Probably both, since we know that at the age of 12 Jesus astounded the teachers in the Temple with His understanding and questions (Luke 2:47) and that He did not begin His public ministry until after the Holy Spirit descended and remained on Him. We also know that the Lord spent a lot of time in prayer.
How do people feel that Jesus is God? if that makes sense. That is a concept that I do not fully understand, I can understand the Son aspect of it.
I believe Justin Martyr was the first Early Church Father to propose the deity of Jesus, however he taught God is two persons not three since he did not include the Holy Spirit in his Godhead. This subject was hotly debated until the Council of Nicea in 325 when the deity of Jesus was affirmed and defined by the men who controlled Christianity.
The big thing which happened was the Nicene Creed, but in this way: Most held out at first for a Scriptural language and expression to make clear against the Arians what the catholic doctrine had been, but as the discussions progressed it became evident that
there was no Scriptural vocabulary which would correctly express the orthodox teaching. They lighted on a philosophical term, homoosios (same substance as) to express what they meant and what had always been the catholic teaching, but there was still needed a formula to summarize and convey their meaning.
