He would also be saying it in Aramaic as an illiterate builder (stone worker being more likely than carpenter but the Greek word translates generically).

And there were a lot of early groups (Marcion and all the groups we call Gnostic) who took Jesus' teachings to mean God from the Old Testament was an evil demiurge God and Jesus' teachings were to overcome the material world.

With how Christian teachings have coalesced into the Trinity etc it would be really interesting to hear what the historical man himself was actually saying.

He doesn't call himself God until the gospel of John which was written later than the others. Pretty sure the historical Jesus wouldn't be claiming to be God at all. That's just something that happens with religions over time.
