Jesus did not mislead anyone. The idea that the anointed one was divine was alien even to the Apostles. It is clear from the Gospels that they did not fully and consistently believe Him, and did not become full converts until after the Pentecost.
Under your scenario He sure DID mislead. You have Jesus condoning the false beliefs of the Apostles, if everything you say is right. Jesus said words that were literally true, yet you say that the Apostles gravely misunderstood Him. Obviously Jesus would have known that, and yet Jesus did NOTHING to correct this grievous error (that HE furthered by assenting to it). I don't see how that is possible, but it certainly IS misleading.
They did. It happens all the time. Seems to me this is the first time you are becoming aware of this. :)
Of the eleven who stayed with Him, some doubted Him even until the Great Commission. [Mat 28:17]

God has His own ways, and they are not mine or yours, FK. He actually did do something about that that was even more effective than telling them the truth right there and then.
Not too long afterwords, after He was gone, the same disciples were converted to believers and were martyred for that faithcertainly something more than most of us are willing to do.
It all happens in due time, at God's own pace.
