There is no religious impediment to a non-Muslim reading books that contain Quranic verses, provided that they are respected and not subjected to desecration. However, a non-Muslim is forbidden from touching the (the physical copy of the Quran). We advise the questioner to embrace Islam and not procrastinate, because Jesus (peace be upon him) is not a god but a human who submitted to God. And whoever truly loves Jesus should follow his true religion, which is Islam, because whoever dies upon a religion other than Islam will lose in this world and the hereafter.
