6 And when Jesus son of Mary said: O Children of Israel! Lo!

6 And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel!

But when he came to them with Clear Signs, they said, "this is evident sorcery!"

10 O ye who believe! Shall I show you a commerce that will save you from a painful doom ?

10 O ye who believe! Shall I lead you to a bargain that will save you from a grievous Penalty? -

11 Ye should believe in Allah and His messenger, and should strive for the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is better for you, if ye did but know.

14 O ye who believe! Be Allah's helpers, even as Jesus son of Mary said unto the disciples: Who are my helpers for Allah ? They said: We are Allah's helpers.

14 O ye who believe! Be ye helpers of Allah: As said Jesus the son of Mary to the Disciples, "Who will be my helpers to (the work of) Allah?" Said the disciples, "We are Allah's helpers!" then a portion of the Children of Israel believed, and a portion disbelieved: But We gave power to those who believed, against their enemies, and they became the ones that prevailed.
