Exegesis
The second ground is a clausal complement to elegen {ἔλεγεν | élegen} ‘He was saying’, in which Jesus is described as calling patera idion {πατέρα ἴδιον | patéra ídion} ‘His own Father’ ton theon {τὸν θεόν | tón theón} ‘God’, an emphatic filial claim.
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.
