وَإِنْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَبِإِلَّا لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا " Mawtihi " could either be refering to Jesus's or the people of the book's death as the grammar of the Quran Allah many times refers to a group of people using a singular pronoun such as "hu" ~ it or him However lets look at what sense your interpretation will make. If you say "mawtihi" ~ his death is refering to Jesus and the sentence before it is saying that the "people of the book but MUST believe in him" would be ironic denoting that they (the people of the book) have up to the time of his(Jesus') death as the Quran says " qabla mawtihi " ~ before his (Jesus') death [in the context] indicating he has not yet died from since the time these words were uttered by our Prophet which was about six hundred years after Jesus. "and the people of the book but must believe in him (Jesus) BEFORE his or its death" "qabla mawtihi" before his or its death is refering to "ahlal-kitaab" ~ People of The Book, which is also masculine, in which the people of the book but must believe in Jesus before they die.
