Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in the New Testament:
Al-Qur'an Chapter 61 Verse 6:
"And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said, 'O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me and giving glad tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed.' But when he came to them with clear signs, they said, 'This is evident sorcery!' "
All the prophecies mentioned in the Old Testament regarding Muhammad (pbuh) besides applying to the Jews also hold good for the Christians.
1. John chapter 14 verse 16:
"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever."
2. Gospel of John chapter 15 verse 26:
"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me."
3. Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 7:
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you".
"Ahmed" or "Muhammad" meaning "the one who praises" or "the praised one" is almost the translation of the Greek word Periclytos. In the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, and 16:7. The word 'Comforter' is used in the English translation for the Greek word Paracletos which means advocate or a kind friend rather than a comforter.
Paracletos is the warped reading for Periclytos. Jesus (pbuh) actually prophesised Ahmed by name. Even the Greek word Paraclete refers to the Prophet (pbuh) who is a mercy for all creatures.
Some Christians say that the Comforter mentioned in these prophecies refers to the Holy Sprit. They fail to realise that the prophecy clearly says that only if Jesus (pbuh) departs will the Comforter come. The Bible states that the Holy Spirit was already present on earth before and during the time of Jesus (pbuh), in the womb of Elizabeth, and again when Jesus (pbuh) was being baptised, etc. Hence this prophecy refers to none other than Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
4. Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 12-14:
"I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you unto all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me".
The Sprit of Truth, spoken about in this prophecy referes to none other than Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

Qamersland these verses do refer to the Holy Spirit and the Pentecost.
John:14.16 - the Holy Spririt to this very day abides with us and continues to guide the Church from the day of Pentecost to the present - Muhummad is long dead.
John:15.26 - Jesus Christ states that HE will send the Comforter, which he did on the day of Pentecost when he sent the Holy Spirit - I do not remember it being stated anywhere that Jesus Christ sent Muhummad.
John:16:7 - Jesus Christ again states that HE will send the Comforter and that must leave quickly so that the Comforter can come. The Pentecost occured shortly after the ressurection of Christ, wheras as Muhammad appeared some 600 years later so why the expediency?
John:16:12-24: Christs Disciples where concerned about what would happen when he was gone and send the Holy Spirit to them on Pentecost.
These verse also confirm the doctines of the Trinity and Christs divinity.
You wade through the old and new testament looking for proof of Muhammad and Islam, but you're only deluding yourself.
If you read them in the Spirit of Truth then you will come to see the truth.[/quote]
Thanks Me ed to brings up the question if Jesus is talking about Holy spirit or Muhammad(PBUT) . please cosider the following
If the prophecy in the New Testament is referred to Holy Spirit then what about the Holy Spirit which was already present there before Jesus and when Jesus (PBUH) was Baptized in the river of Jordan which is mentioned in Bible? So Bible itself proves that Jesus(PBUH) is not referring to holy spirit but about Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) who is the only who fits exactly in the prophesies mentioned both in New and Old Testaments. He is talking about someone who will come after he leaves and he will glorify him. If you read Quran (Last and Final Testament from God). You find name of Jesus(PBUH) mentioned 25 times and Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) also glorified him and A Muslim is not a Muslim if he does not believe Jesus Christ (PBUH) one of the mightiest Prophet of God with wonders and miracles and there is chapter in the Quran by the name Marry(PBUH) the mother of Jesus (PBUH).

You should know Muhammad (PBUH) before you analyze if the prophesies in the bible refer to him or not.

You should actually read his full authentic biography. Above are just comments from mostly non Muslims.
Tell me only one thing in last 2000 years which holy sprit has taught you new where Jesus (PBUH) said he will teach you many things? I don’t ask for many but just
one.
Only Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) were given the Last holy scripture (Quran) in which many new things are taught for humanity and also Islam is the only non Christian religion which makes an article to believe in Jesus(PBUH)
Further in the Old Testament where Prophet Moses (PBUH) also prophesized about a prophet which will from their brethrens? What about that prophecy? Prophet Abraham (PBUH) had to sons. Ishmael and Isaac (PBUT). Jews were the descendent of Isaac and Arabs were the descendent of Ishmael. So also the prophesy in the Old Testament is fulfilled that there will be a prophet among your brotherns and he will be like Prophet Moses (PBUH).
John 16:13-14 “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. “He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.”
Jesus tells us that the Spirit will not speak on His own authority (v. 14) but will say What Jesus says . His purpose, He will glorify Jesus. Verse 16 says that He will take what is Jesus' and declare it unto you.
If you read the well preserved biography of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). You will come to know how God revealed him the Quran trough Angel Gabriel. Quran is 100% word of God and there is nothing in the Quran what Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said which proves that he did not speak on his own authority but whatever God revealed him. These are the following verses which was first revealed by God to him
http://www.islam101.com/quran/yusufAli/QURAN/96.htm
The original bible which was written long time after Jesus(PBUH) departed from the world is not available in it original language. The oldest version is in the Greek language available. I have asked many Greeks to read the verses mention about someone to come after the departure of Jesus(PBUH) and they found that Jesus (PBUH) is talking about a human being not spirit and by the grace of God some of them even reverted to their original faith which is Islam after reading those verses from their Bibles present in their houses from long time but they never read before. The Priest are misguiding the people and they do not encourage people to read their holy scripture but in the other hand Islam encourages people not only read but to understand and every Muslim you will find can recite you many verses of the Quran by heart and there are about 10 million Muslims in the world present today who know the Quran by heart because God almighty promised in the Quran to preserve it till the day of judgment. The Quran is the same from last 1400 years in its original language which is Arabic.
