John 5:18
http://booksteps.com/2008/03/21/john5-18/
These verses seem to indicate that Jesus really was breaking the Sabbath and claiming equality with God. This conflict with religious leaders wasn’t some elaborate misunderstanding—there was no need for more clarity and no room for any compromise. Most of the time, I think of conflict as reducible to misunderstanding and miscommunication. These verses serve as a good reminder that sometimes lines are drawn up very clearly, and people choose sides with complete understanding of what they are choosing and why.
