Did he call himself "The Son of God", or "A son of God", as all men are?
Read Matthew 16:13-20. He called himself the "Son of Man," and when He asked the disciples who He was, they knew He was the Christ. He then warned the disciples NOT to tell that to the people.
Elsewhere in the Gospel, some demons were all "Spoiler alert! This dude is the Messiah!" and Jesus is like "STFU and get out of that guy!" The concept is known as the messianic secret. No one is exactly sure why He wanted to keep it secret (some theories include He wanted people to come to their own judgements, or that His early ministry wasn't the time to reveal it in case they kill him too early.)
