ગુજરાતીયોહાન ૫:૧૮
તે માટે ઈસુને મારી નાખવા યહૂદીઓએ વિશેષ પ્રયત્ન કર્યો; કેમ કે ઈસુએ વિશ્રામવારનો ભંગ કર્યો એટલું જ નહિ, પણ ઈશ્વરને પોતાના પિતા કહીને પોતાને ઈશ્વર સમાન કર્યા.
हिन्दीयूहन्ना ५:१८
इस कारण यहूदी और भी अधिक उसके मार डालने का प्रयत्न करने लगे, कि वह न केवल सब्त के दिन की विधि को तोड़ता, परन्तु परमेश्वर को अपना पिता कहकर, अपने आपको परमेश्वर के तुल्य ठहराता था।

In context

16For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.

17But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”

18For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

19Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.

20For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
