Asad’s Note - 37 [on sura 19 Marium, Mecca 44] The mention of Moses and other prophets in this context serves to reinforce the statement that

all of them - like Jesus - were but mortal servants of God whom He had inspired with His message to man (cf verse 30 above). As regards the distinction between the terms "prophet" (nabi) and "apostle" (rasul), see the opening clause of 22:52 and the corresponding note 65.
