About Jesus
“After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns of Galilee. 
When John heard in prison what Christ was doing, he sent his disciples  
to ask him, “Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?” 
Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:  
The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.  
Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me.” 
Matthew 11:1-6.
Here while the apostles are carrying out their first mission John the Baptist now in prison sends his disciples to ask Jesus if he is the Messiah. Jesus answers,
“Go back and report to John what you hear and see:  The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.”
  All of these are signs of the Messiah. All are proof of the divinity of Christ.
How much more proof is needed with respect to Jesus. He was doing these miraculous things in front of people.
Things the scribes and pharisees of the day were not doing.
Jesus was showing He was Lord by everything he was doing. Then leaving it up to the individual to decide who he was.
The writers of the New Testament do not shy away from the fact Jesus performed miracles. That he claimed to be from God. That he was indeed the son of God.
Most of the writers of the New Testament were first hand witnesses to what Jesus said and did. The others most certainly spoke to those who walked and talked with Jesus.
All of these men believed the accounts and put it down in writing.
They believed he miraculously healed the sick. 
The he is the Son of God.
That he died for our sins, 
That he rose from the dead. 
That walked on the earth for a while after his resurrection 
That he ascended into heaven to sit at the right hand of God the Father. 
Now to my mind there is only three possibilities here. These men were deceived by Jesus and others, or they are liars.
If it is deception and or lies, it would be the most monumental collection of deception and lies ever  in history.
C. S. Lewis in his book Mere Christianity put it like this,
“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”
