Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Darum trachteten ihm die Juden viel mehr nach, daß sie ihn töteten, daß er nicht allein den Sabbat brach, sondern sagte auch, Gott sei sein Vater, und machte sich selbst Gott gleich.
Entonces, por tanto, más procuraban los Judíos matarle, porque no sólo quebrantaba el sábado, sino que también a su Padre llamaba Dios, haciéndose igual a Dios.
Por esto los judíos buscaban aún más matarlo, porque no solo quebrantaba el sábado, sino que también llamaba a Dios su propio Padre, haciéndose igual a Dios.
A cause de cela, les Juifs cherchaient encore plus à le faire mourir, non seulement parce qu'il violait le sabbat, mais parce qu'il appelait Dieu son propre Père, se faisant lui-même égal à Dieu.
Perciò adunque i Giudei cercavano vie più d’ucciderlo, perciocchè non solo violava il sabato, ma ancora diceva Iddio esser suo Padre, facendosi uguale a Dio.
Por isso, pois, os judeus ainda mais procuravam matá-lo, porque não só quebrantava o sábado, mas também dizia que Deus era seu próprio Pai, fazendo-se igual a Deus.
為了這緣故, 猶太 人越發想要殺他,因為他不但犯了安息日,而且稱上帝為他的父,把自己和上帝看為同等。
