Exegesis
The verse begins with the causal-inferential phrase dia touto oun {διὰ τοῦτο οὖν | diá toûto oun} ‘because of this, therefore’, which tightly links the hostile response to what precedes in the narrative.
In context — John 5:18
Therefore, because of this, the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He was not only breaking the Sabbath , but He was also calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
