Just a couple verses that I found.

Matthew 1:23.

 

[Greg Merrill]

One doesn't have to read much, the first verse of Matthew, to see something related to the deity of Christ in the Synoptic gospels (Mt, MK, and Lk). A good understanding of who the Christ is will show You that He is God in the flesh. Micah 5:2 is speaking of the Christ and shows His eternality.

Philippians 2.5: "Christ Jesus, Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God..."

John was specially appointed to speak intimately about Jesus in his book.

Son of God/God

It helps to know the context of scripture.

Messiah means literally "anointed one" and was the common way in which the Jews referred to kings of the dynasty of David. "Anointed" refers of course to the method of investiture of the Jewish kings. It translated into the Greek as "Christos". The Jews regarded themselves as a "theocracy"... a kingdom ruled by God. The Jews also envisaged a (metaphorical) throne room in which there were three thrones. God occupied the central throne. At "the right hand of God" was the throne of the "king messiah" who was the reigning king of the house and family of David. At "the left hand of God" was the throne of the "priest messiah" who was the high priest of the house and family of Zadok. Ideally there were always two messiahs who were known collectively as the "sons of God". All these terms, "messiah", "kingdom of God", "at the right hand of God" and "son of God" were political rather than religious statements. It was a later generation of gentile Christians who re-interpreted these phrases in a very different religious sense. Both before and after the death of Jesus the early Christians, who were, after all, practicing Jews, understood these terms in their traditional sense. Jesus in claiming to be the messiah had not committed any blasphemy... there was no religious crime that the high priest could legitimately charge him with. That is why he went to the Romans to do the job.

Think about what you're reading. They all say something about the divinity of Jesus. In Matthew for example you have the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus says that he is the Lord who will judge men after death.

John is the most explicit, but the Synoptics do point to the same reality in their own way. All affirm various points that should be carefully considered, here are several:

1. Jesus is the Son of God.
2. Jesus bears the unique authority to forgive sin.
3. Jesus is the Judge of all men.
4. Jesus is the King
5. The Transfiguration.

One day He was teaching; and there were some Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present for Him to perform healing. And some men were carrying on a bed a man who was paralyzed; and they were trying to bring him in and to set him down in front of Him. But not finding any way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiles with his stretcher, into the middle of the crowd, in front of Jesus. Seeing their faith, He said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven you." The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?" But Jesus, aware of their reasonings, answered and said to them, "Why are you reasoning in your hearts? "Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins have been forgiven you,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'? "But, so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,"—He said to the paralytic—"I say to you, get up, and pick up your stretcher and go home." Immediately he got up before them, and picked up what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God. They were all struck with astonishment and began glorifying God; and they were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen remarkable things today."
(Luke 5:17-26 NASB)

John is the latest of the Gospels and reflects a developing Christology not found in the other gospels.

 

[food4thought]

The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. "And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. "He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end." Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am a virgin?" The angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God."
(Luke 1:30-35 NASB)

John is the latest of the Gospels and reflects a developing Christology not found in the other gospels.

The gospels are interpretive narratives written well after the fact. John was about 60 years after the crucifixion and Mark was the earliest at about 40 years.

 

[Tayla]

Why don't Matthew, Mark & Luke say something about divinity of Jesus?

Each writer had their own perspective. God ensured that the entire gospel message was communicated by the Holy Spirit directing them what to write. We should read the whole Bible to get the whole word of God.

 

[Godistruth1]

and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God."
(Luke 1:30-35 NASB)

This is not specific as holy men in Bible are called sons of God!

 

[Godistruth1]

One day He was teaching; and there were some Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present for Him to perform healing. And some men were carrying on a bed a man who was paralyzed; and they were trying to bring him in and to set him down in front of Him. But not finding any way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiles with his stretcher, into the middle of the crowd, in front of Jesus. Seeing their faith, He said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven you." The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?" But Jesus, aware of their reasonings, answered and said to them, "Why are you reasoning in your hearts? "Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins have been forgiven you,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'? "But, so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,"—He said to the paralytic—"I say to you, get up, and pick up your stretcher and go home."

They were all struck with astonishment and began glorifying God; and they were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen remarkable things today."
(Luke 5:17-26 NASB)

There is nothing specific here to show Jesus's divinity here.

Can you tell me the reference
