Jesus: Healing and asking for support

The sending of Jesus as a messenger to the Children of Israel is described. He says that he has brought them a sign from their Lord. The forming of a bird shape from clay, the healing of vision and skin diseases, and the reviving of the dead are mentioned. It is specifically stated that these extraordinary events do not occur by his own independent power, but by the permission of Allah.

His statement that he will tell them what they eat and what they store in their houses is also included among these signs. He states that he confirms the Torah that is before him and that he has come to make lawful some things that were previously forbidden. His message is not limited to showing astonishing events; it is a call to apostleship and responsibility.

Jesus says that Allah is both his Lord and their Lord and calls them to serve Him. When he senses disbelief, he asks who will help him in the way of Allah. The disciples respond to this call; they declare that they believe in Allah and are His helpers. A support community around the messenger thus becomes visible.

The disciples offer a prayer to their Lord, stating that they believe in the revealed revelation and follow the messenger. They wish to be recorded among the witnesses. This passage extends from signs to the invitation and the response given to the invitation. The miracles here are not a justification for promising a patient a definite recovery today; the narrative describes the special signs of apostleship given to Jesus.
