Jesus declared himself to be the Son of God because He is one of three that makes up the Godhead...the other two are the Father and the Holy Ghost. God further vouched for this claim when He said, "This is my only begotten Son, in Him I'm very well pleased." Throughout the New Testament you'll find many verses that mention God sending His only Son for our sins. It wasn't a claim to make Him (Jesus) sound big for attention, but it was an honest claim that resulted in him being arrested for blasphemy and getting crucified.
