يَـٰٓأَهْلَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولُنَا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمْ كَثِيرًا مِّمَّا كُنتُمْ تُخْفُونَ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَيَعْفُوا۟ عَن كَثِيرٍ ۚ قَدْ جَآءَكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ نُورٌ وَكِتَـٰبٌ مُّبِينٌ

اے اہل کتاب! تمہارے پاس ہمارے پیغمبر (آخرالزماں) آ گئے ہیں کہ جو کچھ تم کتاب (الہٰی) میں سے چھپاتے تھے وہ اس میں سے بہت کچھ تمہیں کھول کھول کر بتا دیتے ہیں اور تمہارے بہت سے قصور معاف کر دیتے ہیں بےشک تمہارے پاس خدا کی طرف سے نور اور روشن کتاب آ چکی ہے
People of the Book, our Messenger has come to you, making clear to you much of what you used to hide of the Scripture, and overlooking much. A light has come to you from God, and a clear Book,
Two verbs share the work in this verse, and they pull opposite ways: the Messenger discloses much of what had been kept back, and passes over much of the rest without naming it. Restraint is written into the errand itself. The same verb for that passing over was given to the Prophet as an instruction two verses earlier, about these very people, so what he does with their scripture matches what he was told to do with them.
