Ayah 157
Surah An-Nisaa
And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.﴿157﴾

Simplified Tafsir
وبسبب قولهم -على سبيل التهكم والاستهزاء-: هذا الذي يدعي لنفسه هذا المنصب (قتلناه)، وما قتلوا عيسى وما صلبوه، بل صلبوا رجلا شبيهًا به ظنًّا منهم أنه عيسى. ومن ادَّعى قَتْلَهُ من اليهود، ومن أسلمه إليهم من النصارى، كلهم واقعون في شك وحَيْرَة، لا عِلْمَ لديهم إلا اتباع الظن، وما قتلوه متيقنين بل شاكين متوهمين.
