would Jesus have saved himself had he come clean?
IMO, Josephus and Tacitus make it clear that Jesus was crucified by Romans, and that his crucifixion was instigated by the Sanhedrin for claiming to be God, which was considered blasphemy by the Sanhedrin. I’m curious why Jesus never corrected them by stating: “I do not claim to be God.”
