Of these messengers, We have given something additional among them. There are some to whom God spoke directly and others He exalted in rank. We gave Jesus, son of Mary clear signs, and strengthened him with the holy spirit. Had God pleased, those who succeeded them would not have fought against one another after the clear signs had come to them. But they disagreed among themselves; some believed, while others did not. Yet had God willed, they would not have fought against one another; but God does whatever He wills.
بعضى از اين پيامبران را بر بعضى ديگر برترى داديم. خدا با بعضى سخن گفت و بعضى را به درجاتى برافراشت. و به عيسى بن مريم معجزه‌ها داديم و او را به روح القدس يارى كرديم. و اگر خدا مى خواست، مردمى كه بعد از آنها بودند، پس از آنكه حجتها بر آنان آشكار شده بود، با يكديگر قتال نمى‌كردند. ولى آنان اختلاف كردند: پاره‌اى مؤمن بودند و پاره‌اى كافر شدند. و اگر خدا مى‌خواست با هم قتال نمى‌كردند، ولى خدا هر چه خواهد مى‌كند.
