15 Then the man left and told the Jewish authorities that it was Jesus who had healed him.
16 So they began to persecute Jesus, because he had done this healing on a Sabbath.
17 Jesus answered them, “My Father is always working, and I too must work.”
18 This saying made the Jewish authorities all the more determined to kill him; not only had he broken the Sabbath law, but he had said that God was his own Father and in this way had made himself equal with God.
19 So Jesus answered them, “I tell you the truth: the Son can do nothing on his own; he does only what he sees his Father doing. What the Father does, the Son also does.
20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. He will show him even greater things to do than this, and you will all be amazed.
21 Just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, in the same way the Son gives life to those he wants to.
