The [[Quran]] follows the [[apocryphal gospels]], and especially in the [[Gospel of James|Protoevangelium of James]], in its accounts of the miraculous births of both Mary and her son Jesus,{{sfn|Bell|2012|p=110}} but while it affirms the virgin birth of Jesus it denies the Trinitarian implications of the gospel story (Jesus is a messenger of God but also a human being and not the second person of the Christian Trinity).{{sfn|Hulmes|1993|p=640}} {{qref|3|35-36|c=y}}, for example, follows the Protoevangelium closely when describing how the pregnant "wife of Imran" (that is, Mary's mother) dedicates her unborn child to God, Mary's secluded upbringing within the Temple, and the angels who bring her food.{{sfn|Reynolds|2018|pp=55–56}}
