In context
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. 19So Jesus answered them, “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing on his own, only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son does the same.
