They also cite Christ's words in John 5:17: 'My Father is working until now, and I am working.'
The unceasing work ascribed to God there, they argue, is best explained as the continual influence by which God concurs in every action of created things and produces those actions together with them. This is all the more so because Christ clearly has in mind a work like the one he had just done in healing the lame man.

VI. Huc etiam referunt quod dicit Christus Joan. 5. 17. Pater meus usque modo operatur & ego operor. Etenim jugis illa operatio quae ibi Deo tribuitur, commodius exponi non potest quam de influxu continuo quo Deus ad omnes rerum creatarum actiones concurrit easque cum illis producit: praesertim cum manifestum sit Christum illic intelligere operationem similem ejus quam modo in sanatione claudi exercuerat.
