John 5:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ So they began harassing Jesus as a Sabbath breaker.

¹⁷ But Jesus replied, “My Father constantly does good, and I’m following his example.”^[a]

¹⁸ Then the Jewish leaders were all the more eager to kill him because in addition to disobeying their Sabbath laws, he had spoken of God as his Father, thereby making himself equal with God.
