Translation of Verse 57-67

57. When the son of Mary was cited as an example ˹in argument˺, your people ˹O Prophet˺ broke into ˹joyful˺ applause. 1014

58. They exclaimed, "Which is better: our gods or Jesus?" They cite him only to argue. In fact, they are a people prone to dispute.

59. He was only a servant We showed favour to, and made as an example for the Children of Israel.

60. Had We willed, We could have easily replaced you ˹all˺ with angels, 1015 succeeding one another on earth.

61. And his ˹second˺ coming is truly a sign for the Hour. So have no doubt about it, and follow me. This is the Straight Path.

62. And do not let Satan hinder you, ˹for˺ he is certainly your sworn enemy.

63. When Jesus came with clear proofs, he declared, "I have come to you with wisdom, and to clarify to you some of what you differ about. So fear Allah, and obey me.

64. Surely Allah ˹alone˺ is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him ˹alone˺. This is the Straight Path."

65. Yet their ˹various˺ groups have differed among themselves ˹about him˺, so woe to the wrongdoers when they face the torment of a painful Day!

66. Are they waiting for the Hour to take them by surprise when they least expect ˹it˺?

67. Close friends will be enemies to one another on that Day, except the righteous,


Commentary

1014. When 21:98 was revealed, warning the polytheists that all false gods will be in Hell, 'Abdullâh ibn Az-Ziba'ra, a poet who always attacked Islam, argued with the Prophet ( ﷺ ) that if what the verse says is true, then Jesus will be in Hell as well! The polytheists, who were present, laughed in agreement with this argument. The Prophet ( ﷺ ) replied that the verse was talking exclusively about idols, adding that Jesus himself did not ask anyone to worship him. Verse 21:101 was later revealed in support of the Prophet's argument. Eventually, 'Abdullâh accepted Islam.

1015. Or "We could have easily produced angels from you ..."
