ولقد اتينا موسى الكتاب وقفينا من بعده بالرسل واتينا عيسى ابن مريم البينات وايدناه بروح القدس افكلما جاءكم رسول بما لا تهوى انفسكم استكبرتم ففريقا كذبتم وفريقا تقتلون

We gave Moses the Book And followed him up With a succession of Apostles; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs) and strengthened him With the holy spirit. Is it That whenever there comes to you An Apostle with what ye Yourselves desire not, ye are Puffed up with pride?— Some ye called impostors, And others ye slay!
