Comparative Study between the Bible versus the Quran (40) - B: The second part
(Chapter 40:1-10)
The Old Testament Verses from 1-10 are talking about the dreams of the butler and the baker that Joseph had interpreted them while they all were in jail.
The New Testament Verses from 1-10 are talking Jesus spoke unto them by parables; a man planted a vineyard. The parable is a symbol that God sent many messengers and Prophets unto the Jews. The Jews did catch some, beat some, cast stones some, wound some and kill some.
The Noble Quran Verses from 1-10 are talking about many subjects e.g., Allah is the only forgiver of sins and the acceptor of repentance (see: C: The third part - I and II)
New Testament
Chapter 40 in the New Testament is Mark 12; it is composed of 44 verses.
Verses from 1-10 are talking about Jesus spoke unto them by parables; a man planted a vineyard. The parable is a symbol that God sent many messengers and Prophets unto the Jews. The Jews did catch some, beat some, cast stones some, wound some and kill some.
Mark 12 (King James Version)
1] And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
2] And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
3] And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
4] And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
5] And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
6] Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
7] But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.'
8] And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9] What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
10] And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
It is interesting to know:
A - How many Messengers did the Jews Kill?
B - How many Prophets did the Jews Cast Stones?
C - How many Messengers did the Jews Wound?
D - How many Prophets did the Jews Hurt?
Look what happened after Jesus had said the Parable:
A - They knew that he had spoken the parable against them
B - They left him, in order not to listen to him
C - They send unto him another priests, why?
D - To catch him in his words
12] And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
13] And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.

I will postpone my question: "Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?" until you read the third parts of this article (C: The third part - I and II).
