-- "The Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven" is a reference to a prophecy in Daniel about a Son of Man who would be worshipped by all people.

-- "Blasphemy" the high priest recognizes Christ's claim to be God by calling the claim "blasphemy". Why else have a death penalty?

There are plenty of other examples of Christ's claiming to be God. For example, his claim to have the authority to forgive sins. As well him referring to himself as the "Lord."
