So because of this the Jewish leaders began to persecute Jesus because he used to do these things on Sabbath.
So he defended himself against them ‘My Father is working until now and I too am working.’
So because of this the Jewish leaders sought to kill him, because he not only used to break the Sabbath, but also said that God was his own father, making himself equal to God.
Grant, Lord,
that we may hold to you without parting,
worship you without wearying,
serve you without failing;
faithfully seek you,
happily find you,
and forever possess you,
the only God,blessed now and for ever.
Amen
St Anselm
