These are explicit statements that Jesus (Messiah) is God, as opposed to implicit statements which are tagged with #Hints.
- NT:
  - Jn 1:1
  - Jn 1:18
  - Jn 20:28
  - Tit 2:13-14
  - Heb 1:9
  - 2 Pet 1:1
- OT:
  - Ps 45:6

Such claims were initially made as a claim to angelic status (such as Ps 45:6) – not to being the one and only God, which revelation only came with the Second Coming.
