The point has been made and is crystal clear but I want to go further here.
The Qur'an confirms that Jesus is sinless…
He said: I am only a messenger of thy Lord, that I may bestow on thee a faultless son. Sura Maryam 19:19 (Pickthal)
The Qur'an tells us that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was given a sinless Son. A son who is faultless and perfect in the eyes of God, whose nature is sinless and who did no act of sin. God says He did this so that Jesus, the son of Mary, would be an example to all the nations of the world.
The Qur'an confirms that Jesus was born of virgin...
And she who was chaste, therefore We breathed into her (something) of Our Spirit and made her and her son a token for (all) peoples. Sura Am-biya' 21:91(Pickthal)
The Qur'an confirms that Jesus Christ had no earthly or physical father. It also tells us that God breathed His "Holy Sprit" in Jesus. "She who was chaste" means she who was a pure virgin, meaning Jesus was born of a Virgin.
The Qur'an confirms that all men are sinners.
Those who avoid enormities of sin and abominations,...Therefore ascribe not purity unto yourselves. Sura Najm 53: 32 (Pickthal)
The Qur'an confirms that all men are sinners and therefore impure in the eyes of the Holy and Perfect God. It tells us not to ascribe or connect purity with ourselves (human beings) because we are neither pure nor sinless. Only God is pure and holy.
And Mary, daughter of 'Imran, whose body was chaste, therefore We breathed therein something of Our Spirit. And she put faith in the words of her Lord and His scriptures, and was of the obedient. Sura Tahrim 66:12(Pickthal)
The Qur'an again confirms that Jesus Christ had no earthly or physical father. It again tells us that God breathed His " Holy Sprit" in Jesus. Please note that this is a unique Birth for Jesus alone, no other person or prophet or holy man ever or will ever be born this way.
So, Jesus was sinless according to both the Bible and the Qur'an and had no physical father according to both also, Muhammad, Moses etc all sinned and all had physical fathers, Jesus is the judge, the only fair judge is God so along with this and the above, it is clear that Jesus must be God.
