Biblical Evidence That Show Jesus is God
1. Worthy of Worship:
God alone is to be worshipped
Exodus 34:14 (NKJV) - (for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God),
John 9:38 (NKJV) - Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he worshiped Him.
Worshipped by angels
Hebrews 1:6 (NKJV) - But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all the angels of God worship Him.”
Worshipped by the wise men at birth
Matthew 2:11 (NKJV) - And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Matthew 14:33 (NKJV) - Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.”
Matthew 28:9 (NKJV) - And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him.
Jesus never rebuked someone who worshipped him. In contrast to other biblical figures who redirect worship away from themselves. When the apostles and angels were worshipped, this happened: Acts 10:25-26; Acts 14:12-15; Revelation 19:9-10; Revelation 22:8-9. The people worshipping them got rebuked.

Who has declared this from ancient time? Who has told it from that time? Have not I, the Lord? And there is no other God besides Me, A just God and a Savior; There is none besides Me. “Look to Me, and be saved, All you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.

John 10: 27-30 (NKJV) - My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.

And suddenly they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”
8. God is Eternal

Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
11. Only God can Raise the Dead and Judge
John 5:21-23 (NKJV) - For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
Since the Son is equal to God the Father in essence, so we honor him when we regard him as such. Therefore, to not honor one is to not honor the other. "As a matter of fact," it may be added that they who do not honor the Son do not worship God at all.
12. Jesus Forgives Sins
Mark 2:5-10 (NKJV) - When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, “Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, “Why do you reason about these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralytic

While John was born before Jesus (as described in the narratives of both being relatives, with John's birth preceding Jesus'), he acknowledges that Jesus existed before him, indicating Jesus' eternal nature. The Son of God existed from eternity past in fellowship with the Father.
