Word by word

وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَـٰبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ إِنِّى رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيْكُم مُّصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَىَّ مِنَ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ وَمُبَشِّرًۢا بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِى مِنۢ بَعْدِى ٱسْمُهُۥٓ أَحْمَدُ ۖ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ قَالُوا۟ هَـٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ

And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O Children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allāh to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Aḥmad." But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, "This is obvious magic."

واذكر -أيها الرسول لقومك- حين قال عيسى بن مريم لقومه: إني رسول الله إليكم، مصدِّقًا لما جاء قبلي من التوراة، وشاهدًا بصدق رسول يأتي من بعدي اسمه «أحمد» ، وهو محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، وداعيًا إلى التصديق به، فلما جاءهم محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم بالآيات الواضحات، قالوا: هذا الذي جئتنا به سحر بيِّن.
