It is a kind of hypocritical query for people to ask whether Jesus directly claimed to be God in the Bible. The point is that people who ask that question do not believe that the Bible is God's word from heaven. If it was mentioned there, their next claim would be that the Bible was corrupted. The fact is that the disciples called Him Lord and God after His resurrection and He did not refute it. All the letters of Paul and Peter are full of the deity of Jesus. I find it amusing that the apologetical wing of Christianity are trying hard to prove that He, at least indirectly, claimed to be divine through the gospels. Either the Bible is believed completely or not at all. People are believing in Jesus, not because He is a great moral teacher, but because they have come to believe that He is who the Bible claims Him to be. The largest religion in the world has adherents, not because they admire Jesus, but because they believe that He is indeed the way, the truth and the life. The Bible has became famous, not because people believe it is good though corrupted, but because it has truth that has captured the hearts of people. Either men are drawn to the light or they reject the light. There is no middle road.
