we gave some of our messengers preference over others. to some of them god spoke and he raised the rank of some others. we gave authoritative proofs to jesus son of mary and supported him by the holy spirit. had god wanted the generations who lived after those messengers would not have fought each other after the authority had come to them. but they differed among themselves some of them believed in the authority and others denied it. they would not have fought each other had god wanted but god does as he wills.
