John 8:58 Jesus said tho them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."
From Old testament scripture, the words "I AM" refer to the name of God Himself.
Exodus 3:14 And God said untio Moses, I AM THAT I AM; and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
John 14:8,9...He who has seen Me has seen the Father...
John 10:30 I and my Father are one.
Also see John 5:23,24 8:19 14:1 1:1
Also, Jesus accepted worship and told people their sins were forgiven, only God can accept worship, and forgive sins. The disciples always told ppl NOT to worship them, but to worship God. Throughout the new testament he is called God;
Romans 9:5 ...Christ came, who is overall, the eternally blessed God, Amen.
Hebrew 1:8 But to the Son He says; 'Your throne, O God, is forever and ever...
Colossians 2:9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
There is so much more in the new testament that shows Jesus is God, this is just a tiny bit. One more verse, I quoted back a bit;
Mathew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a SON, and they shall call his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD with us.
