Exegesis
The main clause centers on the imperfect verb ezetoun {ἐζήτουν | ezḗtoun} ‘they were seeking’, with the comparative adverb mallon {μᾶλλον | mâllon} ‘more’ intensifying the ongoing resolve of hoi Ioudaioi {οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι | hoi Ioudaîoi} ‘the Jews’.

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.
