John 5:16-18
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 5

16For this reason the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on a Sabbath. 17But He answered them, 'My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working.'
18For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
King James Version

Chapter 5

16And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. 17But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. 18Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 5

16Therefore, the Jews began persecuting Jesus because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.
17Jesus responded to them, "My Father is still working, and I am working also." 18This 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.
New Living Translation

Chapter 5

16So the Jewish leaders began harassing Jesus for breaking the Sabbath rules. 17But Jesus replied, 'My Father is always working, and so am I.' 18So the Jewish leaders tried all the harder to find a way to kill him. For he not only broke the Sabbath, he called God his Father, thereby making himself equal with God.
English Standard Version

Chapter 5

16So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. 17In his defense Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working." 18For this reason they tried 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 with God.
New King James Version
