Muslims argue that Jesus is referred to as God's servant in the Bible, which suggests he is not divine but merely a prophet.

In the passages from Acts, Jesus is indeed referred to as God's servant, but this designation does not diminish his divine nature. The term 'pais' can be translated as 'servant' or 'child/son', and the context of these verses highlights Jesus' unique role in salvation history. For instance, while the apostles are called 'doulos' (servants), Jesus is also referred to as the 'Holy and Righteous One' and the 'Author of life', which elevates his status beyond that of a mere servant. Furthermore, the Old Testament references to David as God's servant and son illustrate that the title of servant can coexist with a special relationship with God. Therefore, the use of 'servant' in relation to Jesus should be understood within the broader context of his identity as both servant and divine Son of God.
