I disagree with Jeus taking advantage of this time of ignorance and mysticism just to introduce another point. Imagine, if you will, that you discovered that you had abilities beyond anyone else. Would people listen to you if you said that you were like everyone else? Or would they artificially enhance everything about you to make fantastic stories? Would they even martyr you or kill you because of their fear and jealously of your talents?
Read the novel
Illusions by Richard Bach. It is very short novel, one to read in a sitting. The messiah in this is just like everyone else yet no one listens to his message of everyone is capable His miracles.
