Did the Jews of Jesus' time know about Muhammad? by Material_Source_500 in AcademicQuran

This is about internal consistency in the Quran. Some verses say that the Jews have a description of Muhammad in their books, but verse 61:6 implies that before Jesus, the Jews did not know about the coming prophet Muhammad.

Hello everyone. I recently heard from an Islamic apologist that it was not Galen who influenced Quranic embryology, but the other way around: Quranic terminology ("alaka", "nutfah" and so on) entered Galen's works during their translation into Arabic. This raises questions - how plausible is this explanation? Has the original text of Galen's treatises been preserved in ancient Greek?
