A kind of open question for a slow Sunday night. Did Jesus know he was God? If so, when did he know? If not, what did he know?
(I'd be fine if this thread meanders a bit from this exact topic, and I have not limited it to just Christians or those who believe in the Incarnation. However, I really would prefer this does not become of the 'is not!' 'is too!' threads about whether Jesus was God incarnate. Thank you. )

I think He knew at least from the time He was 12, if you go from the Gospel of Luke.

Which verse are you thinking of Christine? When he was found in the temple teaching?

That does indicate a very early understanding of his vocation. Do you think he knew that he was the Messiah at this point?

That I am not sure of. He did not begin His ministry until He was 30, so maybe not.

Yeah, the incident of teaching in the Temple would seem to be the first intimation that He was aware of some sort of Mission, at least that we have a record of. |

I don't believe Jesus was God, so it would be odd if I thought he "knew" it.
![]() I don't believe Jesus thought he was God, either.
