Juan 5:16

16 Jesús afirma ser el Hijo de Dios
Entonces los líderes judíos comenzaron a acosar
a Jesús por haber violado las reglas del día de descanso.

Juan 5:16 Meaning and Commentary

John 5:16

And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus
With their tongues, reproaching and reviling him, as a sabbath breaker, a destroyer of the law, and a sinful wicked man:

and sought to slay him;
either in a violent way, by setting the zealots, a sort of ruffians under the pretence of religion, upon him; or rather in a judicial way, summoning him before the sanhedrim, in order to condemn him to death for the breach of the sabbath, which by the law of Moses was punishable with death:

because he had done these things on the sabbath day;
because he had cured the man of his disease, under which he had laboured eight and thirty years, and had ordered him to take up his bed, and walk home with it on his back on the sabbath day. This drew upon him their resentment to such a degree, that they not only persecuted him with their tongues, but sought to take away his life. Nothing would satisfy them but his blood.

Juan 5:16 In-Context

14 pero después, Jesús lo encontró en el templo y le dijo:

15 Entonces el hombre fue a ver a los líderes judíos y les dijo que era Jesús quien lo había sanado.

16 Jesús afirma ser el Hijo de Dios
Entonces los líderes judíos comenzaron a acosar
a Jesús por haber violado las reglas del día de descanso.

17 Pero Jesús respondió:

18 Entonces los líderes judíos se esforzaron aún más por encontrar una forma de matarlo. Pues no solo violaba el día de descanso sino que, además, decía que Dios era su Padre, con lo cual se hacía igual a Dios.
