The Feast
5:112 Recall that the disciples said, “O Jesus, son of Mary, can your Lord send down to us a feast from the sky?” He said, “You should reverence GOD, if you are believers.”
5:113 They said, “We wish to eat from it, and to reassure our hearts, and to know for sure that you have told us the truth. We will serve as witnesses thereof.”
Greater Miracles Bring Greater Responsibility*
5:114 Said Jesus, the son of Mary, “Our god, our Lord, send down to us a feast from the sky. Let it bring plenty for each and every one of us, and a sign from You. Provide for us; You are the best Provider.”
5:115 GOD said, “I am sending it down. Anyone among you who disbelieves after this, I will punish him as I never punished anyone else.”*
Footnote: *5:114-115 The Quran’s overwhelming miracle (Appendix One) is described in as “One of the greatest miracles,” and brings with it an uncommonly great responsibility.
