| 1a - 9c | 10a 10b | 11a 11b | 12a | 13a 13b | 14a 14b | 15 | 16a 16b | 17 | 18a 18b 18c | Jn 5:17 ... The Jesus yet answered them, "The Father of-me until now is-working, and-I am-working" ... (on a Sabbath).
Verse 17 has 3 phrases containing 5 narrator and 8 dialog words, ... Ho de Iēsous apekrinato autois, Ho Patēr mou eōs arti ergazetai, kagō ergazomai (The yet Jesus answered them, ... "The Father of-me until now is-working, and-I am-working"). The 1st phrase of 5 narrator words (The yet Jesus answered them) are top down tangent to Jesus. The 2nd phrase of 6 dialog words (The Father of-me until now is-working) are bottom up tangent to God the Father. The 3rd phrase of 2 dialog words (and-I am-working) is tangent to Jesus. This statement was composed to infuriate the Jews even more. Verse 18 contains three diagrams that show how this statement was so offensive to them. John 5:16b < Verses > John 5:18a |
