The third relevant passage consists of verses 116-117 of Surah Al-Maidah. This passage presents a conversation between Allah and Jesus to be held on the occasion of the Day of Judgment. It is thus an event that will occur in the future, which Allah has already described.
These verses explain that on the Day of Judgment, Allah will ask Jesus (PBUH) in front of his followers - the Christians - whether he had told them to take him and his mother as deities other than Allah. Jesus will respond by saying: ‘How can I allow myself to make a statement that I am not allowed to make? If I had said such a thing, You would surely have known it. I told them nothing but what You commanded me to tell. While among them, I was a witness to their actions, but after You caused me to die, I was no longer watching over them. From my death to the Day of Judgment, it was You who was overseeing them. Hence, You are more aware of what they did.’
The verses mention falammā tawaffaytanī kunta anta ar-raqība ‘alayhim. (Then when You gave death to me, after that You have remained the Watcher over them), clarifying that Allah caused Jesus to die (and raised him up to Himself), he had no knowledge of his followers’ affairs until the Day of Judgment. The verses cited are as follows:
وَاِذْ قَالَ اللّٰهُ يٰعِيْسَي ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ ءَاَنْتَ قُلْتَ لِلنَّاسِ اتَّخِذُوْنِيْ وَاُمِّيَ اِلٰهَيْنِ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ قَالَ سُبْحٰنَكَ مَا يَكُوْنُ لِيْ٘ اَنْ اَقُوْلَ مَا لَيْسَ لِيْ بِحَقٍّ اِنْ كُنْتُ قُلْتُهٗ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتَهٗ تَعْلَمُ مَا فِيْ نَفْسِيْ وَلَا٘ اَعْلَمُ مَا فِيْ نَفْسِكَ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوْبِ . مَا قُلْتُ لَهُمْ اِلَّا مَا٘ اَمَرْتَنِيْ بِهٖ٘ اَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ رَبِّيْ وَرَبَّكُمْﵐ وَكُنْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيْدًا مَّا دُمْتُ فِيْهِمْ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِيْ كُنْتَ اَنْتَ الرَّقِيْبَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَاَنْتَ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيْدٌ.
[Those who have concealed the evidence of God should keep in mind the day when this conversation takes place] and this also that when [after reminding people of it] God will ask: “Jesus son of Mary! Did you tell people: ‘Regard me and my mother as gods besides God?’” He will reply: “Glory be to You! How was it befitting for me to say something which I have no right to say? If I had said this, it would have been in Your knowledge [because] You know what is in my heart and I do not know what is in Your heart. Only You are aware of all hidden things. I only said to them what You commanded me: ‘Worship God, Who is my Lord and your Lord too.’ I watched over them as long as I remained among them. Then when You gave death to me, after that You have remained the Watcher over them and You are a witness to all things. (5:116-117)
These verses from the Qur’an detail the death of Jesus (PBUH) and his being raised to Allah. Of these, the verses from Surah Aale Imran mention both his death and ascension. In Surah An-Nisa, only the ascension is detailed while in Surah Al-Maidah, only the death is referenced. These verses indicate that Allah caused Jesus to die first and then raised him to Himself.
