Mary
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[19:34]
SUCH WAS, in the words of truth, Jesus the son of Mary, about whose nature they so deeply disagree.

* v.34 : Lit., “about whom they are in doubt,” or “about whom they [vainly] dispute”: an allusion to the many conflicting views about the nature of Jesus and his origins, ranging from the blasphemous Jewish assertion that he was a “false prophet” and the product of a shameful, illicit union (cf. 4:156), to the Christian belief that he was “the son of God” and, therefore, God incarnate. In this connection, see also 3:59 and the corresponding note 47.
