John 5:16-19

John 5:16-19

[16] And  therefore  the Jews  persecute  Jesus,  and  because  he had done  on  the sabbath day.  [17] But  Jesus  answered  them,  Father  worketh  hitherto,  and I  work.  [18] Therefore  the Jews  sought  the more  to kill  him,  because  not  only  had broken  the sabbath,  but  also  that God  was his  Father,  making  himself  equal  with God.  [19] Then  answered  Jesus  and  said  unto them,  Verily,  I say  The Son  can  do  nothing  of  himself,  what  he seeth  the Father  do:  for  what things soever  he  doeth,  also  doeth  the Son  likewise.
