jesus and holyspirit in quran

[vipin]

al baqarah verse 87. it mentions about moses, jesus, holyspirit.

87. We gave Moses the Scripture, and sent a succession of messengers after him. And We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear proofs, and We supported him with the Holy Spirit. Is it that whenever a messenger comes to you with anything your souls do not desire, you grew arrogant, calling some impostors, and killing others?

And We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear proofs, and We supported him with the Holy Spirit

what does clear proofs and holy spirit mean according to you?

any help appreciated.

Hi there. Thank you for the question.

As far as I remember, holy spirit according to the Quran means Angel Gabriel, or Angel Jibraeel as you call in Arabic. He is the one who brings revelations to Prophets and Messengers and is a medium of contact between Prophets and Messengers and Allah.
As far as clear proofs are concerned, that refers to the Injeel, or Gospel, the "original" manuscript which was given to Prophet Jesus PBUH, not the current Bible which is a modified version (according to Islam).

Hope this helps, but please make sure you confirm it as am not 100% sure.
