John 5
Healing on Sabbath day
#God is working
#It is good to God's work on any day in particular on the day we have for rest from other labours.
#This healing provokes first open hostility against Jesus.
#Jesus responding to their question ... He equates HIMSELF with God.

E - EQUAL IN ESSENCE
N - EQUAL IN NATURE
P - EQUAL IN POWER
A - EQUAL IN AUTHORITY
T - EQUAL IN TRUTH
Then Jesus calls on witness to affirm that He is equal with God:
#John the Baptist testimony (the forerunner - who announced He who comes after me is greater)- people believed the message and in preparation to welcome the Messiah repented of their sin & got baptised.
#The works/signs Jesus did TESTIFY. (Nicodemus believes that Jesus is able to do these works because He comes from God)
#The Scripture TESTIFY of Jesus (you search the scriptures which testifies of Me)
