When Allah will say: O Isa son of Marium! Remember My favor on you and on your mother, when I strengthened you I with the holy Spirit, you spoke to the people in the cradle and I when of old age, and when I taught you the Book and the wisdom and the Taurat and the Injeel; and when you determined out of clay a thing like the form of a bird by My permission, then you breathed into it and it became a bird by My permission, and you healed the blind and the leprous by My permission; and when you brought forth the dead by My permission; and when I withheld the children of Israel from you when you came to them with clear arguments, but those who disbelieved among them said: This is nothing but clear enchantment.

And the enchanters came to Firon (and) said: We must surely have a reward if we are the prevailing ones.

He said: Cast. So when they cast, they deceived the people's eyes and frightened them, and they produced a mighty enchantment.

So when the truth came to them from Us they said: This is most surely clear enchantment!

Musa said: Do you say (this) of the truth when it has come to you? Is it magic? And the magicians are not successful.

And when the magicians came, Musa said to them: Cast down what you have to cast.

So when they cast down, Musa said to them: What you have brought is deception; surely Allah will make it naught; surely Allah does not make the work of mischief-makers to thrive.

And certainly We gave Musa nine clear signs; so ask the children of Israel. When he came to them, Firon said to him: Most surely I deem you, O Musa, to be a man deprived of reason.

Said he: Have you come to us that you should turn us out of our land by your magic, O Musa?

And when the magicians came, they said to Firon: Shall we get a reward if we are the vanquishers?

So when Our clear signs came to them, they said: This is clear enchantment.

So when Musa came to them with Our clear signs, they said: This is nothing but forged enchantment, and we never heard of it amongst our fathers of old.

But (now) when the truth has come to them from Us, they say: Why is he not given the like of what was given to Musa? What! did they not disbelieve in what Musa was given before? They say: Two magicians backing up each other; and they say: Surely we are unbelievers in all.

And when Our clear communications are recited to them, they say: This is naught but a man who desires to turn you away from that which your fathers worshipped. And they say: This is naught but a lie that is forged. And those who disbelieve say of the truth when it comes to them: This is only clear enchantment.

And they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, and the disbelievers say: This IS an enchanter, a liar.

And when there came to them the truth they said: This is magic, and surely we are disbelievers in it.

And when Our clear communications are recited to them, those who disbelieve say with regard to the truth when it comes to them: This is clear magic.

And when Isa son of Marium said: O children of Israel! surely I am the messenger of Allah to you, verifying that which is before me of the Taurat and giving the good news of an Messenger who will come after me, his name being Ahmad, but when he came to them with clear arguments they said: This is clear magic.
