When the Jewish authorities heard Jesus call God "my (own) Father", they immediately understood that Jesus claimed Himself deity. That claim was either blasphemy, to be punished by death, or else Jesus was who He claimed to be.

Jesus never associated Himself with His disciples by using the plural pronoun "our" Father. Rather, He always used the singular "my" Father, since His relationship was unique and eternal, theirs was by grace and regeneration.

 He said "I am from above" (John 8:23); "Before Abraham was, I AM" (John 8:58); "I and my Father are one" (John 10:30); "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (John 14:9); and "I am not of the world" (John 17:16). He also declared His eternal pre-existence and that He shared the Father's glory (John 6:62; 17:5).

We can't just honor Jesus, we have to honor Him "even as" (in like manner or the same way) we honor the Father. This is what separates true Christianity from the religions of the world. Most religions honor Jesus as a great man (examples: Islam, Unification Church, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc.), but they are violently opposed to making Jesus equal with Almighty God (1 John 2:23). The names and titles given to Jesus in John's gospel clearly present Jesus as being equal with God. He is all we need Him to be.
