Romans 9:5: "Theirs [the people of Israel] are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen." - NIV

Jesus doesn't say that He's not God by saying that He's His Son. as His creation we are His sons and daughters, so as God created Jesus the person for Himself to be, Jesus is His Son. so if Jesus doesn't say He's not God, and the Bible (as i quoted) teaches that He is, then the Bible explicitly teaches that Jesus was (and is) God.
