John 5:16-18
International Standard Version
16 So the Jewish leaders[a] began persecuting Jesus,[b] because he kept doing such things on the Sabbath.
17 But Jesus[c] answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I, too, am working.” 18 So the Jewish leaders[d] were trying all the harder to kill him, because he was not only breaking the Sabbath but was also calling God his own Father, thereby making himself equal to God.

John 5:16-18
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)
