Sura 4:157 is the 157th ayat of the 4th sura of the Qur'an. The text reads:

And for claiming that they killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of GOD. In fact, they never killed him, they never crucified him - they were made to think that they did. All factions who are disputing in this matter are full of doubt concerning this issue. They possess no knowledge; they only conjecture. For certain, they never killed him.

This ayat is the chief source for claims that the Qur'an acknowledges the existence—but denies the divinity—of Jesus, or Yehoshua.
