i am not able to make definitive statements from this verse, although i do feel since we believe him to be alive ‘he is the last of them’ and he is the one who made the prayer, down to you can refer to the earth, the earth only, as a start point and heaven, there is denial clauses for the disciples but not him (except if they refused after the warning and then he (alaihis salam) refused), he did not disbelieve after it, the maidah can still be his but the sustenance part of the prayer can be detached from the maidah part aswell.

if you appreciate that we believe Isa Alaihis Salam to be returning you will see the beauty of this part, ie look who made this prayer and look how Allah SWT answered his messengers prayer:
“…a sign from You; and provide us sustenance, for You are the Best of sustainers.”
your right it does say us but theres release clauses (refusal, disbelief, death) for the others but not Isa AS. so us eventually becomes 1 person only

however i am not going to push this on you or argue with you over its interpretation since the variables are too many.

I see the beauty of this verse even after having an unshakable belief of Jesus a.s death.

If you read 3/4 verses before and 3/4 verses of the topic you are talking about , you would know that Jesus a.s asked allah to provide food for them, not by going to heavens but rather Allah says he will send down food. His prayer was in a way asking for food and making that food a way of sustaining them. As we know,f ood provide sustenance. We ask our Allah the same way. Many of our duaas are like that. We ask for increment in rizq and then we say provide us Rizq and sustain us with it as you are the best of sustainer. It does not mean to keep us alive for 2000 years or anything like that, nor did Jesus a.s mean this at all. Allah says in the next verse that I will send down food for you and if then they disbelieve after, He will punish them. Keep in mind, the whole topic surrounding it is about food and how Allah is the sustainer. It could very well mean that people who do believe, Allah will sustain them with food and people who wont be under the wrath of Allah.

There is no question about Jesus a.s living till this long for this duaa. The duaa was to keep them all sustenance with food. Not without it.

Hope I was clear enough.
