Why does 5:117 not show that Jesus (as) passed away?

From this answer: https://islam.stackexchange.com/a/79276/54227 > 5. > "I said nothing to them except that which Thou didst command me — ‘Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.’ And I was a witness over them > as long as I remained among them, but since Thou didst cause me to > die, Thou hast been the Watcher over them; and Thou art Witness over > all things." (5:117). > > This verse also uses tawaffa as توفيتني, ie. you caused me to die. > Naturally, here contemporary translators also change the meaning of > the Quran and use "you raised me up" though here it makes even less > sense. > > In this verse Jesus (as) is showing that he is unaware of what his > people did after his passing. He says that all he did was tell his > people to worship God, and that as long as he was with them he made > sure they didn't do otherwise. Now, if Jesus (as) is to come back, and > inform all the Christians of their falsehood, then Jesus (as) talking > as he does in this verse makes no sense. Since in this verse there is > no mention of Jesus (as) knowing what happened to his people after his > passing. In fact, if he did know, he would say here that, Oh God, my > people started to worship me – but don't worry You sent me back and I > stopped them from this and brought them back to the truth. But this is > nowhere mentioned. Not in this verse nor anywhere else in the Quran. > How could the Quran be blind to such a glaring fact? I want to know how do Muslims who believe Jesus (as) is alive can respond to this argument.
