Teenage Messiah ?

According to the Bible, he told Caiaphas that he was ‘the Christ’. He told a Samaritan woman that he was ‘the Messiah’. He told a Canaanite woman that he was ‘the Son of David’ and he told countless others that he was ‘the Son of Man’.

But when did Jesus have these realisations?

The Synoptic Gospels suggest to some a gradual unfolding of Jesus' own awareness about his Messianic identity, along with the disciples' blindless on the issue until Peter's climatic confession on the road to Caesarea Philippi. John's Gospel suggests Jesus as fully devine since birth.
