> I would say Jesus only really became/realized he was/decided he was/whatever the son of God about the time he met John.

I think the part in the book of Luke at chapter 2, where Jesus, as a child, stay in the temple after Passover to discuss with the priests and how he answers his parents: "is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" (Chap 2, verse 49 of the KJV) seems to indicate that he was already aware of that, even if he then waited his 30s and meeting with John to start his work.

Aside: I wonder why you use the KJV when it's a) known to have translation errors, and b) harder to understand for those who know modern English.

KJV use always seems quite pharasaical to me. So, why? Thanks.

Because I didn't had a Bible on hand and had difficulty finding one online, as I don't often need to quote it. And other than KJV, I couldn't remember the name of any other translation.
