Jesus Pbuh speaking from the cradle a miracle also recognised by the Bible.

It is often criticised by Christians regarding the story of Jesus Pbuh speaking from the cradle as found in the Quran. They disagree with the entire story except for the virgin birth, probably because it will only backfire on them as the virgin birth is also found in the New Testament. Christians mock Muslims by saying there is no mention in the bible of Jesus speaking when he was a baby nor does the bible mention of any baby speaking. 

This claim made by Christians is not true, since animals, trees and mythical creatures speak in the bible. However, that's not our point, we shall show from the very Bible Christians and Jews read alongside the Oral tradition (Talmud) where babies have spoken or would be depending on situations.

Interesting the Old Testament and New Testament Both agree that babies speak:

From the lips of babes and infants you have ordained praise, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger. 

(Psalm 8:2)

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. (Matthew 11:25)

"Do you hear what these children are saying?" they asked. "Yes," Jesus answered, "have you never read: 'From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise'?" (Matthew 21:16)

The above Biblical verses are crystal clear that God can make babies speak and praise him. Now let's analyse those saying. Notice how babies have been ordained by God to speak and praise him, which means it's not impossible or an absurd claim to make saying babies can speak. According to Matthew 21:16 Jesus himself is making the claim that babies were taught to praise referring to Psalm 8:2.

 here's what the Talmud says:

§ The Sages taught in a baraita that Rabbi Yosei HaGelili taught: At the time that the Jewish people ascended from the sea they resolved to sing a song of gratitude to God. And how did they recite this song? If a babywas lying on his mother’s lap or an infant was nursing from his mother’s breasts, once they saw the Divine Presence, the baby straightened his neck and the infant dropped the breast from his mouth, and they recited: “This is my God and I will glorify Him”(Exodus 15:2). As it is stated: “Out of the mouths of babies and sucklings You have founded strength” (Psalms 8:3). (Talmud 

Sotah 30b:16)

Notice how the Talmud makes mention of “Babies reciting the Glory of God”. The Talmud makes it clear they were breastfed infants and now the babies “strengthened his neck” in order to lift is showing how weak and fragile this little baby was.

Second point we read in the statement found in psalm, were not only does God make babies speak and praise him he also silences the adversaries through the words spoken by them. This is a very remarkable statement as we can read from the Quran where Jesus Pbuh spoke from the cradle and silenced the evil questioners.

27. At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: "O Mary! truly an amazing thing hast thou brought! 28. "O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!" 29. But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?" 30. He said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah. He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet; 31. "And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live; 32. "(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable; 33. "So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"! 34. Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute. 35. It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is. (Surah 19:27-35)


The Quran is clear in details how the Jews accused Mary Pbuh and how Allah Swt made Jesus Pbuh speak from the cradle defending his blessed mother Mary Pbuh from their false allegations and silencing them. A miraculous event which Christians dispute, the truth spoken by Allah Swt   34. Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute. 

---------------

just for the records this miracle of Jesus Pbuh speaking from the cradle was also believed by early Christians found in apocrypha gospels, which again is rejected by modern day Christians. So, this isn't any invention made by Muslims, rather the truth which early gnostic writings made mention of.  Their books wouldn’t matter to Christians, since I’ve given evidence from the Bible itself where babies did speak from the cradle and from theTalmud.
