And for this the Jews began to persecute Jesus: he did such things on the Sabbath.
In context
14Later Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well now. Sin no more, or something worse may happen to you.” 15The man went off and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. 16And for this the Jews began to persecute Jesus: he did such things on the Sabbath. 17But he answered them, “My Father is at work to this very moment, and I am at work as well.” 18At that the Jews were all the more determined to kill him: not only was he breaking the Sabbath, he was also calling God his own Father, making himself equal to God.
