God says And they the disbelievers among the Children of Israel schemed against Jesus by assigning someone to assassinate him; and God schemed by casting the likeness of Jesus onto the person who intended to kill him and so they killed him while Jesus was raised up into heaven; and God is the best of schemers most knowledgeable of him Jesus.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(And they schemed) they, i.e. the Jews, planned to kill Jesus, (and Allah schemed (against them)) Allah wished to kill their man Tatianos: (and Allah is the best of schemers) the strongest of those who have a will; it is also said this means: the best of Makers.
