"The Messiah, son of Mary, was naught but a messenger - messengers have passed away before him. And his mother was truthful. Both of them ate food. Behold how We make signs clear unto them; yet behold how they are perverted!"
Quran 5:75
We've talked at length about how Jesus and Mary are revered in the Quran and more generally throughout Islam, although, again, they are not viewed the same way that they are viewed in Christianity. Here is one of the statements that reminds the readers that they are both humans, who "ate food," which is an interesting turn of phrase to emphasize their humanity. While Jesus is referred to as "the Messiah," the point is once again made that he is "naught but a messengers - messengers have passed away before him." Somewhat passages also relate to the Prophet, who, although he is considered to be the final prophet, is still considered to be only a man. This passage is drawn from the 5th surah, al-Ma'idah, here rendered as "The Table Spread."
