The two things that he said that had the most influence on me recently are; "Follow Me" and "Those who have not sinned cast the first stone."
The first quote demonstrates the attunement of those that heard his words had for him; since they immediately followed. The second one leaves us unable to judge anyone.
His first disciples were fishermen, with boats (pretty wealthy for the standards of that society) who never saw Jesus before. They left everything without delay. They recognized consciously or subconsciously their guru of previous lives.
No other plausible explanation.
