his having allegedly fulfilled much Old Testament prophecy, for example,

But if he were truly wise, he would know his message would carry farther if he were to fulfill those prophecies. So he may have acted that way intentionally. He was incredibly educated on Jewish readings, after all, having debated the priests even as a child.

I think he filled the expectations of those who were looking for someone close to God. And I believe he knew he was doing that, it wasn't an accident. He was a wise guy, he knew what he was doing.
