Where did Jesus ever say: I am God, worship me?
He said more than that, in the language his hearers could not mistake: he took God's name, forgave sins against God, accepted worship and claimed God's throne.
Jesus said before Abraham was, I AM, using the divine name; his hearers took up stones. He forgave sins, which only God can do. He accepted Thomas calling him my Lord and my God. He told the high priest he would sit at the right hand of Power and come with the clouds of heaven, and was condemned for blasphemy.
58Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”

61But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” 62Jesus said, “I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.” 63The high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need have we of witnesses? 64You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” They all condemned him to be worthy of death.
