More recent (2025) research by Professor Sean Anthony has shown strong parallels with only the 'appearance' of crucifixion to Jesus's enemies and end of Jesus's ministry on Earth with a Jewish anti-gospel work known in modern scholarship as Toledot Yeshu (The Life Story of Jesus),<ref>Sean W. Anthony; ''The Early Aramaic Toledot Yeshu and the End of Jesus’s Earthly Mission in the Qur’an.'' Studies in Late Antiquity 1 May 2025; 9 (2): 151–185. doi: <nowiki>https://doi.org/10.1525/sla.2025.9.2.151</nowiki></ref> running as a counter-narrative to it by siding with the Christians views in the story, which he contends is a more likely source given the context of the passages appearing in passages criticizing the Medinan Jews' beliefs - with the motifs and counter motifs highlighted in the main article sub-section. | |||
