I Am the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God. I Am That See Me and Fear Tremble

No point in the book of matthew has jesus come out to this point and been like, hey, i am the christ, the messiah, the son of god. He hasn't said that. And he certainly has not discouraged any one from ascribing that to him. The fact that the high priests even know to charge him with means that the evidence is so plentiful that they are forced to either bend the knee or destroy him.
