when god says jesus son of mary did you say to people take me and my mother as two deities besides god? he will answer glory be to you! how could i ever say that to which i have no right? if i had ever said so you would surely have known it. you know what is in my mind while i do not know anything that is within yours. you alone are the knower of unseen things i told them only what you commanded me to worship god my lord and your lord. i was a witness to what they did as long as i remained among them and when you took my soul you were the watcher over them. you are the witness of all things and if you punish them they are surely your servants and if you forgive them you are surely the mighty and wise.
وإذ قال الله يا عيسى ابن مريم أأنت قلت للناس اتخذوني وأمي إلهين من دون الله قال سبحانك ما يكون لي أن أقول ما ليس لي بحق إن كنت قلته فقد علمته تعلم ما في نفسي ولا أعلم ما في نفسك إنك أنت علام الغيوب ما قلت لهم إلا ما أمرتني به أن اعبدوا الله ربي وربكم وكنت عليهم شهيدا ما دمت فيهم فلما توفيتني كنت أنت الرقيب عليهم وأنت على كل شيء شهيد إن تعذبهم فإنهم عبادك وإن تغفر لهم فإنك أنت العزيز الحكيم
