If you truly spent 3 years on Earth, would you squander your time teaching 12 people who, even after those 3 years of teaching, didn't understand what you were... or would you take a broader approach?
Try to spend a few millenia; write your own teachings so future generations had access to them; go everywhere in the world, not just a current (at the time) hub of religious confluence; Give a helping hand in the slaughter of the enemies of Israel; Turn the whole world into your playground, where every single human knows you exist and either fears you, or adores you, or is indifferent to your presence, trying to go on with his life in the best of his abilities.
Wouldn't that be a tiny bit more reasonable than the story in the NT?
OH, don't even mention free will, because the apostles had first hand knowledge... and still.... Judas...
