John 5:16-18
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
16 And this was why the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did this on the sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working still, and I am working.” 18 This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath[a] but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God.
