You’re attempting to deflect from the simple historical issue of whether Jesus claimed to be equal with God, which even his enemies acknowledged at the time.
I know you have already posted you reject the historicity of the claim, but it is so outlandish, so irrational, and so ridiculous that one needs to ask again how you can hold such a position which throws all the rest of recorded history into the trash bin.
I asked what verses tell you that Jesus asserted that.
Specifically, what verses in the New Testament do that. My limited recollection is that Jesus tried to avoid that, and in the Gospels, someone else always ends up saying it.
So what is your verse in the NT where Jesus claims to be divine?
I thought he taught that ‘the son of man’ or other intermediary phrases were the subject of his teaching.
