John 5:14-18 - Equal With God

14 Later on Jesus found the man in the Temple, and said to him, "Look, you have been made well; stop sinning or else something worse [i.e., than the handicap you had] will happen to you." 15 [Then] the man left and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

16 So, for this reason the Jews began persecuting Jesus, because He did these [kinds of] things on the Sabbath day. 17 But Jesus said to them, "My Father is continuing to work and I am working." 18 So, for this reason the Jews looked for more [opportunities] to kill Him, because He not only broke Sabbath day [restrictions], but also He had called God His own Father, [thereby] making Himself equal with God.
