Verse 87

وَلَقَدْ And indeed ءَاتَيْنَا We gave مُوسَى Musa ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book وَقَفَّيْنَا and We followed up مِنۢ from بَعْدِهِۦ after him بِٱلرُّسُلِ ۖ with [the] Messengers وَءَاتَيْنَا And We gave عِيسَى Isa ٱبْنَ (the) son مَرْيَمَ (of) Maryam ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ [the] clear signs وَأَيَّدْنَـٰهُ and We supported him بِرُوحِ (with) ٱلْقُدُسِ ۗ the Holy Spirit أَفَكُلَّمَا Is it (not) so (that) whenever جَآءَكُمْ came to you رَسُولٌۢ a Messenger بِمَا with what لَا (does) not تَهْوَىٰٓ desire أَنفُسُكُمُ yourselves ٱسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ you acted arrogantly فَفَرِيقًۭا So a party كَذَّبْتُمْ you denied وَفَرِيقًۭا and a party تَقْتُلُونَ you kill(ed) ٨٧

And We did certainly give Moses the Scripture [i.e., the Torah] and followed up after him with messengers. And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs and supported him with the Pure Spirit [i.e., the angel Gabriel]. But is it [not] that every time a messenger came to you, [O Children of Israel], with what your souls did not desire, you were arrogant? And a party [of messengers] you denied and another party you killed.
