It is interesting to ask such a question. Here, you are asking me to assume that Jesus of Nazareth was a real person; that he was actually the son of (a) god; and that he actually performed the miracles as represented in scripture. I wonder if such a question is a precursor to an argument for the existence of god...
I would have, most likely, convinced him to endow me with superpowers too. As long as we are playing make believe, can Jesus zap me and turn me into Goku?
