Correlation of Verses

After describing the intention of the people of Jesus (a.s.) to plot against him and their decision to kill him, the verse under discussion speaks of God’s subtle planning and good decree concerning the Messiah (a.s.), and recalls the blessing bestowed upon him.(536)

God’s plan manifested when He said to Jesus (a.s.): I will take you completely and raise you to Myself and purify you from the disbelievers, and place your followers above the disbelievers until the Day of Resurrection; then your return will all be to Me, so I will judge between you concerning that about which you used to differ.
