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.

16 And on account of this the Jews began to persecute[a] Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But he answered[b] them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.” 18 So on account of this the Jews were seeking even more to kill him, because he not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God his own Father, thus[c] making himself equal with God.
