The Messiah would never feel too proud to be a servant of God, nor would the angels who are close (to God). He (God) shall bring before Him all those who are arrogant and look down on those worshipping Him (172)
....That was a consequence of their breaking their covenant, their denial of God's revelation, their killing of the prophets unjustly and their saying, "Our hearts are sealed." It is God who sealed their hearts, on account of their denial, and only a few of them would truly believe. It was also a consequence of their denial and their utterance of monstrous falsehoods against Mary. (155-56)
When Jesus became the target of slander and murderous intents, God saved him and confounded his enemies.
They had neither killed him, nor crucified him, but it was made to seem to them that they did. Those who disagree about that are confused; they have no knowledge thereof, going by pure conjecture, since they had certainly not killed him. God lifted him up to Him; God is Mighty and Wise. (157-58)
Nevertheless, for historical and other reasons, many people have come to believe in the crucifixion and salvation myths that have become a central part of Christian dogma and doctrine. This is due to ignorance, narrow-mindedness, and lack of enlightenment. God, affirming the escape and eventual ascent of Jesus and his submission to Him, maintains in these verses that were the people more enlightened, they would have taken a more sensible attitude:
But those of them who are deeply rooted in knowledge and the believers do believe in what has been sent down to you (Muhammad) and what was sent before you; and so do those who observe the prayer and give alms, and so do believers in God and the Last Day. We shall give all of these a great reward. (162)
