55. This tells us that Prophets at the time of birth, in their lifetime, at their time of death and in the Hereafter, are under the protection of Allah Almighty.Â
We further learn that these gracious personalities are fully aware of their end result. Anyone who says that the Holy Prophet ?had no knowledge about what would be his own result; is rejecting the veracity of these verses.
It should be remembered that the first thing which Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) spoke about was his own servitude or slavehood to Allah Almighty, because people were on the verge of calling him the son of Allah Almighty, which he refuted. Also, he spoke about the innocence and chastity of his mother, because every person would be able to think that such a pure child can only be born from the womb of a pure and chaste mother, because an illegitimate baby and an illegitimate off-spring cannot be a saint. The status of Prophethood is very elevated. The allegation was levelled against the mother, but he spoke about his own attributes and virtues as an expression of Divine favours. This is the way of the Prophets.

The tafsir of Surah Maryam verse 33 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Maryam ayat 27 which provides the complete commentary from verse 27 through 33.
(19:33) Peace be upon me the day I was born and the day I will die, and the day I will be raised up alive.”[21]
21. This speech in the cradle by Jesus was the sign to which the angel referred in (Surah Maryam, Ayat 21). As Allah intended to punish the children of Israel for their continuous wicked ways and evil deeds, He made a pious virgin girl of the family of Prophet Aaron, who had devoted herself to worship in the Temple under the patronage of Zachariah, bear a child and bring it before her people in order to concentrate the whole attention of the thousands of people assembled there on this extraordinary event. Then He made this new born child speak out even in the cradle that he had been appointed a Prophet. Though they had seen this wonderful sign of Allah, they rejected the Prophethood of Jesus and brought him to the court for crucifixion, and thus incurred the wrath of Allah. For further details, please see (Surah Aal-Imran, ayat 47) note 44 and (Surah Aal-Imran, ayat 59) note 53, and (Surah An-Nisa, ayat 171) note 212, 213.
