And certainlyWe gave toMoosathe Book,and We followed-upfromafter himwith the messengers.And We gaveEssa,son ofMaryam,the clarifications,and strengthened himwith spirit ofthe dedication.Is it not, that whenevercame to youa messenger,with whatnotdesiredyour egos,you became contemptuous?A groupyou deniedand a groupyou murdered.
And verily We gave unto Moses the Scripture and We caused a train of messengers to follow after him, and We gave unto Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs (of Allah's sovereignty), and We supported him with the Holy spirit. Is it ever so, that, when there cometh unto you a messenger (from Allah) with that which ye yourselves desire not, ye grow arrogant, and some ye disbelieve and some ye slay?

Certainly, We gave Moses the Book and followed him with the apostles, and We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, manifest proofs and confirmed him with the Holy Spirit. Is it not that whenever an apostle brought you that which was not to your liking, you would act arrogantly; so you would impugn a group [of them], and slay a[nother] group?
- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
We gave the Book to Moses and made the Messengers follow in his path. To Jesus, the son of Mary, We gave the miracles and supported him by the Holy Spirit. Why do you arrogantly belie some Messengers and murder others whenever they have brought you messages that you dislike?
- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
And most certainly We gave Musa the Book and We sent apostles after him one after another; and We gave Isa, the son of Marium, clear arguments and strengthened him with the holy spirit, What! whenever then an apostle came to you with that which your souls did not desire, you were insolent so you called some liars and some you slew.
- Shakir, Habib

To Moses We gave the Book and sent a succession of messengers after him. We gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear signs and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. But, whenever a messenger came to you with something which you did not desire, you grew arrogant, calling some liars and slaying others.

ہم نے موسٰی علیھ السّلام کو کتاب دی ان کے پیچھے رسولوںکا سلسلہ قائم کیا. عیسٰی علیھ السّلام بن مریم کو واضح معجزات عطا کئےً روح القدس سے ان کی تائید کرادی لیکن کیا تمہارا مستقل طریقہ یہی ہے کہ جب کوئی رسول علیھ السّلام تمہاری خواہش کے خلاف کوئی پیغام لے کر آتا ہے تو اکڑ جاتے ہو اور ایک جماعت کو جھٹلا دیتے ہو اور ایک کو قتل کردیتے ہو
- Jawadi, Zeeshan

ہم نے موسیٰؑ کو کتاب دی، اس کے بعد پے در پے رسول بھیجے، آخر کار عیسیٰؑ ابن مریمؑ کو روشن نشانیاں دے کر بھیجا اور روح پاک سے اس کی مدد کی پھر یہ تمہارا کیا ڈھنگ ہے کہ جب بھی کوئی رسول تمہاری خواہشات نفس کے خلاف کوئی چیز لے کر تمہارے پاس آیا، تو تم نے اس کے مقابلے میں سرکشی ہی کی، کسی کو جھٹلایا اور کسی کو قتل کر ڈالا
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اور بے شک ہم نے موسیٰ کو کتاب عطا کی اور اس کے بعد پے در پے رسول بھیجے اور ہم نے عیسیٰ بن مریم کو کھیلی نشانیاں عطا فرمائیں اور پاک روح سے اس کی مدد کی تو کیا جب تمہارے پاس کوئی رسول وہ لے کر آئے جو تمہارے نفس کی خواہش نہیں تکبر کرتے ہو تو ان (انبیاء) میں ایک گروہ کو تم جھٹلاتے ہو اور ایک گروہ کو شہید کرتے ہو -
- Ahmed Raza

البتہ ہم نے موسیٰ کو کتاب (توراۃ) عطا کی۔ اور ان کے بعد ہم نے پے در پے رسول بھیجے اور عیسیٰ بن مریم کو کھلی نشانیاں عطا کیں اور روح القدس کے ذریعہ سے ان کی تائید کی۔ (اس کے باوجود جب بھی کوئی رسول تمہاری خواہشات نفسی کے خلاف کوئی حکم لے کر تمہارے پاس آیا تو تم نے تکبر کیا سو بعض کو جھٹلایا اور بعض کو قتل کر ڈالا۔
- Najafi, Muhammad
And certainly We gave to Moosa the Book, and We followed-up from after him with the messengers. And We gave Essa, son of Maryam, the clarifications, and strengthened him with spirit of the dedication. Is it not, that whenever came to you a messenger, with what not desired your egos, you became contemptuous? A group you denied and a group you murdered. [ 2 : 87 ]

This website is a work of passion. It exists only for a couple of reasons:
1) I wanted to understand the Book without involving any second-party sources of guidance i.e. exegesis, or Asbab-e-Nuzul, or extra-Quranic ahadith, etc. 2) You must also know what the bare truth is, so we can work together.
Because the process must be transparent, the entire website is available for you to download. You can go through the code, and if you can make any improvements to this process, you are most welcome to. It is a humble request to update me regarding the improvements so I can also update myself.
Due Credits:
This website was possible by help of many people and forums who helped me to learn Arabic, Philosophy, Law, Psychology, and PHP and other Web scripts. To be honest, I do not even know the names of many but I did learn from them. Some of these people were already dead by the time I read their input.
The entire code of this website is available for the same reason, that what they taught me, I can only pay it forward.
The Arabic text of the Quran was obtained from Tanzil. The additional translations were also obtained from Tanzil from this link.
The social-sharing images of verses were obtained from Legacy Quran.com, and were then resized for proper social-media display.
