abouterachess,
Okay, I've got 15 minutes you give you the answers. So read fast! lol
Where in the Bible Jesus says himself ?
1. "I am God" or anything similar
John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
"I AM is an attribute that God claimed for Himself in one other place in the Bible. Exodus 3:14. It means "from everlasting to everlasting." I put all that extra text there so you can see the reasoning of those who were there, and their reaction to His statement as being thought of as blasphemy, but actually true. It meant that Jesus was the same essence as God, and they couldn't hang with that!
2. "I came to be crossed " or anything similar
John 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
Amongst other verses, Jesus told them plainly, as with the woman that anoited him with expensive perfume, for His burial, He said.
3. "I came to die for your sins" or anything simialar
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Again, He calls it. God call it before Jesus was on Earth. That's in Isaiah 53 and the end of 52.
Jesus called it when He was on Earth, before He died on the cross. Jesus was the friend of sinners, and He was blamed for hanging out with them. As He said, " Mark 2:15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

Jesus never called himself God and very rarely uses the word I.. He always used the word God to refer to his Father. As for the rest here is the best i can do for you right now.
"Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem." Luke 24:46-47
"Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me; or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves." John 14:11
"Why do you call Me good ? No one is good but God alone." Luke 18:19
"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." John 10:11
"The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when He is killed, after three days He will rise." Mark 9:31

1. "I Am God" - John 8:58, John 10: 28-30,
2. "I came to be crossed" - John 16:16 - 17:5, John 14:1-4
3. "I came to die for your sins" - John 3:35-36, John 14:6,7
To get a good grasp of the answers to these questions, it would help to read the entire book of John!! Hope this helps!!

personally I like ESV, the essentially literal English Standard Version
one verse which addresses everything you said is in John 2
"tear down this temple and in three days I will raise it again, but he spoke of the temple of his body" Jesus was human enough to die on the cross. Jesus was God enough to raise himself from the dead. This answers all three points.
But in more detail:
your poiint 1. Jesus said I am god many ways, perhaps more indirectly than you would like
there are seven I AM statements about Jesus in the gospel of John and you can do a serch on them. I AM the resurection I AM the bread of life I AM the light of the world... etc etc
all I AM statements in John use a special greek construction eigo eimi I AM I AM construction reserved for the I AM of the burning bush... you can easily check this with searches... at the burning Bush, as you know, God told Moses His covenant name was I AM and he said ephasising it saying it three different ways so this is a big point to notice
The titles of God such as savior, creator, begining and end used in John and Revelation ...many many people have noted that Jesus and God share titles.
Isaiah says every knee shall both to God and his glory shall be given to no other... Phillipains applies to Jesus for example
there are many more
your point 2. Mark 10:45 The Son of man as come NOT to be served but to serve and give his life a ransom for many
Jesus clearly instructed his disciples he would die on the cross. see Matthew 15 for a few explamples
your point 3. Jesus applied Isaiah 53 to himself. and in that chapter the suffering servant is rejected, suffers for sin, dies and overcomes death. Each statement made at least 7 times
The gospel of John starts with a statement of Jesus creating all things or at least involved in the creation of all things, in the middle Jesus is the I AM before Abraham was and in the end of the book blesses Thomas for Saying MY Lord and The God (ho theos) strong statements at begining middle and end of the book unmistakably claiing divinity

John 10:30 (KJV) I and my Father are one.
John 14:11 (KJV) Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
John 16:28 (KJV) For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
John 17:2-3 (KJV) As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
When I find more I will add to this.

Instead of asking incongruent questions, you can click on Bibleontheweb.com and find what is or is not in the Bible. They quote from two main sources: KJV or NIV.
