22 Then she conceived him; and withdrew with him to a remote place.

23 And the throes of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree. She said: Oh, would that I had died before this, and had been a thing quite forgotten!

24 So a voice came to her from beneath her: Grieve not, surely thy Lord has provided a stream beneath thee.

25 And shake towards thee the trunk of the palm-tree, it will drop on thee fresh ripe dates.

26 So eat and drink and cool the eye. Then if thou seest any mortal, say: Surely I have vowed a fast to the Beneficent, so I will not speak to any man today.

27 Then she came to her people with him, carrying him. They said: O Mary, thou hast indeed brought a strange thing!

28 O sister of Aaron, thy father was not a wicked man, nor was thy mother an unchaste woman!

29 But she pointed to him. They said: How should we speak to one who is a child in the cradle?

30 He said: I am indeed a servant of Allāh. He has given me the Book and made me a prophet:

31 And He has made me blessed wherever I may be, and He has enjoined on me prayer and poor-rate so long as I live:

32 And to be kind to my mother; and He has not made me insolent, unblessed.

33 And peace on me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I am raised to life.

34 Such is Jesus son of Mary — a statement of truth about which they dispute.

35 It beseems not Allāh that He should take to Himself a son. Glory be to Him! when He decrees a matter He only says to it, Be, and it is.

36 And surely Allāh is my Lord and your Lord, so serve Him. This is the right path.

37 But parties from among them differed; so woe to those who disbelieve, because of their presence on a grievous day!
