The clearest evidence that Jesus claimed to be God, other than His direct statements, was His repeated statement of "your sins are forgiven". He believed He had the power to forgive sins! Because He did.
This was hard to believe. Even John the Baptist struggled with doubt at times. In this chapter he sent his disciples to question Jesus, "Are you the ONE or are we to look for someone else?" Jesus' response was not a rebuke to John or his disciples, but rather, a bold declaration through clear evidence of fulfilled prophecy that He was THE ONE.
Jesus is God. He forgives sins. And so much more! We all should worship Him today.
