                                    This admission of the Synoptics confirms the271statement in the Gospel of Barnabas, where Jesus (pbuh) is reported to have added that the Covenant will be fulfilled with the “Shiloah: -the Apostle of Allah- who will come fromthe family ofIshmael. Forthisreason, theTalmudists describe Jesus (pbuh) as “the second Balaam” -that is, the Prophet who prophesies for the benefit of the heathen at the expense of the “chosen people.”It is quite clear, therefore, that the Jewish reception to, or their rejection of, Jesus (pbuh) was not the conditionsine qua non to determine the nature of his mission.

In no way whatever the Barnasha therein described can be identified with any of the Macca-bees’ heroes or with Jesus (pbuh) ; nor can the terrible
