John 5:16-18

New Living Translation

Jesus Claims to Be the Son of God

¹⁶ So the Jewish leaders began harassing^[a] Jesus for breaking the Sabbath rules. ¹⁷ But Jesus replied, “My Father is always working, and so am I.” ¹⁸ So the Jewish leaders tried all the harder to find a way to kill him. For he not only broke the Sabbath, he called God his Father, thereby making himself equal with God.
