فيبعث الله تعالى عيسى بن مريم صلى الله عليه وسلم ،
Then Allah, the Exalted, will send Jesus, son of Mary, peace be upon him,
عِيسَى Jesus
This is the object of 'will send', 'Jesus', in the accusative — though its fixed final vowel never changes for case, so position tells its role here. It is followed by 'son of...' identifying him.

فَيَأْتُونَ عِيسَى
Then they will come to Jesus.
عِيسَى to Jesus
A proper name in the object slot, the goal the coming reaches; the motion-verb takes its destination-person as a direct object. Being a name, it is definite without 'the'. English supplies 'to', while Arabic simply sets the goal in the object position.
لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ فِي الْمَهْدِ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةٌ عِيسَى،
No one spoke in the cradle except three, Jesus,
عِيسَى Jesus
A proper name 'Jesus' placed right after 'three' to begin spelling out who they were, standing in apposition to the numeral. It renames part of the 'three', so it shares their role as the exceptions rather than adding a new slot.
بَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لِعِيسَى اِبْنِ مَرْيَمِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ
I was informed that it was said to Jesus, son of Mary, peace be upon him:
لِعِيسَى to Jesus
A preposition meaning 'to' fused to the front of a proper name, marking the one addressed and putting the name in the 'of' (genitive) form. It tells whom the saying was directed at. The 'to' and the name are written as one unit.
وَرُوِيَ أَنَّ إِبْلِيسَ جَاءَ إِلَى عِيسَى ﵇
And it was narrated that Iblis came to Jesus, peace be upon him.
عِيسَى Jesus
A proper name ending in a long vowel that stays fixed, so its case is not shown by a visible ending here; the preposition before it still assigns it the genitive role of 'the one approached'. It names the destination of the motion verb earlier in the sentence.
اذهبوا إلى عيسى، فيأتون عيسى، فيقولون يا عيسى أنت رسول الله وكلمته ألقاها إلى مريم وروح منه ،
Go to Jesus; then they come to Jesus, then they say, O Jesus, you are the Messenger of God, His word He cast into Mary, and a spirit from Him.
عِيسَى Jesus
A proper name as the goal of 'to'; the long final vowel stays put and the name resists visible case change, but grammatically it is the destination the preposition governs.
اذهبوا إلى عيسى، فيأتون عيسى، فيقولون يا عيسى أنت رسول الله وكلمته ألقاها إلى مريم وروح منه ،
Go to Jesus; then they come to Jesus, then they say, O Jesus, you are the Messenger of God, His word He cast into Mary, and a spirit from Him.
عِيسَى Jesus
The name repeats as the one reached, Arabic favouring a restated noun over a pronoun like 'him' to keep the reference clear across the verb chain. It is the object of the coming.
اذهبوا إلى عيسى، فيأتون عيسى، فيقولون يا عيسى أنت رسول الله وكلمته ألقاها إلى مريم وروح منه ،
Go to Jesus; then they come to Jesus, then they say, O Jesus, you are the Messenger of God, His word He cast into Mary, and a spirit from Him.
عِيسَى Jesus
The addressee being called, sitting in the special form that follows the call-particle; naming him directly opens the appeal.
