verse46

(46) وَقَفَّيْنَا عَلَى آثَارِهِم بِعَيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَآتَيْنَاهُ

الإِنجِيلَ فِيهِ هُدًى وَنُورٌ وَمُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَهُدًى وَمَوْعِظَةً لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ

46. " And following them We sent Jesus son of Mary, confirming that which was before him of the Turah, and We gave him the Evangel in which was guidance and light, and confirming what was before it of the Turah, and a guidance and an admonition for the pious ones."

Commentary:
Following to the verses concerning the Turah, this verse refers to the condition of the Eveangel. It denotes that next to the former prophets, Allah sent jesus. He (a.s.) confessed the rightfulness and legitimacy of the Turah. The signs of Jesus (a.s.) were completely adapted to those which were given in the Turah. It says:
" And following them We sent Jesus son of Mary, confirming that which was before him of the Turah, ..."
Then, it adds:
"... and We gave him the Evangel in which was guidance and light, ..."
The acceptance of these two Books as ' light ' by the Qur'an, is an indication to the original Turah and the original Eveangel.
The verse emphasizes once more on this fact that not only Jesus, the son of Mary, confirmed the Turah, but also the Eveangel, the heavenly Books, is a confirmation to the Turah. It says:
"...and confirming what was before it of the Turah ..."
Then, the holy Qur'an concludes the verse thus:
"...and a guidance and an admonition for the pious ones."
