John 5:16-18

Darby Translation

¹⁶ And for this the Jews persecuted Jesus [and sought to kill him], because he had done these things on sabbath.

¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto and I work.

¹⁸ For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.
