Mohammad in the Bible

After Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) told the Jews, who stand against Jesus the Christ and all God prophets sent to them before him, that after him no prophet will appear among them and that the kingdom of God would be taken away from them and given to a nation more worthy of it, meaning thereby that the children of Ishmael, whom they (the children of Israel) had rejected and disowned, had been chosen by God for his great blessings.

" I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth" (John 16:12, 13)

In a non-canonical Gospel, the Gospel of St. Bernabas, Jesus mentioned the spirit of truth or the comforter – the Prophet who was to come after him to guide the world " into all the truth" – by name thus:

" Then said the Priest, 'How shall the comforter be called, and what signs shall reveal his coming?' Jesus answered, 'The name of the comforter is Admirable, for God gave him the name when he had created his soul, and placed it in Celestial Splendor. God said, ' Wait Mohammad, for the sake I will create paradise the world, and a great multitude of creatures, whereof I make thee a present, in so much that who shall bless thee shall be blessed, and who so shall curse thee shall be cursed. When I shall send thee into the world, I shall send thee as My Messenger of salvation, and thy word shall be true, in so much that heaven and earth shall fail, but thy faith shall never fail.' Mohammed is his blessed name. Then the crowd lifted up their voice saying: 'O God, send us Thy Messenger. O! Mohammed, come quickly for the salvation of the world." (1)
