John 5:16-18

16The Jews began to persecute Jesus because he kept healing people on the day of rest—a holy day.

17Jesus replied to them, “My Father is working right now, and so am I.”

18His reply made the Jews more intent on killing him. Not only did he break the laws about the day of rest—a holy day, but also he made himself equal to God when he said repeatedly that God was his Father.
