Jesus equality with God in John 5:18 / Η ισότητα του Ιησού με τον Θεό στο Ιωάννης 5:18

John 5:18 / Ιωάννης 5:18:

διὰ τοῦτο οὖν μᾶλλον ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἀποκτεῖναι,
ὅτι οὐ μόνον ἔλυεν τὸ σάββατον,
ἀλλὰ καὶ πατέρα ἴδιον ἔλεγεν τὸν θεὸν
ἴσον ἑαυτὸν ποιῶν τῷ θεῷ. (²⁸NA)

For this reason the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him,
because he was not only breaking the sabbath,
but was also calling God his own Father,
thereby making himself equal to God. (NRSV)

This is why the Jews began seeking all the more to kill him,
because not only was he breaking the Sabbath
but he was also calling God his own Father,
making himself equal to God. (NWT)
