63 The Problem with Pharisees

John 5:16-47, TBC Book Two, Chapter 63
Jesus had caused quite a stir in Jerusalem. Just as more and more people began to put their faith in him, so also did his enemies grow more enraged. They continued to accuse him of breaking God’s Law by healing on the Sabbath. To this, Jesus replied, “My father is always at his work, and so am I.” But when he said that, they were absolutely furious.

“Did you hear that?” they said to one another. “Now he is making himself equal with God! He deserves to be killed!”

“I tell you the truth,” Jesus continued, “the Son does nothing on his own. He imitates what he has seen his Father doing. . . . 

“I am telling you the truth—anyone who accepts my words and chooses to believe him who sent me has eternal life. That person will not be condemned; he has passed from death to life. A time is coming, in fact, it is happening even now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God. And those who hear will live. . . .
