John 5:14-18

¹⁴Later, Jesus found him in the temple and told him, “See, you have been made well! Don’t sin any more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”

¹⁵The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

¹⁶For this reason, the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.

¹⁷Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”

¹⁸Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
