→Crucifixion and Resurrection
''"...They did not kill him [Jesus] and they did not crucify him, but it was made to seem so to them..."'' Qur'an, 4:157
''"Nay! Allah took him up to Himself; and Allah is Mighty, Wise."'' Qur'an 4:158
The Qur'an denies that Jesus was in fact crucified and then resurrected (cf. Docetism). The Muslim belief is that Jesus was rescued by God prior to actually being crucified. This changed perhaps because it implied Jesus was greater than Muhammad: He defeated death.
