Kitab-i-Badi/English558

O ignorant, listen! But Isa bin Maryam, from the beginning of his mission, spent most of his days in the temple talking to the leaders of the Jews, and preached without piety, as it is recorded in the books and you have not seen it. The text of the Bible is when that holy spirit [297] was taken in the assembly of one of the Jewish scholars, who was called Hanas, and he asked the Holy Prophet what is your word and what are you saying? Hazrat said why are you asking me? Ask the crowd of Jews whether I did not say a word in private, but what I said I said in the temple and in the assembly of the Jews. Then one of the soldiers who was present in that assembly shot a pistol in the face of Mubarak Hazrat saying, "Why are you talking to the high priest so rudely?"
