70. " o' people of the book! why do you disbelieve in the signs of allah while
you bear witness (to their truth) ? "

commentary:
this verse, maybe, hints to the glad news that the people of the book
had studied in the torah and the evangel about hadĪrat muhammad
(p.b.u.h.). they did know the prophet of islam (p.b.u.h.) as they knew their
own children. but, they denied all those divine tokens in order to keep
their social situation and protect their material interests. so, the qur'an
says:

" o' people of the book! why do you disbelieve in the signs of allah while
you bear witness (to their truth) ? "
