قُلْ يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ لِمَ تَصُدُّونَ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ تَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا وَأَنْتُمْ شُهَدَاءُ ۗ وَمَا اللَّهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ
Say, "O People of the Scripture, why do you avert from the way of Allah those who believe, seeking to make it [seem] deviant, while you are witnesses [to the truth]? And Allah is not unaware of what you do."

قُلْ يأَهْلَ الْكِتَـبِ لِمَ تَكْفُرُونَ بِـَيَـتِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ عَلَى مَا تَعْمَلُونَ - قُلْ يأَهْلَ الْكِتَـبِ لِمَ تَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَنْ ءَامَنَ تَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجاً وَأَنْتُمْ شُهَدَآءُ وَمَا اللَّهُ بِغَـفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ
(98. Say: "O People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Why do you reject the Ayat of Allah, while Allah is Witness to what you do'')
(99. Say: "O People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Why do you stop those who have believed, from the path of Allah, seeking to make it seem crooked, while you (yourselves) are witnesses And Allah is not unaware of what you do.'')
In this Ayah Allah criticizes the disbelieving People of the Book for refusing the truth, rejecting Allah's Ayat and hindering those who seek to believe from His path, although they know that what the Messenger was sent with is the truth from Allah. They learned this from the previous Prophets and honorable Messengers, may Allah's peace and blessings be on them all. They all brought the glad tidings and the good news of the coming of the unlettered, Arab, Hashimi Prophet from Makkah, the master of the Children of Adam, the Final Prophet and the Messenger of the Lord of heavens and earth. Allah has warned the People of the Book against this behavior, stating that He is Witness over what they do, indicating their defiance of the knowledge conveyed to them by the Prophets. They rejected, denied and refused the very Messenger whom they were ordered to convey the glad tidings about his coming. Allah states that He is never unaware of what they do, and He will hold them responsible for their actions, R

Yakni dari agama-Nya, dengan mendustakan Nabi Muhammad shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam dan menyembunyikan nikmat yang diberikan kepadanya.
Menyaksikan maksudnya mengetahui bahwa agama yang diridhai Allah adalah agama Islam sebagaimana yang ada dalam kitab mereka.
Bahkan Allah meliputi amal mereka, niat mereka dan rencana jahat mereka dan akan memberikan balasan terhadap pekerjaan mereka. Pekerjaan mereka misalnya kafir, mendustakan dan menghalangi manusia dari jalan Allah. Di ayat 98-99, Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala mencela orang-orang Yahudi dan Nasrani karena kekafiran mereka kepada ayat-ayat-Nya yang diturunkan kepada Rasul-Nya, padahal ayat tersebut Allah jadikan sebagai rahmat bagi hamba-hamba-Nya agar mereka dapat mengambilnya sebagai petunjuk. Namun mereka (Ahli Kitab) malah mengingkarinya, bahkan tidak hanya itu, mereka juga menghalangi manusia dari jalan Allah dan menginginkannya menjadi bengkok.
