I've heard many people say that Jesus never claimed to be the son of God and that he was given his diety until dictated during the Nicean creed or some hokey pokey, but I tell you that Jesus was not only the Son of God, but that he made those claims as well.
The first scripture that I found was John 19:7. This isn't directly from Jesus' mouth, but it shows that Jesus not only claimed to be the Son of God, but it was known that it was his claim. Then I found Mark 14:60-62 and Luke 22:70, where Jesus answers in to the Sanhedrin that he is in fact the Son of God. Many times Jesus used the reference of the Son of Man when talking about himself during his lifetime, and his answer in Luke above pointed out the prophecy of the second coming of the Son of Man on a cloud (Daniel 7:13). Jesus also revealed to his disciples during his lifetime that he was in fact the Christ (Mathew 16:13-20).
Tell me now that Jesus was only given his Diety later on after his life. Jesus was the Son of God, and He also made those claims. He was not just a great prophet as many claim... read the bible (at least the linked scriptures) and you will not be able to say that Jesus never claimed to be the Son of God, nor that he didn't claim to fulfill scriptures.
