ARE YOU THE SON OF GOD? I AM!
Mark 14:60-64 (King James Version) - And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
Mark 14:60-63 (As I understand it) - And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Do You have nothing to say in your defense? Of what do these witnesses accuse You? But He remained silent, and answered nothing. Again, the high priest asked Him, Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed (of God)? And Jesus said, I AM: and you shall see Me, the Son of man (mankind, that is, of Mary) sitting at the right hand of My Father, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Then the high priest tore his clothes, and said, What He has said is blasphemy; we do not need any more witnesses! What is your judgment? And they all condemned Him to be guilty and declared Him to be worthy of death.
JESUS DECLARED HIMSELF TO BE THE I AM!

John 18:3-6 (King James Version) - Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he.* And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he,* they went backward, and fell to the ground.

BY CALLING HIMSELF "I AM,"
HE WAS DECLARING HIMSELF TO BE GOD!
Exodus 3:13-14 (King James Version) - And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?

THE JEWS UNDERSTOOD WHAT JESUS WAS
CLAIMING, AND THEY CRUCIFIED HIM FOR IT!
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT JESUS IS GOD?
IF SO, THEN YOU KNOW YOU CAN TRUST HIM!
