Who Did Jesus Think He Was?

This work questions the lives of Jesus that say he did not think of himself as Messiah. It argues that the Jews held that the Messiah would at first come to suffer and even to die. The Messiah could not say who he was, but would act as Messiah, waiting for God the Father to announce him king. Hence the sayings of Jesus claiming or hinting that he was the Messiah are inauthentic in those respects, even though Jesus was aware that he was the Messiah.
