John 5:14-18 - Equal With God

14 After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou have become well. Sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee. 15 The man departed and reported to the Jews that Jesus is the man who made him well.

16 And because of this the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on a Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now and I work. 18 Because of this therefore the Jews sought even more to kill him, because not only did he relax the Sabbath, but also he called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.
