People's Commentary (NT)
John 5:17
My Father worketh hitheto, and I work. The answer of Jesus to his
accusers goes to the very root of the matter. The basis on which the
Sabbath rested was that God had ceased his creative labors on the
seventh day. Jesus shows that God's rest was not idleness. The Father
had continued his works of love and mercy. He worked in these works
right on till Jesus came; "now", says the Son, "I work as my Father
works. There is no suspension on the Sabbath of works of benevolence
and mercy". The Father's example is the pattern given to direct man.
