In the Bible, Jesus does not directly say, "I am God" in those exact words, but He makes clear declarations of His divinity. Here are instances where Jesus affirms His divine nature:
1. **John 10:30 (NIV):**
"I and the Father are one."
- Jesus declares unity with the Father, indicating His divine nature.
2. **John 8:58 (NIV):**
"Very truly I tell you," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"
- By saying "I am," Jesus uses the divine name of God (Exodus 3:14), equating Himself with God.
3. **John 14:9 (NIV):**
"Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father."
- Jesus reveals that to see Him is to see God, affirming His divine identity.
4. **Mark 14:61-62 (NIV):**
"Again the high priest asked him, 'Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?' 'I am,' said Jesus."
- Jesus confirms His divine status when asked directly.
5. **Revelation 1:17-18 (NIV):**
"I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever!"
- Jesus uses titles exclusive to God, emphasizing His eternal existence and victory over death.
These verses highlight Jesus' clear claims to divinity in words and actions, consistent with His identity as God.
