Hence they become Prophets while others are not, even if they are engaged in propagational activities and do all deeds which are performed by Prophets.

 320. In this verse, there is the refutation of Christian beliefs of calling Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) as God. The words of Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) are that Allah Almighty is your Lord and my Lord and both of us are His servants.
