I would go beyond that. I would say that Jesus never really said anything that did not imply that He was God; look, for instance, at his claim to forgive sins, or, conversely, to have the power and right to judge. The difference between Him and the great teachers of virtue and wisdom, in particular Socrates and Confucius, is simply enormous; and notice that both Socrates and Confucius were careful to state that they had nothing to teach about the universe or the supernatural. Both of them felt that virtue in human life was a long enough, more than lifelong, study.
