Make no mistake, Jesus of Nazareth said He is God in the Scriptures. Not only did He say it, but The Father said it also.
Isa 7:14
14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
KJV
Matt 1:22-23
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
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.
KJV
Jesus as The Christ was prophesied to come, Immanuel being one of His titles. We are told by Apostle Matthew what His title of Immanuel means, "God with us". That means God come in the flesh through woman's womb. Jesus is God, come in the flesh.
In John 8, our Lord Jesus is conversing with the unbelieving scribes and Pharisees who tried to trap His words.
John 8:56-59
56 "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day: and he saw it, and was glad."
57 Then said the Jews unto Him, "Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast Thou seen Abraham?"
58 Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am."
59 Then took they up stones to cast at Him: but Jesus hid Himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
KJV
The 'I AM THAT I AM' is the sacred name GOD gave to Moses upon Mt. Sinai (Exodus 3:14-15). Our Lord Jesus just said to those blind scribes and Pharisees directly that He is God. And to show that they understood that, they took up stones to stone Jesus for blasphemy.
In the following, Apostle Paul (writer of Hebrews I believe) quoted from Psalms 45 where The Father is calling The Son, "O God":
Heb 1:8-9
8 But unto the Son He saith, "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of Thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows."
KJV
That is unmistakable that The Father is calling Jesus as God.
When Jesus appeared to His disciples after His resurrection, He answered Philip who want to know who The Father is...
John 14:8-9
8 Philip saith unto him, "Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us."
9 Jesus saith unto him, "Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, 'Shew us the Father?'
KJV
By that, "he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father", Jesus just said that He is God.
Here's an example that every Jew should be well familiar with, and have NO EXCUSE to deny that Jesus of Nazareth is God The Savior come in the flesh...
Isa 9:6-7
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
KJV
And just to make sure we know that is talking about The Son, the Isaiah 9:7 verse shows it's the One Who is given to reign upon the throne of David, which of course per the prophets is only for The Son.
Make no mistake. Jesus The Christ is God.
