John 1:1-18
Who is Jesus of Nazareth? People began debating that question even while they were listening to Him preach and watching Him perform miracles (Mt 16:13-16), and that debate has continued ever since. Was He a rabbi, a prophet, the promised Messiah or God’s divine Son? Did people misinterpret what He said about Himself, was He a religious imposter deliberately deceiving the masses, a delusional fanatic who believed His own lies or the incarnation of God? Did He actually claim to be God or did His followers, full of misguided zeal, turn Him into one later on?
