Allah then explained the creation of Jesus without a father because the delegation of Najran asked the Prophet to provide proof from the Qur'an for his saying that Jesus was not the son of Allah, so Allah said: (Lo! the likeness of Jesus) the likeness of the creation of Jesus (with Allah) without a father (is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust) without a father or mother, (then He said unto him) to Jesus: (Be! and he is) a son without a father.

Al-Jalalayn Commentary
Truly the likeness of Jesus his remarkable case in God’s sight is as Adam’s likeness as the case of Adam whom God created without father or mother this is a comparison of one remarkable thing with another more remarkable so that it convinces the disputer and establishes itself in one’s mind more effectively. He created him Adam that is his form of dust then said He to him ‘Be’ a human being and he was; similarly He said to Jesus ‘Be’ — without a father — and he was.
