In other words: let's say jesus, the man, said those words. Which is the most likely explanation:
1) He thought he was talking to god. Whether or not anyone was listening is irrelevant. But he himself was not god.
2) He actually was god, talking to another aspect of himself, which had different knowledge to him, causing him to become confused by himself.
How many assumptions do you have to make for option 2 to even be possible, let alone probable?
A) It is possible there is a god
B) There is a god
C) This man jesus was (part of) that god
D) This god can split itself into distinct entities with separate knowledge
E) This god would choose to do the above for some reason
F) This god would want people to witness part of himself talking to another part of himself, apparently confused, as if he was just a man talking to some unseen distinct entity
Assumptions required for option 1:
None.
