Hi amai
i see that your question about why Prophet Issa prayer and peace be upon him was sentenced to death was anwered.
Jazakum Allah khairan purgetory.
Exactly, just because he was calling to worship the Only True One Allah. Jews were not very happy about it.
As for the meaning of Messiah which is pronounced Maseeh in Arabic. To this description there are three explanations according to scholars of Tafseer (explantion of the Quran):
His feet were missing the large finger and in Arabic it is called massehulqadam. It means his feet are whipted off.
In another meaning because when ever he wiped over someone who suffers a handicap the person is treated with Allah's Will. To wipe off in Arabic is called yamsah. So the word Maseeh is derived from this.
Hope I was able with Allah's support to make it clear to you amai.
