John 5:16-18
New Matthew Bible
16 And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought means to slay him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day.
17 And Jesus told them, My Father works until now, and I work.
18 Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, not only because he had broken the Sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, and made himself equal with God.

New International Version
The Authority of the Son
16 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. 17 In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father(A) is always at his work(B) to this very day, and I too am working.” 18 For this reason they tried all the more to kill him;(C) not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.(D)
