John 5:16-24

John 5:16-24 CSB

Therefore, the Jews began persecuting  Jesus  because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.  Jesus responded to them, “My Father   is still working, and I am working also.” This is why the Jews began trying all the more to kill him:  Not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal to God. Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, the Son is not able to do anything on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father   does, the Son likewise does these things.   For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing, and he will show him greater works   than these so that you will be amazed. And just as the Father raises   the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom he wants.   The Father,   in fact, judges no one but has given all judgment to the Son, so that all people may honor the Son just as they honor the Father.   Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.   “Truly I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life   and will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life.
