John 5

Honoring the Father and the Son

17 Jesus responded to them, "My Father* 5:17 Mt 5:16; 11:27; Jn 8:42is still working, and I am working also."18 This is why the Jews began trying all the more to kill him:  * 5:18 Mt 12:14; 26:4; 27:1; Mk 3:6; 14:1; Lk 6:11; Jn 7:1,19; 10:33; 11:53 Not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal to God.
