Or else most of his life is fictional, which is more likely, and the writers wanted him to appear to fulfil prophecies. You see, the gospels are just claims about what happened. We have next to no way to verify any of it beside mundane details. You're assuming everything in the gospels actually happened.
Does it make sense to you that many of the apostles willingly died for their faith in Jesus if it was so easy for Jesus to "fulfill" various prophecies simply by doing what He though the OT texts indicated that He must do in order to fulfill the OT Scriptures?
