In His Own Words - Who Jesus Is

Jesus said He came from above.
He said to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. (John 8:23 ESV)
No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. (John 3:13 ESV)

Jesus said He existed before Abraham.
Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am." (John 8:58 ESV)

Jesus said that He is the Messiah.
The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things." Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am he." (John 4:25-26 ESV)

Jesus said that He is the King of Israel.
Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said, "You have said so." (Matthew 27:11 ESV)
And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have said so." (Mark 15:2 ESV)
And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have said so." (Luke 23:3 ESV)

Jesus said that He is the Son of God.
And they all said, "Are You the Son of God, then?" And He said to them, "Yes, I am." (Luke 22:70 NASB)

Jesus said that He is the Son of Man.
For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done. (Matthew 16:27 ESV)
When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. (Matthew 25:31 ESV)

Jesus said that He is the Messiah, the Son of God and Son of Man.
But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest said to him, "I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God." Jesus said to him, "You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven." (Matthew 26:63-64 ESV)
But he remained silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?" And Jesus said, "I am, and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven." (Mark 14:61-62 ESV)
