JOHN 14:9 Jesus answered, “Don’t you know me, Philip? I have been among you such a long time! Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. So how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
John's Gospel has over 40 references to the divinity of Jesus, however, most of them are indirect and not obvious to those unfamiliar with the original languages of scripture.
Paul DIRECTLY calls him "God" in Titus 2:13 "That’s how we should live as we wait for the blessed hope God has given us. We are waiting for Jesus Christ to appear in all his glory. He is our great God and Savior."
Matthew quotes Isaiah, BOTH calling him IMMANUEL, literally, "God with us." So it is not just a New Testament concept, but one found in the Hebrew scriptures as well.
Do not be deceived. The evidence is strong throughout scripture that the Messiah was indeed divine.

Part of the problem is the word of God is 'wrongly divided' (vs rightly divided 2 Tim.2:15). The Lord (not lord) from Genesis-Malachi was the Lord Jesus Christ. I thinking presently about Exodus 3 for one case regarding your question above.

If you study the prophesies and read the Bible it is obvious Jesus referred to himself as the son of God...The Son is a part of the whole of God. In Isaiah you will read the prophesies of the coming of the Christ and it says he will not say a word as a lamb lead to the shears and it tells how he will atone for sin and save his people with his death all things add up to who he is and those that know the Father know the Son which he also stated it all will come to you when you come to know God and it is all scriptural In parts of the Gospels Jesus says he and the
Father are one he also says before Abraham was I am...In Revelation he is the Alpha and the Omega in John chapter one the word was God and becmae flesh. Many places refer to the Father Son and Holy Spirit as one God.

well, you have to take into account that Jesus was intellectual, so He didn't do things very simply....
He fulfilled a lot of prophesies that God made hundreds to thousands of years in the B.C. era, as well as He calls Himself Lord (the same One God calls Himself). But if you want verses, so here are a few...

Ok first of all you need to know about the Trinity which is the father the son and the holy spirit. They are all one thus the name trinity. But in literal terms you can say that God is the father and Jesus is the son.

John 10:30, John 14:9.
He doesn't say it like this - "I am God" - because his physical body was not God; but God dwelled in him in a unique way - Colossians 2:9-10.
Notice when Jesus called Lazarus from the grave, he prayed first, but he did not ask the Father to raise Lazarus; he did it himself. Then when Thomas looked at him and said, "My Lord and my God," he did not correct Thomas.

The Pharisees asked him if he was and when he answered they accused him of blasphemy. He didn't use the phrase "I am God" as recorded in the Bible, but this exchange makes it obvious that is what the pharisees understood him to be saying. They would not have accused of blasphemy for claiming to be human.
Mat 26:63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. 64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

Jesus and the Holy Ghost are the only two entities to have achieved perfect oneness with God. Jesus is the Son of God, half God, half Man. Try reading the Bible.

John 10:30
"I and the Father are one."
Even the Jews who were questioning Him knew that He was saying that He was God, which is why they tried to stone and seize Him and to later kill Him.
John 10:22-33
"At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem;
it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon. The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, "How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly." Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father's name, these testify of Me. But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one." The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?" The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God."

all over. God is God....but to come to us, speak to us, in our form, He himself became Jesus. That is why we must go through Jesus to get to God, for its one in the same, but since we are human, we have been instructed to go through the human that was sent to us.
least this is how I have understood it so far in my studies. If I am wrong, did not mean to mislead any.
