مَا قُلْتُ لَهُمْ اِلَّا مَاۤ اَمَرْتَنِیْ بِهٖۤ اَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ رَبِّیْ وَرَبَّكُمْ ۚ وَكُنْتُ عَلَیْهِمْ شَهِیْدًا مَّا دُمْتُ فِیْهِمْ ۚ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّیْتَنِیْ كُنْتَ اَنْتَ الرَّقِیْبَ عَلَیْهِمْ ؕ وَاَنْتَ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ شَهِیْدٌ ۟

Saheeh International
I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allāh, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness.
Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir
Jesus will say to His Lord, ‘I only told people what you instructed me to tell them: to worship You alone. For as long as I remained amongst them I watched over what they were saying. When my term ended and I was raised to the sky alive, You, O Lord, were watching their actions. You are a witness to everything and nothing is hidden from You; so You know what I said to them and what they said after me’.
