12. “Who said such a thing as that?” they demanded.
13. The man didn’t know, for Jesus had disappeared into the crowd.
14. But afterward Jesus found him in the Temple and told him, “Now you are well; so stop sinning, or something even worse may happen to you.”
15. Then the man went and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had healed him.
16. So the Jewish leaders began harassing Jesus for breaking the Sabbath rules.
17. But Jesus replied, “My Father is always working, and so am I.”
18. So the Jewish leaders tried all the harder to find a way to kill him. For he not only broke the Sabbath, he called God his Father, thereby making himself equal with God.
19. So Jesus explained, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does.
