preceded him experienced because of their people. He says: “A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.”[4]

3.     When Jesus (peace be upon him) arrived at the city, the multitude came out shouting: “Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord… This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.”[5] So, his contemporaries and the people most acquainted with him did not claim that he was a god or the son of Allah, but they said (Jesus the Prophet).

4.     After Jesus (peace be upon him) had brought the dead person back to life before the audience, they said: “That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.”[6] So, they witness the miracle of his Prophethood and admit that he is a Prophet and do not say that since he has brought the dead back to life he must be a god.

5.     The story of the miracle of the loaves that happened in the presence of 5000 Jews that gathered to meet Jesus in Galilee. We observe that the multitudes admit that Jesus was one of the Prophets.[7] When the people witnessed the miracle they said: “This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.”[8]
