John 5:16
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.
In context
14 Afterward, Jesus found the man at the temple and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you.”
15 And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.
17 But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”
18 Because 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.
