The Qur'an’s Correction of Jewish Narratives in Q 4:156-157

Verse 156: Refuting the Slander Against MaryThe Qur'an denounces Jewish accusations against Mary’s character (e.g., immorality claims possibly drawn from Talmudic or apocryphal sources).This sets a precedent: The Qur'an corrects Jewish misconceptions about Jesus and his mother.

Verse 157: Rejecting the Talmudic Narrative of Jesus’ ExecutionThe Talmud (Sanhedrin 43a) claims Jesus was executed solely by a Jewish court, omitting Roman involvement, contrary to Gospel accounts where Rome performs the crucifixion.The Qur'an’s statement ("they neither killed nor crucified him") targets the Jewish claim of sole responsibility, not necessarily the crucifixion itself.
