The Bible indicates Jesus is God through direct declarations by apostles, Jesus's own claims, and his acceptance of worship. Key verses include John 1:1 ("the Word was God"), John 20:28 ("My Lord and my God!"), Titus 2:13 ("our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ"), and Hebrews 1:8 ("Your throne, O God, is forever")    
  
Direct Apostolic Declarations

John 1:1, 14: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... And the Word became flesh".

Titus 2:13: "...waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ".

2 Peter 1:1: "...in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ".

Romans 9:5: "...of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God".

1 John 5:20: "...And we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life".  
  
Jesus's Claims and Actions

John 20:28-29: Thomas declares to Jesus, "My Lord and my God!", and Jesus accepts this confession.

John 10:30-33: Jesus states, "I and the Father are one," which his audience understood as a claim to be God.

John 8:58: Jesus claims eternal existence by stating, "...Before Abraham was, I am".

Hebrews 1:8: The Father calls the Son God: "But about the Son he says, 'Your throne, O God, is forever and ever'".

Revelation 1:17 &amp; 22:13: Jesus describes himself as the "Alpha and the Omega," the "first and the last".  
  
Contextual Evidence

Isaiah 9:6: Prophesies the Messiah as "Mighty God, Everlasting Father".

Colossians 2:9: "For in him \[Christ\] the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily".

Philippians 2:6: Jesus, "who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped"

Perhaps, we consider humility.  
  
Note that we can only see less than 0.1% of the light spectrum, hear only a limited range of sound, and learn via a limited amount of languages (which are limited by a number of words).  
  
#Bible  
Proverbs 15:32-33 Those who disregard discipline despise themselves, but the one who heeds correction gains understanding. Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord, and humility comes before honor.  
Luke 14:11 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”  
#Quran  
chp 17 ver 37-38 You shall not walk proudly on earth —you cannot bore through the earth, nor can you be as tall as the mountains. All bad behavior is condemned by your Lord.  
chp 42 ver 10 If you dispute any part of this message, the judgment for doing this rests with God. Such is God my Lord. In Him I trust, and to Him I submit.  
chp 59 ver 21 If we revealed this Quran to a mountain, you would see it trembling, crumbling, out of reverence for GOD. We cite these examples for the people, that they may reflect.

Examples of those chosen who corrected themselves (or chosen because they had it in their hearts to correct themselves):  
  
#Bible  
Exodus 2:14 The man said, “Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.”  
#Quran  
chp 28 ver 15-22 Once he entered the city unexpectedly, without being recognized by the people. He found two men fighting; one was (a Hebrew) from his people, and the other was (an Egyptian) from his enemies. The one from his people called on him for help against his enemy. Moses punched him, killing him. He said, "This is the work of the devil; he is a real enemy, and a profound misleader." He said, "My Lord, I have wronged my soul. Please forgive me," and He forgave him. He is the Forgiver, Most Merciful. He said, "My Lord, in return for Your blessings upon me, I will never be a supporter of the guilty ones." In the morning, he was in the city, afraid and watchful. The one who sought his help yesterday, asked for his help again. Moses said to him, "You are really a troublemaker." Before he attempted to strike their common enemy, he said, "O Moses, do you want to kill me, as you killed the other man yesterday? Obviously, you wish to be a tyrant on earth; you do not wish to be righteous." A man came running from the other side of the city, saying, "O Moses, the people are plotting to kill you. You better leave immediately. I am giving you good advice." He fled the city, afraid and watchful. He said, "My Lord, save me from the oppressive people." As he traveled towards Midyan, he said, "May my Lord guide me in the right path."

#Bible  
Job 42:1-6 Then Job replied to the Lord: “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted. You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know. “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.’ My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you. Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”  
#Quran  
chp 38 ver 41-44 Remember our servant Job: he called upon his Lord, "The devil has afflicted me with hardship and pain." "Strike the ground with your foot. A spring will give you healing and a drink." We restored his family for him; twice as many. Such is our mercy; a reminder for those who possess intelligence. "Now, you shall travel the land and preach the message, to fulfill your pledge." We found him steadfast. What a good servant! He was a submitter.  
chp 21 ver 83-84 And Job implored his Lord: "Adversity has befallen me, and, of all the merciful ones, You are the Most Merciful." We responded to him, relieved his adversity, and restored his family for him, even twice as much. That was a mercy from us, and a reminder for the worshipers.

#Bible  
Jonah 1:1-3 The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.” But Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord.  
#Quran  
chp 37 ver 139-147 Jonah was one of the messengers. He escaped to the loaded ship. He rebelled and thus, he joined the losers. Consequently, the fish swallowed him, and he was the one to blame. If it were not that he resorted to meditation (on God), he would have stayed in its belly until the Day of Resurrection. We had him thrown up into the desert, exhausted. We had a tree of edible fruit grown for him. Then we sent him to a hundred thousand, or more.  
chp 21 ver 87-88 And Zan-Noon (Jonah, "the one with an 'N' in his name"), abandoned his mission in protest, thinking that we could not control him. He ended up imploring from the darkness (of the big fish's belly): "There is no god other than You. Be You glorified. I have committed a gross sin." We responded to him, and saved him from the crisis; we thus save the believers.
