what about the incident when He was 12, at the temple confounding the elders? "Did you not know I would be about my Father's business?" Later on, calling God as His Father would result in the Jews wanting to kill Him (e.g., John 5). At that age, would an awareness of God as His Father be = to a consciousness of His messiahship?
