Salaam all,

This is 2:87
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ وَقَفَّيْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِ بِالرُّسُلِ وَآتَيْنَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَأَيَّدْنَاهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ أَفَكُلَّمَا جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ بِمَا لاَ تَهْوَى أَنْفُسُكُمْ اسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ فَفَرِيقاً كَذَّبْتُمْ وَفَرِيقاً تَقْتُلُونَ

Note:
This Aya says “And WE (GOD) brought to Moses the book and we made follow from after him the messengers. And WE (GOD) brought to Jesus son of Mary the clarifications and we strengthened him with the holy spirit (the breeze of purification and sanctification). So, is it that whenever a messenger comes to you with other than the emptiness that yourselves desire, you considered yourselves and declared yourselves greater/above (the message)? So a group you declared liars and a group you kill?”

My personal note:
This Aya talks about the line of messengers including Moses and the following messengers including Jesus. The AYA says that Jesus was strengthened with the ROOH-QUDUS which is the word used for the Holy spirit and literally translated as the breeze of sanctification and purification. The AYA reminds us that we should be careful of the empty desires that we all have. Those empty desires may push us to not heed the message of GOD. It also reminds us to be humble in front of the message of GOD.
