All four Gospels point to His divinity, though sometimes in ways that are more subtle. Matthew opens by quoting Isaiah: “They shall call His name Immanuel, which means God with us” (Matthew 1:23). Jesus forgives sins in Matthew 9, something only God can do, and He’s worshipped repeatedly without rejecting it, even though worship is reserved for God alone (Deuteronomy 6:13). In Mark, Jesus calms a storm and the disciples ask, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” (Mark 4:41), which echoes Psalm 107:29 where it’s the LORD who calms the sea.
Luke shows Jesus forgiving sins (Luke 5:20-21) and accepting worship (Luke 24:52). John’s Gospel is more direct: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God", "and the Word became flesh” (John 1:1,14). Jesus says, “Before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58), clearly referencing God’s name in Exodus 3:14. That’s why the Jews picked up stones to kill Him. Thomas calls Him, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28), and Jesus doesn’t correct him.
The claim that Jesus being God was invented later in Rome doesn't hold up historically. Early Christians were proclaiming His divinity from the start, that’s why they were persecuted. This wasn’t a Roman fabrication, it was the core of the Gospel from day one. Jesus wasn’t just a teacher, He claimed divine authority, fulfilled prophecy, and rose from the dead.
In John 14:6-9, Jesus says: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” He doesn’t say He shows the way, He is the way. When Philip asked him to show them the Father, Jesus says, “he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?” He is saying to Him is to see God. This is a claim of divine identity, Jesus doesn’t merely represent God, He is God. No prophet or angel ever spoke this way. Only God in the flesh can truthfully say such things.
