"Pickthall: 27Then she brought him to her own folk, carrying him. They said: O Mary! Thou hast come with an amazing thing.28O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a wicked man nor was thy mother a harlot.29Then she pointed to him. They said: How can we talk to one who is in the cradle, a young boy?30He spake: Lo! I am the slave of Allah. He hath given me the Scripture and hath appointed me a Prophet,31And hath made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and hath enjoined upon me prayer and almsgiving so long as I remain alive,32And (hath made me) dutiful toward her who bore me, and hath not made me arrogant, unblest.33Peace on me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!34Such was Jesus, son of Mary: (this is) a statement of the truth concerning which they doubt.35It befitteth not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should take unto Himself a son. Glory be to Him! When He decreeth a thing, He saith unto it only: Be! and it is.36And lo! Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So serve Him. That is the right path.37The sects among them differ: but woe unto the disbelievers from the meeting of an awful Day.38See and hear them on the Day they come unto Us! yet the evil-doers are to-day in error manifest.39And warn them of the Day of anguish when the case hath been decided. Now they are in a state of carelessness, and they believe not."
