John 5:16-24 "Like Father, Like Son"

After healing the man at the pool of Bethesda, Jesus Christ is persecuted by the Jewish leaders. They accuse Him of violating their sabbath laws. He does not debate with them.  Rather, He states that God is working on the Sabbath and as the Son of God, He's working too! This was an explicit claim to deity. This was not an attack on the Jewish view of monotheism (one God). It was an explanation of the Son and the Father's equality in the Godhead.  All judgment has been committed to the Son.  Anyone who does not honor the Son, does not honor the Father.
