Ayah 116
Surah Al-Maaida
And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.﴿116﴾

Simplified Tafsir
واذكر إذ قال الله تعالى يوم القيامة: يا عيسى ابن مريم أأنت قلت للناس اجعلوني وأمي معبودين من دون الله؟ فأجاب عيسى -منزِّهًا الله تعالى-: ما ينبغي لي أن أقول للناس غير الحق. إن كنتُ قلتُ هذا فقد علمتَه؛ لأنه لا يخفى عليك شيء، تعلم ما تضمره نفسي، ولا أعلم أنا ما في نفسك. إنك أنت عالمٌ بكل شيء مما ظهر أو خفي.
