John 5:16 in Context — John 5
14 Depois Jesus achou-o no Templo, e disse-lhe: Eis que já estás são; não peques mais, para que não te suceda alguma coisa pior.
15 Aquele homem foi anunciar aos judeus que Jesus era o que o curara.
16 E por isso os judeus perseguiam Jesus e procuravam matá-lo, porque ele fazia estas coisas no sábado.
17 E Jesus lhes respondeu: Meu Pai até agora trabalha, e eu [também] trabalho.
18 Por isto ainda mais procuravam os Judeus matá-lo, porque não só quebrava o sábado, mas também dizia que Deus era seu próprio Pai, fazendo-se igual a Deus.
