John 5:16-18
Jubilee Bible 2000
16 And for this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him: because he had done these things on a sabbath.
17 ¶ But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now, and I work.
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with 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)
