Jesus does say that repeatedly, but he is paraphrasing the many times YHWH said these things through the prophets, as in:

Deut 29:4 Isaiah 6:9-10 Ezekiel 12:2 Jeremiah 5:21

This (amongst many many other sayings) just corroborates Jesus being the subject/disciple/son of / influenced or inspired by YHWH.

I would just ask you to double check your claim that Gnostic formed part of the Dead Sea Scrolls. References I have checked state that they don't. In fact, http://www.gnosis.org/library/dss/dss.htm would even seem to pit the Qumran and Nag Hammadi finds as competitors on some level. I'm not seeing such a claim on the wikipedia article you linked either..
