Jesus was not accepted as divine until the Council of Nicea, 325 CE, but everyone, except Jews, agree he was a prophet of God, as indicated by the Bible:
Matthew 21:11 “...This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.”
Luke 24:19 “...Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people.”

Jesus was/is God, he said it out of his own mouth that he and the father are one. You only typed in scriptures that say he was a prophet. Why did you leave out the ones where he said he was God? And just because other people didn't accept him as divine doesn't automatically mean he isn't. A whole lot of people do not except him as divine but opinions don't change facts.

Very, amazing reasons: a million) Islam contradicts many of the completed Bible. 2) Jesus is Lord, he's the Messiah --- Islam denies that. 3) Israel's forefather is Abraham, and the land of Israel belongs to Israel, not Muslims. 4) The 'prophet' of Islam became into deceived by ability of Heylel (devil) and he became right into a faux prophet. 5) The Koran is like including to the Bible... that's condemned by ability of God in the recent testomony. 6) Galatians a million:8-9 says, yet regardless of if we or an angel from heaven could pontificate a gospel different than the only we preached to you, enable him be endlessly condemned! As we've already pronounced, so now I say returned: If each and every physique is preaching to you a gospel different than what you conventional, enable him be endlessly condemned! The Gospel became into to not be extra too. all people who does is endlessly condemned. 7) God’s call is YHWH, not allah. Allah or its different sort, allat, is a demon’s call too. Islam is unlawful to prepare --- that's not from God --- that's Heylelism.

The Council of Nicea did not begin the belief that Jesus was God...it just reinstated the historical belief of Jesus.
Many also believe the word and belief of the "Trinity" was also introduced at this council.
The trinitarian belief is found in the bible and was believed by Christians prior to this council but it was reinforced at at this meeting.

In Matthew 21:11, this is a crowd of people who are shouting this. The same crowd that was incited to call for His crucifixion. Hardly a reliable source.
Luke 21:19 is the response of a man who had no idea as to who Jesus really was and is. Like most, he was looking for an earthly king. It speaks of his own preconceptions of the purpose of the Messiah. It even took the apostles seeing Him to really believe.
You say that Jesus wasn't accepted as divine until 325. I'm afraid you're mistaken.
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.
5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.
8 He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
9 There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
11 He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,
13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 John testified about Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.'"
16 For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace.
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.
"The Word" here refers to Jesus, the only begotten.
There may have been some who voted on His divinity, but that was settled long before men started creating God in their image.

As LazyTime pointed out in her answer, Jesus did at times say He was God, quite often He was more subtle about it, but the people understood what He meant, that is often the reason they threatened to stone Him.
Thomas admitted that Jesus was God, he said after Jesus was resurrected "My Lord, and my God!".

It makes a lot more sense to me that he was a prophet. I don't think he ever explicitly said "I am the Son of God, like actually his Son, which makes me exceedingly special". He talked about "His father in heaven" but then the Lords prayer opens with "Our father who art in heaven"; so I assumed it was just a metaphor about how God loves us like a father.
Also the fact that he prayed to God [which doesn't make sense if he is God] and said "Father into your hands I commend my spirit" certainly implies that there is a distinct different between Jesus and God.
The fact that I could never wrap my head around the trinity is another reason I am agnostic.

You know what, leave the Bible to the Christians and stop trying to make it mean something that supports your delusional belief. How about Jesus' assertion that He is "...the way, the truth, and the light". How about John 3:16 "God love the world so much, He gave his only son that whoever believes in him will not perish..." Don't quote the Bible, you will lose.

An earlier verse says this:
Matthew
9And the crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed Him kept shouting, Hosanna ([a]O be propitious, graciously inclined) to the Son of David, [[b]the Messiah]! Blessed (praised, glorified) is He Who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna (O be favorably disposed) in the highest [heaven]!
This was Palm Sunday, less than a week before the Crucifixion.
