My Father Is Working, So I Am Working

[John 5:17-18]

v.17, 18
Some time later there was a festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Now in Jerusalem, by the Sheep Gate, there is a pool called in Hebrew Bethesda, with five covered colonnades.
In these lay a great number of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed—waiting for the water to be stirred.[^1] [^1]: The words "waiting for the water to be stirred" together with verse 4 are not found in the earliest manuscripts.
For at certain times an angel would come down into the pool and stir up the water; and the first to step in after the water was stirred was healed of whatever illness had held him.
One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been like this for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to be made well?"
The sick man answered, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am on my way, someone else goes down ahead of me."
Jesus said to him, "Get up, pick up your mat and walk."
At once the man was made well; he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now that day was a Sabbath.
So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath; you are not permitted to carry your mat."
But he answered them, "The man who made me well told me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.'"
They asked him, "Who is the man who told you to pick it up and walk?"
But the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away, since there was a crowd in that place.
Later Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "See, you have been made well. Sin no more, or something worse may happen to you."
The man went off and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
For this reason the Jews began to persecute Jesus, because he was doing such things on the Sabbath.
But Jesus answered them, "My Father is working still, and I am working too."
For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him: not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
So Jesus answered them: "Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing on his own; he does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise.
For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he does; and he will show him works greater than these, so that you will be amazed.
For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.
The Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,
so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
"Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come under judgment but has crossed over from death into life.
Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming—and is here now—when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself;
and he has given him authority to pass judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
Do not be astonished at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice
and will come out—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
"I can do nothing on my own. I judge as I hear, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of him who sent me.
If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid.
There is another who testifies about me, and I know that his testimony about me is true.
You sent messengers to John, and he testified to the truth.
Not that I need human testimony; I say this so that you may be saved.
He was a lamp, burning and shining, and for a while you were willing to rejoice in his light.
But I have testimony greater than John's: the works the Father has given me to complete—these very works that I am doing testify about me, that the Father has sent me.
And the Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You have never heard his voice or seen his form,
and his word does not remain in you, because you do not believe the one he sent.
You search the Scriptures, thinking that in them you have eternal life; yet it is they that testify about me,
and you refuse to come to me to have life.
I do not accept glory from human beings.
But I know you: you do not have the love of God within you.
I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if someone else comes in his own name, you will receive him.
How can you believe, when you accept glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have set your hope.
If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.
But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
