The following verses continue the charge:
And truly are there among them who torture the Scriptures with their
tongues,1 in order that ye may suppose it to be from the Scripture,
yet it is not from the Scripture; and they say, ' This is from God,' yet it is
not from God; and they utter a lie against God, and they know they do so. Sura
Al-'Imran (iii) 72.
In the latest Sura of all we have:
They shift the words of Scripture from their places and have forgotten part
of what they were taught. Sura Al-Ma'ida (v) 16.
O people of the Scriptures! Now is our Apostle come to you to clear up to you
much that ye concealed of these Scriptures and to pass over many things. Now
hath a light, and a clear Book come to you from God by which God will guide him
who shall follow after His good pleasure to paths of peace, and will bring them
out of the darkness to the light, by His will; and to the straight path will He
guide them. Sura Al-Ma'ida (v) 18.1
