John 5:10-18
10
so the Judeans said to the man who had been healed, “It’s Shabbat! It’s against Torah for you to carry your mat!”
11
But he answered them, “The man who healed me — he’s the one who told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”
12
They asked him, “Who is the man who told you to pick it up and walk?”
13
But the man who had been healed didn’t know who it was, because Yeshua had slipped away into the crowd.
14
Afterwards Yeshua found him in the Temple court and said to him, “See, you are well! Now stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you!”
15
The man went off and told the Judeans it was Yeshua who had healed him;
16
and on account of this, the Judeans began harassing Yeshua because he did these things on Shabbat.
17
But he answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I too am working.”
18
This answer made the Judeans all the more intent on killing him — not only was he breaking Shabbat; but also, by saying that God was his own Father, he was claiming equality with God.
