Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Reminding `Isa of the Favors that Allah Granted himAllah mentions how He blessed His servant and Messenger, `Isa, son of Maryam, and the miracles and extraordinary acts He granted him. Allah said,اذْكُرْ نِعْمَتِى عَلَيْكَ(Remember My favor to you) when I created you from your mother, without male intervention, and made you a sign and clear proof of My perfect power over all things.
