Behold! The angels said: “O Maryam! Allah gives you glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be ‘Isa, the son of Maryam, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah; (3:45)

“He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (of the company) of the righteous.” (3:46)

She said: “O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?” He said: “Even so: Allah creats what He wills: When He has decreed a plan, He but says to it, ‘Be’, and it is! (3:47)

“And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Tawrat and Injil, (3:48)

“And (appoint him) a messenger to the Children of Israil, (with this message): “I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah’s leave: And I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by Allah’s leave; and I declare to you what you eat, and what you store in your house. Surely therein is a Sign for you if you did believe; (3:49)

“(I have come to you), to attest the Law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was (Before) forbidden to you; I have come to you with a Sign from your Lord. So fear Allah, and obey me. (3:50)

“It is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship Him. This is a Way that is straight.” (3:51)

When ‘Isa found Unbelief on their part He said: “Who will be my helpers to (the work of) Allah?” Said the disciples: “We are Allah’s helpers: We believe in Allah, and do you bear witness that we are Muslims. (3:52)

“Our Lord! We believe in what You have revealed, and we follow the Messenger; then write us down among those who bear witness.” (3:53)

And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah. (3:54)

Then will Allah say: “O Isa the son of Maryam! Recount My favour to you and to your mother. Behold! I strengthened you with the holy spirit, so that you didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught you the Book and Wisdom Tawrat and Injil and behold! You makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and you breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and you healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! You bringest forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israil from (violence to) you when you didst show them the clear Signs, and the unbelievers among them said: ‘This is nothing but evident magic.’ (5:110)

“And behold! I inspired the disciples to have faith in Me and Mine Messenger: they said, ‘We have faith, and do you bear witness that we bow to Allah as Muslims’”. (5:111)

Behold! The disciples, said: “O `Isa the son of Maryam! Can your Lord send down to us a table set (with viands) from heaven?” Said `Isa: “Fear Allah, if you have faith.” (5:112)

They said: “We only wish to eat thereof and satisfy our hearts, and to know that you have indeed told us the truth; and that we ourselves may be witnesses to the miracle.” (5:113)

Said `Isa the son of Maryam: “O Allah our Lord! Send us from heaven a table set (with viands), that there may be for us- for the first and the last of us- a selemn festival and a sign from you; and provide for our sustenance, for you are the best Sustainer (of our needs).” (5:114)

Allah said: “I will send it down to you: But if any of you after that resisteth faith, I will punish him with a penalty such as I have not inflicted on any one among all the peoples.” (5:115)
