In order to understand the intended audience of this verse, we need to follow the flow of verses before this particular verse. I will put forth the simple English translation of verses from 153 to 159 and you see for yourself that these verses are addressed to people of the book of Prophet Muhammad’s time and that they will believe in this Quran as a book of GOD before their death. It is belief in Quran intended here, not belief in Jesus (sws). These People of the Book ask you to bring down directly to them a book from the heavens [instead of this Quran]. [This is no matter of wonder]. Of Moses they made an even greater demand. They said to him: “Show us God distinctly.” So for this rebelliousness a thunderbolt struck them. Then they worshipped the calf after obvious signs had come to them; yet We still forgave them and gave Moses clear dominance [on them]. And We raised Tur over them with a covenant with them and directed them: “Enter the gates [of the city] bowing your heads,” and told them: “Do not be disobedient in the matter of the Sabbath, and [on all these things] We took from them a firm covenant. (153-154) Then because they broke their covenant [We laid a curse on them] and because they denied the revelations of God and because they killed the prophets unjustly and because they said: “Our hearts have a covering on them.” – [no], in fact, it is God who has sealed their hearts because of their disbelief, so [now] they will seldom embrace faith – and because of their disbelief and vicious accusation against Mary and because of their claim: “We have killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the Messenger of God.” – even though neither did they kill him nor did they crucify him; in fact, the matter was muddled up to them. Those who are disagreeing in this matter are inflicted with doubt about it; they do have no knowledge about it; they are only following conjectures. They certainly did not slay him; in fact, God lifted him up to him, and God is Mighty and Wise. (155-158) [This is a list of their crimes; so if they are now demanding that a book other than the Quran be directly revealed to them, just ignore them. O Prophet!] There is none among these People of the Book but will believe in [this Quran] before his death; and on the Day of Judgement it will bear witness against them. (159) (Translation by Dr. Shehzad Saleem)
