John 5:18 in Context — John 5

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.

19 Respondeu pois Jesus, e disse-lhes: Em verdade, em verdade vos digo, que não pode o Filho fazer coisa alguma de si mesmo, a não ser aquilo que ele veja o Pai fazer; porque todas as coisas que ele faz, semelhantemente o Filho também as faz.

20 Porque o Pai ama ao Filho, e todas as coisas que faz lhe mostra; e maiores obras que estas lhe mostrará, para que vós vos maravilheis.
