Truth Given About Islam

Muslims believe, "It is He Who sent down to thee, in truth, the Book, confirming what went before it; and He sent down the Law and the Gospel before this, as a guide to mankind, and He sent down the criterion." (The Family of Imran 003.003). In the Gospel it is written, "There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle. But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs," (John 19:18, 33).

How, then, can Muslims believe, "That they said, 'We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah';- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-" (The Women 004.157)? How is this possible?
