Did Jesus actually say he was the son of God?

Question

He calls God 'father' but couldnt that be just a word he uses because he didnt have a father and he felt God was so close to him and so forth?

Also, he never says he is the son of God. John the Baptist does. Why is that?

Thank you

Answer 1

He agreed with Peter when Peter said He was ..

Answer 2

Even the demons knew who He was; satan in particular HAD to tempt Him to sin or defeat him/satan by being the son of God rather than by being a "man of earth filled with the Holy Spirit"; then He couldn't have been our advocate or substitute! Matt.3: 17 is where His Heavenly Father acknowledged Him as His son.
Matt. 4:3-11; Matt.8:29-32; Matt.26:63- 65.
It was testified by His enemies that He SAID He was the "son of God" in Matt.27: 43.
In the gospel of Mark 1:1 in every version I have investigated, it is said that He is the Son of God; likewise in Luke 1:35 is said the same thing.
Now, HERE IS YOUR ANSWER to what you are asking in HIS OWN WORDS...,(testifying that He HAD) called Himself the "Son of God": John 10: 27- 39. There it is! And they were so furious with Him for it they were going to stone Him. Also read John 11: 4 and I say how can anyone refute the reference is to Himself if you read the rest of the story!
He WAS, IS and ALWAYS WILL BE... and He KNEW IT and SAID SO!
I am sure Jesus called God Father when He prayed is because it is true and He referred to God also as "Our Father" meaning yours and His, Mine and His and this was to give us truth about our SPIRITUAL IDENTITY.

Answer 3

No he didn't. Christians are really bad with language. Jesus always referred to god as "OUR FATHER" not "MY Father". Also who is this Jesus? I have read the entire bible a lot of time but I never found the guy "JESUS" in there. Also... Isa [the guy who is called JESUS for some odd reason] always said don't call me GOOD. He always referred to GOD as being good. Also Christian these days tend to believe in 3 gods though many don't even realize it. 1. God [father of the Jesus guy] 2. The Jesus guy 3. The Holy Spirit

Common CHRISTIANS make up your mind....

Answer 4

That is a Truth that is only given to those who come to God in The Way He prescribes... if you are not of The Church you need not be concerned about it... You are not bound, while on this mortal world, by The Word of God.

You may "read" The Bible of The True Christian Faith all you like... but you will never find what God has for you there unless you come to Him as He prescribes.

I can state with certainty the Jesus The Christ, when He walked this Earth two thousand years ago, was both Fully God and fully man... but I can not prove it to you and no one of The Faith can... It is a Truth that is only for those who willingly submit to Him.

Answer 5

John 5:19-26 Jesus talking about his divinity.

Matt. 3:17- Christs baptism. God calls Him His son.

There are lots of others, but those are just a few for you to start on.

Answer 6

Just as He taught in parables, He also communicated that He was the Son of God indirectly, or at least indirectly to us in this age. His aim was to convince His fellow Jews of His Sonship, so he referenced the words of the prophet Isaiah. He showed how His life and actions were predicted by the prophet many years before.

This served to allow the people who heard Him to come to that understanding themselves, which is much more convincing than Jesus coming out with a simple declarative sentence. If someone fulfills all of the prophecies, than He must be the One who was sent.

John the Baptist's mission was to make way for the Son of God.

I have read a passage of when Mary went to Elizabeth that was described as when the Word met the Voice.

Answer 7

in quran Jesus is a prophet that is what is written there
god says to those who found his birth is miraculous so Adam has got no father and no mother
god asks Jesus did you say that" son ....."
Jesus answers "if i say it you would have known it"
it is unknown to us at all that any one of the prophets god sent to us has made any revolution against god and start to advertise himself
so make up your mind do you think Jesus with all suffers around him would say that he is son of god.and if he said that would you think Jews will "kill ????"(not in quran) him or they would give him a medal for that

Answer 8

Yes, Jesus says that.

One example below:
But Jesus is referred to as the "Son of God" many times in the New Testament.
Understand that the Bible is considered "The Word Of God" and that Jesus is identified in John 1 as the Word.


Therefore, He speaks that phrase often in reference to Himself.

Answer 9

John 1:1 says that “the Word was God.” John 1:14 says that “the Word became flesh.” This clearly indicates that Jesus is God in the flesh. Acts 20:28 tells us, "...Be shepherds of the church of God, which He bought with His own blood." Who bought the church with His own blood? Jesus Christ. Acts 20:28 declares that God purchased the church with His own blood. Therefore, Jesus is God!

Answer 10

We have no quote of Jesus saying this.

But we do have the God of the universe saying it.

Matt 3:17
17 And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."
(from New International Version)


Matt 17:5

5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!"
(from New International Version)


2 Peter 1:16-18

16 We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." 18 We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.
(from New International Version)

Answer 11

I believe He called God His Father because He was the Son of God.I'm not really sure how you can think He never called Himself the Son of God?
