218. O People of the Book! Why are you trying to mislead those new converts to Islam. in whose heart faith has not seeped deeply that as he is not the Prophet described in the Tauraat and Injcel. This does not refer to the well known companions of the Holy Prophet.
219. A witness is he who is fully aware of the happenings and is an eye witness to these, no matter whether he personally testifies or not.Thus, this verse will mean you have personally seen those verses of the Tauraat which speak of the truth and righteousness of Islam. Hence, there is no contradiction in the verse.
220. It can be seen that the sin of a misleading person will be either equal to the misled people or even worse than that, for which the torment and punishment is severe.
