John 5:18

---

← John 5:17 [words of Jesus]	John 5:18 (KJV)	John 5:19 [words of Jesus] →
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.	Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.	Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
