O sister of Aaron!15 Thy father was not a man of wickedness, nor unchaste thy mother.”

And she made a sign to them, pointing towards the babe.  They said, “How shall we speak with him who is in the cradle, an infant?”

It said,16 “Verily, I am the servant of God; He hath given me the Book, and He hath made me a prophet;

And He hath made me blessed wherever I may be, and hath enjoined me prayer and almsgiving so long as I shall live;

And to be duteous to her that bare me:  and he hath not made me proud, depraved.

And the peace of God was on me the day I was born, and will be the day I shall die, and the day I shall be raised to life.”

This is Jesus, the son of Mary; this is a statement of the truth concerning which they doubt.

It beseemeth not God to beget a son.  Glory be to Him! when he decreeth a thing, He only saith to it, Be, and it Is.17

And verily, God is my Lord and your Lord; adore Him then.  This is the right way.

But the Sects have fallen to variance among themselves about Jesus:  but woe, because of the assembly of a great day, to those who believe not!

Make them hear, make them behold the day when they shall come before us!  But the offenders this day are in a manifest error.

O my Father! verily now hath knowledge come to me which hath not come to thee.  Follow me therefore-I will guide thee into an even path.

O my Father! worship not Satan, for Satan is a rebel against the God of Mercy.

O my Father! indeed I fear lest a chastisement from the God of Mercy light upon thee, and thou become Satan’s vassal.”

He said, “Castest thou off my Gods, O Abraham?  If thou forbear not, I will surely stone thee.  Begone from me for a length of time.”

He said, “Peace be on thee!  I will pray my Lord for thy forgiveness, for he is gracious to me: 

But I will separate myself from you, and the gods ye call on beside God, and on my Lord will I call.  Haply, my prayers to my Lord will not be with ill success.”

And when he had separated himself from them and that which they worshipped beside God, we bestowed on him Isaac and Jacob, and each of them we made a prophet: 

And we bestowed gifts on them in our mercy, and gave them the lofty tongue of truth."19

And commemorate Moses in “the Book;” for he was a man of purity:  moreover he was an Apostle, a Prophet:
