I guess the title says it all - I'm re-reading the gospels and trying to find any place where Jesus flat out says he is:

1) God. Meaning creator of the universe, etc.

2) He and he alone can forgive sins on earth.

As a follow-up, are there any other mythical heroes that claim the same or similar qualities of godhood and forgiveness.

Thanks

Pat

Before Abraham was I am? You cannot reach the Father except through me? Krishna says he is Brahman, and to take refuge in him as well.

Isn’t the ambiguity part of the plot?

It keeps the reader guessing and sells more books that way.

The Prayer of Nabonidus from the Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q242) describes a Jewish exorcist who heals King Nabonidus by forgiving his sins.
