''His name will be Christ (al Masih, Messiah) Jesus 3.45 Yusuf Ali''
|}
An equavalent translation is ''Messiah'' or ''the Messiah'' because ''al'' is a definite article. The Arabic is ''al Masih." See also 3.45, 4.157, 4.171, 4.172, 5.17, 5.72, 5.75, 9.30, and 9.31.

==Arabic Meaning==
Masih is different from the related ''mamsuah'' which means ''annointed.'' The different form implies the annointing was either done in great quality or great frequency.

==Hebrew Meaning==
al Masih is related to the Hebrew ''Messiah''. If the title was applied during His lifetime, surely it would have been translated as Messiah to whoever knew it. Because Jesus lived before the Qur'an, we can infer that the title is primarily Hebrew and that al Masih is rather a translation of Messiah. Thus the real understanding of al Masih lies in the Hebrew.
