[3:69] There is a party of the People of the Scripture who yearn to make you go astray; yet they cause none to stray, except themselves...
Those who have come to discord, who have been afflicted by tribulation and seduced by temptation wish for all people what has come to them. The People of the Scripture wanted the believers to turn from the truth, but God willed that His light would be completed and the evil of their actions would revert back to them.
