Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

After healing the man at the Pool of Bethzatha (Bethesda) on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders were angry because Jesus had broken their Sabbath laws. However, what angered them even more was His claim that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.

John 5:17-18 (RSV) states:
"But Jesus answered them, ‘My Father is working still, and I am working.’ This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God."
