Nowhere in the bible is there such a claim.
On the other hand, we are ALL the children of God.

Only in the New Testament.
The idea that the Messiah was some Divine person was an unheard of idea to the Jews. Instead, the Messiah was meant to be a human being, lead by God, to fulfill the prophecies of the Messiah.
This was a new, foriegn idea first introduced by Paul in his letters. Which is why the Jews didn't accept Jesus. It meant splitting up God - three beings into one. And it went against the bibical prophecies contained in the Torah.

Matthew 26:62-64 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society
62Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, "Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?" 63But Jesus remained silent.
The high priest said to him, "I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ,[a] the Son of God."
64"Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied. "But I say to all of you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."

Matthew 26:63 Or Messiah; also in verse 68

Jesus said He was the Son of God about a hundred recorded times!
and as for saying he was God, it's more of a language barrier and an intellectual thing. In greek, he uses the word "parakletos" describe him, the Holy Spirit, and God the father: parakletos means "one in the same" or "same essense". He also made statements like "before Abraham was, I am!", he didn't deny it when Thomas called him God, and he called himself Truth, which God the father called Himself in the Old Testament many times.

There is nothing in the Torah about J*sus. In fact, in the Torah it says that the Messiah will NOT be a god, but rather an ordinary person.

in the new testament, King James Version, See John 1:1, 14.
If in the beginning was the Word and the Word was God and the Word was made flesh, then God took on flesh. The flesh (Jesus) was like a cup that held the spirit of God. "God was made flesh and dwelt among us." See John 10:30 and where Jesus is quoted as saying, "I and my Father are one."

I can show you in the Jewish scriptures =
Isaiah 9:6 "Unto us a child will be born, a son give, and he will be the wonderful counselor, the almighty God and the prince of peace."
Isaiah 52:13-53:12 "He will be exalted, and made very high. He will be marred more than any man, and lay down his life to make atonement for sins.

1) Torah was completed thousands of years before Jesus of Nazareth was born.
2) In the NT, how about John 8:58?

John 8:42 ; Jesus said to them:If God were your father, You would love me for from God I came forth and am here. Neither have I come of my own initiative at all but that one sent me forth.
John 12:49; because I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak.
John 20:17; Jesus said to her: Stop clinging to me. For I have not yet ascended to the Father. But be on your way to my brothers and say to them, 'I am ascending to MY Father and your Father and to MY God and Your God.
There are many more...
Have a good day hope this helped some.

Try John 3:16 for starters. I have read the Bible approx. three times and do not-by all means-have it memorized, but Jesus is referred to being the Son of Man in numerous locations. It really is as simple of a matter of faith---either you agree or disagree---your choice.

And then there's, "He who sees me see the Father for the Father and I are one."
That's about as flat-footed a declarative statement as you can find. It's the one that got Him crucified. The Jews called Him a blasphemer because He claimed equality with the Lord God Yahweh. Up to that point He was just another sideshow for the common folks, something to take their minds off what Rome and their own leaders were doing to them. But THAT statement made 'em sit up, take notice and start planning His demise at the earliest possible moment.
