17But Jesus answered them, |My Father is still working, so I am working, too.|


In Context

14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, |Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.|

15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

16 For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.

17 But Jesus answered them, |My Father is still working, so I am working, too.|

18 For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

19 Jesus therefore answered them, |Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.
