John 5:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 And therefore the Jews did persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day.
17 [a]But Jesus answered them, My father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18 (A)Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him: not only because he had broken the Sabbath: but said also that God was [b]his Father, and made himself equal with God.

- John 5:17 The work of God was never the breach of the Sabbath: but the works of Christ are the works of the Father, both because they are one God, and also because the Father doth not work but in the Son.
- John 5:18 That is, his only and no man’s else, which they gather by that, that he saith, (And I work) applying this word (work) to himself, which is proper to God, and therefore maketh himself equal to God.
