John 5:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

God’s Son

¹⁶ So the Jews began to persecute Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. ¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working right up to the present time, and I am working too.”

¹⁸ This is why the Jews tried all the more to kill him, because he was not merely breaking the Sabbath, but was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
