John 5:17

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 5:17. But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

The whole work of nature is continued on Sabbath-days as well as other days. Stars shine through the Sabbath-night, and the sun rises and sets on the Lord’s-day as on all the days of the week. God’s work continues. "My Father worketh," saith Christ, "and I work." "My work is my Father’s work, and that goes on whatever the day may be."
