John 5:16 in Context — John 5
14 Depuis, Jésus le trouva dans le temple, et lui dit: Voici, tu as été guéri;ne pèche plus, de peur qu’il ne t’arrive quelque chose de pire.
15 Cet homme s’en alla, et annonça aux Juifs que c’était Jésus qui l’avait guéri.
16 C’est pourquoi les Juifs poursuivaient Jésus, parce qu’il faisait ces choses le jour du sabbat.
17 Mais Jésus leur répondit: Mon Père agit jusqu’à présent; moi aussi, j’agis.
18 A cause de cela, les Juifs cherchaient encore plus à le faire mourir, non seulement parce qu’il violait le sabbat, mais parce qu’il appelait Dieu son propre Père, se faisant lui-même égal à Dieu.
