spacerQur'an 5:116-118

116. And behold! Allah will say "O Jesus the son of Mary! didst thou say unto men, "Worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah"? He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, Thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, though I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.

117. "Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say, to wit, 'Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord'; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when Thou didst take me up, thou wast the Watcher over them, and Thou art a Witness to all things.

118. "If Thou dost punish them, they are Thy servants: if Thou dost forgive them, Thou art the Exalted; the Wise."

Qur'an 5:116-118
