JOHN—NOTE ON John 5:17 My Father suggests a closer relationship with God than other people had (see John 20:17). “My Father is working until now, and I am working” is clearly a claim to deity, as Jesus’ hearers understood (John 5:18). Genesis 2:2 teaches that God rested on the seventh day of creation. Jewish rabbis agreed that God continually upholds the universe, yet without breaking the Sabbath. (See also John 7:22.)
