16 Therefore, the Jews began to persecute Jesus because he did this on a sabbath.

17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is at work until now, so I am at work.”

18 For this reason the Jews tried all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but he also called God his own father, making himself equal to God.
