Journey Through the Bible

John 5:16-18

16 Life Through the Son
So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews persecuted him.

17 Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.”

18 For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
