They seem to suggest that he was also walking around claiming to be God. I am firmly convinced that Jesus never talked about himself as God. If you look at all of that material, Matthew, Mark, Luke, Q, M, and L, okay, all of that together, Jesus never calls himself God. All of our earliest sources where Jesus starts calling himself God is the Gospel of John,. And so to my thinking, you have these sources of information about Jesus.
