104 The Life of Muhammad following. It is extracted from what John the Apostle set down for them when he wrote the Gospel for them from the Testament of Jesus Son of Mary: 'He that hateth me hath hated the Lord. And if I had not done in their presence works which none other before me did, they had not. had sin: 150 but from now they are puffed up with pride and think that they will overcome me and also the Lord. But the word that is in the law must be fulfilled, "They hated me without a cause" (i.e. without reason). But when the Comforter has come whom God will send to you from the Lord's presence, and the spirit of truth which will have gone forth from the Lord's presence he (shall bear) witness of me and ye also, because ye have been with me from the beginning. I have spoken unto you about this that ye should not be in doubt." The MunaMemana (God bless and preserve him!) in Syriac is Muhammad; in Greek he is the paraclete. THE PROPHET'S MISSION When Muhammad the apostle of God reached the age of forty God sent him in compassion to mankind, 'as an evangelist to all men'.2 Now God had made a covenant with every prophet Whom he had sent before him that he should believe in him, testify to his truth and help him against his adversaries, and he required of them that they should transmit that to everyone who believed in them, and they carried out their obligations in that respect. God said to Muhammad, 'When God made a covenant with the prophets (He said) this is the scripture and wisdom which I have given you, afterwards an apostle will come confirming what you know that you may believe in him and help him.' He said, 'Do you accept this and take up my burden?' i.e. the burden of my agreement which I have laid upon you. They said, 'We accept it.' He answered, 'Then bear witness and I am a witness with yoU.'3 Thus God made a covenant with all the prophets that they should testify to his truth and help him against his adversaries and I The passage quoted is John IS. 23 ff. It is interesting to note that the citation comes from the Palestinian Syriac Lectionary and not from the ordinary Bible of the Syriacpspeaking Churches. The text is corrupt in one or two places; e.g. the phrase 'puffed up with pride and think that they will overcome me'. Ba/iru is an obvious corruption of na:,aru, which agrees with the Syriac and underlying Greek. Wa~annuseems to be another attempt to make sense of the passage. The next word I am unable to explain. The most interesting word is that rendered 'Comfprter' which we find in the Palestinian Lectionary, but all other Syriac versions render 'paraclete', following the Greek. This word was well established in the Hebrew- and Aramaic-speaking world. The menaMzemana in Syriac means the lifegiver and especially one who raises from the dead. Obviously such a meaning is out of place here and what is meant is one who consoles and comforts people for the loss of one dear to them. This is the meaning in the Talmud and Targum. It ought to be pointed out that by the omission of the words 'that is written' before 'in the law' quite another meaning is given to the prophecy. The natural rendering would be 'the word that concerns the Namt\s must be fulfilled'. To Muslims the N1i.mus was the angel Gabriel. Furthermore, the last words are translated as. the ordinary Arab reader would understand tashukku; but in Syrian Arabic it could bear the meaning of the Go"Spel text 'stumble'. See further my article in Al-Anda- Ius, xv, fasc. 2 (I950), 289-96. z Sura 34. 27. J Sura 3. 75. The Life of Muhammad 105 they transmitted that obligation to those who believed in them among the two monotheistic religions. (T- One whom I do not suspect told me from Sa'id b.
