ثُمَّ
قَفَّيْنَا
عَلَى
آثَارِهِم
بِرُسُلِنَا
وَقَفَّيْنَا
بِعِيسَى
ابْنِ
مَرْيَمَ
وَآتَيْنَاهُ
الْإِنجِيلَ
وَجَعَلْنَا
فِي
قُلُوبِ
الَّذِينَ
اتَّبَعُوهُ
رَأْفَةً
وَرَحْمَةً
وَرَهْبَانِيَّةً
ابْتَدَعُوهَا
مَا
كَتَبْنَاهَا
عَلَيْهِمْ
إِلَّا
ابْتِغَاءَ
رِضْوَانِ
اللَّهِ
فَمَا
رَعَوْهَا
حَقَّ
رِعَايَتِهَا
فَآتَيْنَا
الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
مِنْهُمْ
أَجْرَهُمْ
وَكَثِيرٌ
مِّنْهُمْ
فَاسِقُونَ

Then We sent Our other Messengers to follow their traditions. After them We sent Jesus, the son of Mary, to whom We gave the Gospel. In the hearts of his followers We placed compassion and mercy. We did not command them to lead the monastic life. This was their own method of seeking the pleasure of God. Despite this intention, they did not properly observe it (the monastic life). To the believers among them, We gave their reward but many of them are evil-doers.
