That depends on what you mean by "they". The authors of the Synoptic Gospels? Or the followers of Jesus in the Synoptic Gospels?
Before Jesus' death, I doubt his followers saw him as some god. They saw him as the Messiah rather, which is where the term Christ comes from. So nothing beyond a great prophet or king chosen by God to save the Jews from the Romans.
