Maneno haya yaliwaudhi sana viongozi wa Wayahudi. Wakajaribu kila njia wapate jinsi ya kumuua, kwani si kwamba alivunja Sabato tu, bali alikuwa akimwita Mungu Baba yake, hivyo kujifanya sawa na Mungu.

Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
Context
16Kwa hiyo Wayahudi wakaanza kumsumbua Yesu, kwa sababu alikuwa anafanya mambo kama hayo siku ya Sabato. 17Yesu akawajibu, “Baba yangu anafanya kazi yake daima hata siku hii ya leo, nami pia ninafanya kazi.” 18Maneno haya yaliwaudhi sana viongozi wa Wayahudi. Wakajaribu kila njia wapate jinsi ya kumuua, kwani si kwamba alivunja Sabato tu, bali alikuwa akimwita Mungu Baba yake, hivyo kujifanya sawa na Mungu. 19Yesu akawaambia, “Amin, amin nawaambia, Mwana hawezi kufanya jambo lolote peke yake, yeye aweza tu kufanya lile analomwona Baba yake akifanya, kwa maana lolote afanyalo Baba, Mwana pia hufanya vivyo hivyo. 20Baba ampenda Mwana na kumwonyesha yale ambayo yeye Baba mwenyewe anayafanya, naye atamwonyesha kazi kuu kuliko hizi ili mpate kushangaa.
