The Holy Quran 5:46 — Surah Al-Ma'idah

Arabic text

وَقَفَّيْنَا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِم بِعِيسَى ٱبْنِ مَرْيَمَ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ ۖ وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ ٱلْإِنجِيلَ فِيهِ هُدًى وَنُورٌ وَمُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ وَهُدًى وَمَوْعِظَةً لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ

Translation

In their footsteps (in the footsteps of the other Ambiyaa) We sent Isa the son of Maryam, confirming the (teachings of the) Torah that was before him. We gave him the Injeel in which there is guidance (towards the truth) and light (the commands of Allaah), confirming the Torah before him. It (the Injeel) was (also) a guidance and advice to those who adopted Taqwa (who feared Allaah).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

That is, he too followed in their footsteps. The Injil and Isa ﵇ confirmed the Torah: that is, Isa ﵇ himself confirmed the Torah with his own tongue, and the Book (the Injil, that is, the Gospel) which was given to him also confirmed the Torah; and in its nature too, in being light and guidance, the Injil was like the Torah.
