Since I am not a NT scholar I really don't know whether I can trust N T Wright's assessment here, especially when there are other scholars, most conspicuously Geza Vermes, who would disagree that Jesus saw himself as the personal embodiment of Israel's God. What does seems clear is that he saw himself as a Prophet and as the Messiah. Everything else is open to different interpretations.

I like how he did not say Jesus thought he was God. That never works. Embodying the Divine One is a good way to put it.

"And you, who do you say I, the Son of Man, Am?"
Please meet Him and live with Him before you attempt to answer that question.
