Exodus 3:14 - God says "I AM who I AM" - John 8:58 - Jesus says "Before Abraham was, I AM" in reference to Himself.
Psalm 89:27 – I will make him the first-born, the highest (“elyon” which refers to God) of the kings of the earth - John 18:36-27 – Jesus is this first-born king.
Psalm 97:9 - the Lord God is above all - John 3:31 - Jesus is above all.
Psalms 110:1 - the Lord (Yahweh) said to my Lord - Jesus = Yhwh - Acts 2:34-36 - God has made Jesus both Lord and Christ.
Isaiah 7:14 - a virgin will bear a Son named Emmanuel which means "God is with us" - Matt. 1:23 - this Son is Jesus Christ, God in the flesh.
Isaiah 45:23 - to God, every knee shall bow and every tongue swear. Phil. 2:10-11 - at Jesus' name every knee should bow and tongue confess.
Dan. 2:47 - the Lord is the God of gods and the Lord of Lords - Rev. 17:14 - Jesus the Lamb is the Lord of Lords.
John 1:1 - John writes, "the Word was God." This is clear evidence of Jesus Christ's divinity. (Note: in the Jehovah's bible, the passage was changed to "Word was a god." This is not only an embarrassing attempt to deny the obvious divinity of Christ, but it also violates the first commandment and Isaiah 43:10 because it acknowledges that there is more than one God).
John 1:2-3 - He (the Word) was in the beginning with God and all things were made through Him (the Word who was God).
John 1:14 - the Word (who is God) became flesh (Jesus) and dwelled among us, full of grace and truth.
John 1:18 - the Greek word for "only-begotten" is "monogenes" which means unique, only member of a kind. It does not mean created.
Col. 1:15 - Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the "firstborn" of all creation. The Greek word for "first-born" is "prototokos" which means eternal preexistence (it never means created).
Matt. 4:7; Luke 4:12 - Jesus tells satan, "you shall not tempt the Lord your God" in reference to Himself.
Matt. 5:21-22; 27-28; 31-32; 33-34; 38-39; 43-44 - Jesus makes Himself equal to God when He declares, "You heard it said...but I say to you.."
Matt. 7:21-22; Luke 6:46 - not everyone who says to Jesus, "Lord, Lord." Jesus calls Himself Lord, which is God.
Matt. 9:2; Mark 2:5; Luke 5:20; 7:48 - Jesus forgives sins. Only God can forgive sins.
Matt. 12:8; Mark 2:28; Luke 6:5 - Jesus says that He is "Lord of the Sabbath." He is the Lord of God's law which means He is God.
Matt. 18:20 - Jesus says where two or three are gathered in His name, there He is in the midst of them.
Matt. 21:3; Luke 19:31,34 - Jesus calls himself "Lord." "The Lord has need of them."
Matt. 26:64; Mark 14:62; Luke 22:70 - Jesus acknowledges that He is the Son of God.
Matt. 28:20 - Jesus said He is with us always, even unto the end of the world. Only God is omnipresent.
John 8:58 - Jesus says, "Before Abraham was, I AM." Exodus 3:14 - "I AM" means "Yahweh," which means God.
John 10:30 - Jesus says, "I and the Father are one." They are equal. The Jews even claimed Jesus made Himself equal to God. Jesus' statement in John 14:28, "the Father is greater than I," cannot contradict John 10:30 (the Word of God is never in conflict). Jesus' statement in John 14:28 simply refers to His human messianic role as servant and slave, which He, and not the Father or the Holy Spirit, undertook in the flesh.
John 20:28 - Jesus accepts Thomas' statement "My Lord and my God!" Literally, "the Lord of me and the God of me!" (in Greek, "Ho Kurios mou kai ho Theos mou").
There are many more verses, but more verses will do nothing for a hardened heart.

Check into John gospel about Jesus' prayer in Gesethmene. The Revelation, the last book of the Bible. Anyway, the Bible claims Jesus reveals He is God and people didn't like it and killed him. But he arose and truely, he shows the world He is Almighty God incarnate in flesh to become Jesus, died for your sin and mine and risen from the dead and ascended into heaven now seated at the right side of God the Father. He is one of the triune God.

Luke 3:22b And a voice came from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased." <<< GOD
John 14:16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever -- <<
It was known through the prophesies that there would come a Messiah, an annointed one, that would be God's son....Jesus was the first one to be able to referr to God as "Father"...altho we do this today, this was one of the things that distinguished Jesus from anyone else...plus He was conceived by God (The Holy Spririt) so naturally Jesus was the son of God as well.

Perhaps the asker should back up first. The Lord (not lord) from Genesis-Malachi was the Lord Jesus, despite what is indicated by an addition to the word of God.

JESUS CHRIST DID NOT SAY, “I AM GOD.”
JESUS SAID, “I AM THE SON OF GOD.”
(John 10:36) (Matthew 27:43)
All true Christians must study the Word of God for themselves and should stop using trinitarian terminology and should go back to emphasis of the basic Bible message,
"I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me."
The Bible makes the direct claim that Jesus is the Son of God.
Keep in mind, The opinion of man means nothing. What matters is what the true Word of God has to say.

Read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in the Bible ,he says on several occasions that He is the son of God. Besides, we know He is.

We are all of us supposed to be Gods children, no?
So I too, am the Son of God.

He didn't say that but there were people at the past changed the bible and put that saying.
the truth is that He is a Messenger of God with miracles -God gave him- and this does make sense.

John 20:28-29:

Luke 22:67-71:
67Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
68And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
69Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
70Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
71And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
Mark 14:61-62:
61But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
62And 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.

Nowhere in the Bible (or anywhere) does Jesus refer to himself as anything more than a prophet and messenger.
