    "34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. 35 Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.”
    What does verses 34 and 35 have to do with this discussion?

    Thanks for your inputs though.
    Other prophets died outside of Jerusalem and you know that.

    Islam considers John the Baptist a prophet and he died outside of Jerusalem.

    Islam considers Muhammad a prophet and he died outside of Jerusalem.

    Hakeem, it is way past time for you to tell us what happened to Jesus if He did not die. WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER???

    Already addressed. Jesus was using sarcasm.

    True, according to the Ahmadis Jesus lived to be 120 years old, died and was buried in Kashmir.

    That is the reason I keep asking the resident Muslim what he thinks happened to Jesus and so far he has not answered.

    The only other Muslims who believe Jesus was crucified are the Ahmadis. Our Muslim here said he is not an Ahmadis.

    Thanks.

    The NEB commentary said Jesus was using irony.

    I would say about 98% of the Muslims I've spoken to about this believe this interpretation:

    Hilali/Khan
    And because of their saying (in boast), "We killed Messiah Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allah," - but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of Iesa (Jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not (i.e. Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) ):

    Others think Judas or someone else was crucified instead of Jesus.

    A lot of Muslims believe it was Allah who put a resemblance of Jesus on another man. Who else???

    The only other Muslims who believe Jesus was crucified are the Ahmadis. Our Muslim here said he is not an Ahmadis.

    Many prophets died outside of Jerusalem. Moses did, for one.

    AND, so did your prophet Muhammad!!!

    I talked to a Jewish friend of mine who lives in Israel and he said the place Jesus died is considered a part of Jerusalem.

    I think what Jesus was saying is that it is the Sanhendren who only had the authority to condemn someone to death and they are located in Jerusalem.

    So what happened to Jesus in your opinion?
