Surah 5

Surah 5:19

"People of the Book! Our messenger has come to you, making (things) clear to you after an interval between the messengers, in case you should say, ‘No bringer of good news has come to us, nor any warner.’ Now a bringer of good news and a warner has come to you. God is powerful over everything."

5.19 – People of the Book! Our messenger has come to you, making (things) clear to you
Verses 15 and 19 flank the passage about the Messiah like a pair of parentheses. While verse 17 takes the Messiah down from his divine status in the Gospel, verses 15 and 19 raise up another – a messenger who will expound the hidden and make things plain.
