Here is but a small glimpse, which I believe answers this question.
Consider Isaiah 42:8, where GOD said...
I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols.
Consider John 14:1, where Jesus said...
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.
----------------
Now, either Jesus was being blasphemous or He is God. He was again claiming to be God, in the flesh... to those that would hear.
In case you were wondering... yes, "trust" in John 14:1 is the same word in the Greek, both times.
Jesus says that if you trust in God... you ought to put that exact same trust in Him (Jesus). I guess I'll let you "do the math".
... John 14:7-11
“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
