There have been many marytrs who "just pointed out a verse" to kings and those in power. Jerimiah, Michaiah, Nehemiah....all faced death threats for what they proclaimed. Amos was chased out of town. Isaiah was called a traitor. John the Bapist bit it for repeating Isaiah. Prophecy is a full contact sport...even if you don't say you're God.

He was nearly stoned several times by mobs of the people. Luke 4:28, John 8:59. I'm sorry, but saying any of what he said was inflammatory. It's not just when the Son of God claim enters the picture that the commoners anger at his words.
Nor is it terribly wise to play logic dectective with a story that spent so long as a oral tradition. Personally, i don't think we're supposed to be able to proove that Jesus rose from the dead. Those who saw still had doubts. We're supposed to have a logical proof that it occured?
