The Holy Quran 43:59 — Surah Az-Zukhruf

Arabic text

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا عَبْدٌ أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ مَثَلًا لِّبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

Translation

He (Isa عليه الصلاة والسلام) is but a slave (servant) on whom We have bestowed (blessed) Our bounties (by making him Our Rasool), and whom We have made an example for the Bani Israa'eel (and for mankind after them to prove to them that Allaah can create without the obvious means of a father).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
