John 5:16-18

New King James Version

Honor the Father and the Son

¹⁶ For this reason the Jews ^(A)persecuted Jesus, ^[a]and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath. ¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, ^(B)“My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”

¹⁸ Therefore the Jews ^(C)sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, ^(D)making Himself equal with God.
