(An-Nisáa), the verse is clear. Jesus did not die on the cross. The Jews believed that Jesus died on the cross.
Surat An-Nisa' [4:157] - The Holy Qur'an - ?????? ??????
Sahih International
And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah ." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.
Yes, that simply serves to highlight the contradictions inherent with the book. However, put that to one side for a moment and look at the Arabi of the verse straight after it (4:158):
بَلْ رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا
I have coloured the relevant word (but doing so seemed to change the order of the words in my post. I hope it reads correctly when I submit my post).
At any rate, in red you should have in front of you the third person masculine singular perfect verb which states that he was raised. It comes from the root word ر ف ع and means to raise or elevate (as well as similar meanings). In 5:117, had the words read that allah raised Jesus, it would have used words derived from this triliteral root, and not from one meaning to cause to die.
