Jesus also said "I am The Way, The Truth and The Life. No man comes to The Father but by me".
I'm not going to argue the rightness or wrongness of sayings like that, but it is pretty specific. Believe it or not, as you wish, but don't try to say he was a good man who showed us the right way to live our lives. He claimed to be divine. He may have been that, or he may have been a liar and a charlatan, but one thing he was not was another prophet, or holy man. He claimed to much for himself to be that.
Or so his biographers said. Some claim they made most of it up.
