Check back with the Gospel of John. In the Tenth Chapter, the one about the Good Shepard, Jesus does state that he is God's son with these words, from John 10 :29-30. This is from an online Bible search : 29My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. 30I and the Father are one." Noticed that the second of the two passages indicates his union with God who is his father. On the trinity, even though the Bible does not in a direct way say the name, "Holy Trinity", in both the last verses of Mathew's Gospel and in the end of Paul's second letter to the Corinthians, Mathew 28 :19 and 2 Corinthians 13:13 both say in reference to the trinity in a indirect matter. So simply put, the origins of the Christian belief in the Holy Trinity goes back to the Bible itself.
