and those messengers some we have preferred above others some there are to whom god spoke and some he raised in rank. and we gave jesus son of mary the clear signs and confirmed him with the holy spirit. and had god willed those who came after him would not have fought one against the other after the clear signs had come to them but they fell into variance and some of them believed and some disbelieved and had god willed they would not have fought one against the other but god does whatsoever he desires.
تلك الرسل فضلنا بعضهم على بعض منهم من كلم الله ورفع بعضهم درجات وآتينا عيسى ابن مريم البينات وأيدناه بروح القدس ولو شاء الله ما اقتتل الذين من بعدهم من بعد ما جاءتهم البينات ولكن اختلفوا فمنهم من آمن ومنهم من كفر ولو شاء الله ما اقتتلوا ولكن الله يفعل ما يريد
