I'm not sure that He did. Jesus certainly is the Messiah and the Son of God. But when He said "before Abraham was, I am" could He not simply be saying that He (Christ) as Son of God was in heaven since the beginning, at the right hand of the Father?

When Jesus said "before Abraham was, I am" could He not be saying that He as Son of God was in heaven since the beginning. I have read the Gospels and maybe I missed it but I have not read any quotes from Jesus saying he was God. Although there is plenty of scripture saying He was the Son and that there is one God. “We know that “there is no God but one.” For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth – as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords” – yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.” (1 Corinthians 8:4-6) “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” 1 Timothy 2:5
