16 Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began persecuting him.

17 So he told them, |My Father is working until now, and I too am working.|

18 For this reason the Jewish leaders were trying even harder to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was also calling God his own Father, thus making himself equal with God.
