Jesus claims to be the messiah

Mark 8

Peter’s Declaration about Jesus

27 And Jesus went on with his disciples, to the villages of Caesare′a Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?” 28 And they told him, “John the Baptist; and others say, Eli′jah; and others one of the prophets.” 29 And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Christ.” 30 And he charged them to tell no one about him.

Matthew 26:63-65: During Jesus' trial before the Sanhedrin, the high priest asks Jesus if He is the Messiah, the Son of God. Jesus affirms, and the high priest accuses Him of blasphemy, which under Jewish law at the time was a capital offense.

Mark 14:61-64: Similar to Matthew, Jesus acknowledges He is the Messiah after being directly asked by the high priest, leading to the charge of blasphemy.

Luke 22:67-71: Here, when asked if He is the Messiah, Jesus tells them they would not believe Him if He told them, and when He speaks of His Son of Man title, they ask if He is then the Son of God, to which Jesus responds affirmatively, leading to their decision that they have heard blasphemy.

John 19:7: The Jews insisted to Pilate that Jesus should be crucified because He claimed to be the Son of God, which was a blasphemous claim in their eyes, deserving of death.

Disciples preach Jesus was the Messiah

Acts 5:

42 And every day in the temple and at home they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.

Acts 18:

5 When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedo′nia, Paul was occupied with preaching, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus. ... And when he wished to cross to Acha′ia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed, 28 for he powerfully confuted the Jews in public, showing by the scriptures that the Christ was Jesus.
