John 5:16-20 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

16. Therefore, the Jews began to persecute Jesus because he did this on a sabbath.

17. But Jesus answered them, “My Father is at work until now, so I am at work.”

18. For this reason the Jews tried all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but he also called God his own father, making himself equal to God.

19. Jesus answered and said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, a son cannot do anything on his own, but only what he sees his father doing; for what he does, his son will do also.

20. For the Father loves his Son and shows him everything that he himself does, and he will show him greater works than these, so that you may be amazed.
