Jesus spoke of His Deity 

John records Jesus "If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true”. Again He spoke of His deity, John_17:1 “Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, And now, Oh Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.” They had a right to expect that His statement, “He came from God”, would be confirmed by other evidence, and so it is.  

John spoke of His Deity  

John 5:32 Jesus refers to John the Baptist as a witness when He said “There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true.”  John_1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. V.3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. John_1:34 I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God." 

His Miracles Spoke of His Deity 

John_5:36 “ But I have a greater witness than John's; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish--the very works that I do--bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.” The miracles attest to My mission, and prove by themselves that nothing less than unlimited power and love could ever produce them. By my word, I have healed a man who was diseased thirty-eight years. You see the miracle - the man is before you. Why then do ye not believe and be saved?” 

Jehovah spoke of His Deity 

John_5:37 “And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.” Matthew_3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: and a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved  Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Again in Matthew_17: While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” 

Others spoke of His deity as well.  

Isaiah prophesied about His deity 2:3-4 Many people shall come and say, “ Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths. “For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.”  

Peter spoke concerning His deity. Matthew_16:16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 

Paul in Philippians_2:5-6 speaks  concerning the deity of Jesus, "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God." 

The record shows that the when centurion and the guards who were present saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, "Turly this was the Son of God." Matthew 27:54. It is my hope and prayer that we have come to know Jesus better through this study. Considering the overwhelming evidence presented, who can deny that He is who He said He is?
