John 5:16 in Context — John 5
14 Después le halló Jesús en el templo, y díjole: He aquí, has sido sanado; no peques más, porque no te venga alguna cosa peor.
15 El se fué, y dió aviso á los Judíos, que Jesús era el que le había sanado.
16 Y por esta causa los Judíos perseguían á Jesús, y procuraban matarle, porque hacía estas cosas en sábado.
17 Y Jesús les respondió: Mi Padre hasta ahora obra, y yo obro.
18 Entonces, por tanto, más procuraban los Judíos matarle, porque no sólo quebrantaba el sábado, sino que también á su Padre llamaba Dios, haciéndose igual á Dios.
