Who believe in Jesus' sayings, Jews or Christians or Muslims? (1)
Referring to verse John 20:21, the Jews partially follow Jesus. The Muslims absolutely follow Jesus. The Christians absolutely do not follow Jesus.
The Verse, John 20:21, is composed of two parts:
First part: Jesus' greeting
Second part: Jesus' nature
-------------------
Jesus' greeting was:
Peace be between you or
Peace be unto you or
Peace be with you etc.
So, His greeting starts with "Peace"
Now, who believe in and follow Jesus' greeting?
1) The Jews? Partially yes, their greeting is Shalom (Peace).
2) The Christians? Absolutely No, their greeting words are: Hi, Hello, Hey, What is up?, How is it going?, How are you?, Have a nice day, Good morning, Good afternoon, Good evening, Good day, Pleased to meet you, Nice meeting you, How are you? Etc.
3) The Muslims? Absolutely Yes, their greeting is Assalaamu alaykum (Peace be unto you, Exactly the same as Jesus' greeting)

Jesus' nature
The original Greek verse says:
,
It is translated to:
As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.
However, the exact translation of the Greek verse is as follows, word by word:
= just as
= the Generator, the founder, the originator, the Governor, God
= sent, ordered, commissioned
= Me
= I also =I as well = I likewise
= send
= you
Hence, the original Greek verse (of Jesus' saying) would better be translated to:
Just as the Generator has ordered me, I likewise send you, or
Just as the Founder has sent me, I also send you, or
Just as the Originator has commissioned me, I send you as well, or
Just as the Governor ordered me, I likewise send you, or
Just as God has sent me, I likewise send you
-------------------
Anyway, Jesus was very clear when he states that:
God, the Generator, the Founder, the Originator, the Governor ordered him and sent him.
It goes without saying that there is a difference between the sender and the sent one.
In other word, Jesus is a messenger sent by God.
Now, who believe that Jesus is sent by God?
1) The Jews? Absolutely No, they deny that Jesus is a messenger sent by God.
2) The Christians? No, they believe that Jesus is God or Son of God.
3) The Muslims? Absolutely yes, they believe that Jesus is one of the five top Messengers sent by Allah.
It should be emphasized that I usually find corruption and differences in the translations when studying any Biblical verse in 20 or 22 different English versions of the Bible. Nevertheless, with reference to the verse John 20:21, I have to admit that the entire 22 versions were the same in their translations without any difference(s).
