The only supporting words were put into Jesus' mouth in the Gospel of John. The problem is that this Gospel's historical authenticity is very shaky; you have to take my word for that or else read some scholarship.
If you look to the Synoptic Gospels, you find no such statements. It's pretty clear to me that Jesus didn't think he was God. At most, he thought he had a unique relationship with God as God's eschatological prophet.

There is not. He always denied being the "son" of God (which would have been a blasphemy), or the Moshiach. He was a great preacher and spiritual teacher, and never claimed to be more.
Concerninr the passage from Mark 14:61-62. That is highly dubious. A devout Jew would never have referred to Messiah and to the "son of god" in the same sentence (and would never have thought up the "son of god bit in the first place). If Jesus had really said such a thing in front of high ranking Sanhedrin members, he would have been stoned as a blasphemer with no more ado, rather than given over to the Romans to be crucified as an enemy of the state.

He never asked to be Worshiped. He did proclaim himself the Son of God.
Mark 14
61 But he held his peace, and aanswered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Still he did not ask to be Worshiped.

These are rather unambigious. Read much more beyond these and you will see Jesus was quite unambigious.
1. I am the bread of life (Jn.6:35)
2. I am the light of the world (Jn.8:12)
3. I am the gate (Jn.10:9)
4. I am the good shepherd (Jn.10:11.
5. I am the resurrection (Jn.11:25)
6. I am the way and the truth and the life (Jn.14:6)
7. I am the true vine (Jn.15:1)

don't quote the bible? how on earth does that make any sense. What else would you quote to find out Jesus' statements? maybe you should try reading the bible yourself and concentrate really hard on the parts that start off with Jesus said...
he who hears My word, and believes, has eternal life
Just because what Jesus says makes you think, doesn't mean those things are ambiguous, it means you're lazy.

John 8:58 “What I’m about to tell you is true,” Jesus answered. “Before Abraham was born, I am!” 59 When he said this, they picked up stones to kill him. But Jesus hid himself. He slipped away from the temple area.
…"I am" is related to the "covenant name" of God. [Exodus 3:14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. Here is what you must say to the Israelites. Tell them, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”]
Obviously the Jews that heard him considered the statement as a claim to divinity. They tried to kill him for what they considered blasphemy.

"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.
For God sent not His son into the World to condem the world, But that the world through Him shoul not perish."
(John 3:16-17)
That is The Context of the entire Bible

John 10:30 I and the Father are one.
This, to me, does not mean that Jesus is God. I am one with my father, too, just as every offspring is. I came from him, of course I am him.

No... because there isn't one... He never said to worship himself, but to know that we are loved by Mother and Father God.
