Sura 43
Aya 63
63
وَلَمّا جاءَ عيسىٰ بِالبَيِّناتِ قالَ قَد جِئتُكُم بِالحِكمَةِ وَلِأُبَيِّنَ لَكُم بَعضَ الَّذي تَختَلِفونَ فيهِ ۖ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطيعونِ

Muhammad Asad

NOW WHEN Jesus came [to his people] with all evidence of the truth, he said: "I have now come unto you with wisdom,1 and to make clear unto you some of that on which you are at variance:2 hence, be conscious of God, and pay heed unto me.
  • I.e., with divine revelation.
  • According to Tabari, the restrictive allusion to "some of that..., etc., bears on the realm of faith and morals alone, since it was not a part of Jesus' mission to deal with problems of his people's worldly life. This observation coincides with the image of Jesus forthcoming from the (admittedly fragmentary) description of his teachings available to us in the Synoptic Gospels.
