John 5:16-18 And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

RKJNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. ¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, My Father works even until now, and I work. ¹⁸ Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but also said that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
