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.
