Riwayat Attubani-Watch video "Mary as described in the Quran" before reading this article
Please bounder on this: why the first miracle of Jesus (peace be upon him) - shown in above video - is omitted from the bible. Is it because of what he said?
Stoning for adultery was practiced by Jews at the time. Please reflect : why Mary was not killed by stoning if Jews claim Jesus is not the Messiah, and born by infidelity?
Did the above video provide adequate answers to both questions?

We present here some traditions attributed to prophet Jesus (pbuh), in which he speaks of Prophets, Muhammad (pbuh). The traditions are naturally in the form of prophecies, since Prophet Jesus lived before the time of Prophet Muhammad. But they have value not merely as prophecies: they also provide one of the most beautiful tributes to the glory of the Prophet of Islam ever written. The traditions are from a version of the Gospel of Barnabas compiled by a thirteenth century Italian on the basis of early Christian sources (see footnotes).
Jesus said, "Philip! God is a Good without which there is nothing good: God is a Being without which there is nothing that has existence; God is a Life without which there is nothing that lives. He has no equal. He had no beginning, nor will He have an end, but to everything has He given a beginning and to everything shall He give an end. He has no father nor mother; He has no sons, nor brethren nor companions."
Philip answered:
"Master, what sayest thou? It is surely written in Isaiah that God is our father: how, then, hath He no sons?"
Jesus answered:
"There are written by the prophets many parables, wherefore one ought not attend to the letter, but to the sense. For all the prophets, that are one hundred and forty-four thousand, have spoken ambiguously. But after me shall come the Splendor of all the prophets who shall shed light upon the ambiguities of all that the prophets have said, because he is the Messenger of God.
"Verily, I say unto you that every prophet when he is come has borne the mark of the mercy of God to one nation only. And so their words were not extended save to the people to which they were sent. But the Messenger of God, when he shall come, will be given as it were the seal of the hand of God, insomuch as he shall carry salvation and mercy to all the nations of the world that shall receive his doctrine. He shall come with power upon the ungodly, and shall destroy idolatry for, so promised God to Abraham, saying: 'Behold, in thy seed I will bless all the tribes of the earth; and as thou hast broken in pieces the idols, O Abraham, even so shall thy seed do.'
"I therefore say unto you, that the Messenger of God is a splendor that shall give gladness to nearly all that God has made, for he is adorned with the spirit of understanding and counsel, the spirit of wisdom and might, of fear and love, prudence and temperance; he is adorned with the spirit of charity and mercy, of justice and piety and gentleness and patience, which he has received from God three times more than He has given to all His creatures combined. Blessed will be the time when he shall come to the world! Believe me that I have seen him and have done him reverence, even as every prophet has seen him. And when I saw him my soul was filled with consolation, saying, 'O Admirable One! God be with thee, and may he make me worthy to untie thy shoe-latchet for obtaining this I shall be a great prophet and holy one of God.'
"As for me, I am now come to the world to prepare the way for the Messenger of God, who shall bring salvation to the world. By the living God, in whose presence my soul stands, I am not the Savior whom all the tribes of the earth expect."
Then said the Priest:
"How shall the Savior be called, and what sign shall reveal his coming?"
Jesus answered:
"The name of the Savior shall be the Admirable One, for, God himself gave him the name when he had created his soul, and placed it in celestial splendor. God said, 'Wait O Admirable One (=Muhammad), for thy sake I will create paradise, the world, and a great multitude of creatures, whereas I make thee a present, insomuch that whosoever shall curse the shall be cursed. When I send thee into the world, I shall send thee as My Messenger of Salvation, and thy world shall be true insomuch that heaven and earth shall fail but thy faith shall never fail. Admirable One is his blessed name."
Then the crowd lifted up their voices, saying:
"O God send Thy Messenger. O Admirable One come quickly for the salvation of the world."
Footnotes
1) John 14: 15-16, John 15: 26-27, John 16:5-8. All three sections have references of the "Comforter". The original word used in Greek language is 'Parqaleeta', however you may find it referenced in some Bibles as the 'Comforter', other Bibles use 'Spirit of Truth", and other Bibles use 'Holy Spirit'. The actual meaning of the original Latin word 'Parqaleeta' is 'one whom people praise exceedingly.' The sense of the word is applicable to the word 'Muhammed' in Arabic.
2) If you visit the birth place of Jesus (pbuh), and look at an Arabic Christian Bible, you will find Allah is the reference for God.
3) If you look at a Red-Line Bible (all the text attributed to statements made by Jesus (pbuh) highlighted in Red), and only read the red line text, you will never find a single reference where Jesus (pbuh) ever said that he is God, or explicitly spoke once of the trinity.
If you believe Allah is One, and do not associate any partners with him, then you are nearly a Muslim. If you believe in the possibility that Mohammed (pbuh) can be one of the 125,000 prophets sent to mankind, delivering the simple message of worshiping the One God, without any associates. Not 1 in 3, or 3 in 1. Just One God
