Muslims are not the only ones who believe that Jesus (pbuh) is mortal and not a god. The Jews also believe this, in addition to the very first groups of Christianity such as the Ebonites, the Cerinthians, the Basilidians, the Capocratians, and the Hypisistarians. The Arians, Paulicians and Goths also accepted Jesus (pbuh) as a prophet of God. Even in the modern age there are churches in Asia, in Africa, the Unitarian church, the Jehovah's Witnesses, and even the majority of today's Anglican Bishops do not worship Jesus (pbuh) as God.

Jesus read from the Book of Isaiah in the synagogue in Luke 4:16-20, then closed the book and sat down, telling the people that the prophecy was fulfilled by him.
This episode appears nowhere else in the gospels, and in fact nowhere else is there a suggestion that Jesus could even read. John Dominic Crossan (The Birth of Christianity) points out that Jesus was a peasant from a peasant village. Having researched the level of literacy among Jews in the first century, Crossan asserts that Jesus was illiterate until the opposite is proven. He says it is not proven but simply presumed by Luke, when he has Jesus read from the prophet Isaiah in the synagogue at Nazareth.
It may seem presumptuous to assert that anything found in one of the gospels need not be historical, but it must be understood that the author of Luke's Gospel based almost the entire gospel on Mark's Gospel, thus demonstrating that he had to rely on this source and, for some sayings material, the hypothetical 'Q' document. It is hard to establish how the anonymous author of Luke was aware of events found in this gospel but not elsewhere, unless they were literary creations. Jesus did not read in the synagogue, and in the opinion of Crossan, could not read.

∙ 9y agoIn Luke 4, Jesus reads a prophecy from Isaiah 61 that is recognized by the Jews as a prophecy of the Messiah (the one who would bring in God's kingdom). It declared that the Messiah would preach the good news to the poor, release them from their bondage to Rome, heal people and set people free from affliction. The announcement that Jesus makes comes in Luke 4:21 where he states that the prophecy has been fulfilled, implying that Jesus is the Messiah they are waiting for.

As this question appears to be referring to the Wise Men (Magi) in Matthew 2, then the Scripture is silent on their names and number of them visiting the child Jesus in the house.
What did Jesus read out in the synagogue from the Holy scripture that the people didn't agree to because they didn't believe he was the Son of God?

When Jesus was at school did he ever have to wear school uniform?
Judaism has many formal clothing requirements (the tallith, the yarmulkah ...), so it would be fair to say that Jesus wore school-uniform both when he was at study and also when he attended the synagogue. (Though there no evidence of a synagogue in Nazareth has ever been discovered).
Did Jesus go to school in the synagogue true or false?
As an observant Jew of his time of course he did, however according to the Gospels by age 12 he was astounding the educated Rabbis in the Synagogue with his knowledge of the scripture. No authoritative source addresses anything about his youth beyond his visit to Jerusalem and teaching the learned people in the temple when he was around 12, We may assume that since all boys of his time were expected to spend some time learning in the synagogue that Jesus did as well, but that is only an assumption.
In the time of Jesus how did one look up a specific scripture?

Why was Jesus allowed to debate the elders when he was 12 years old when children are not allowed to speak in the temple during this time?
The temple was the place for the offering of sacrifices. Maybe you are thinking of the synagogue. Jesus was not debating, he was sitting listening to the teachers and asking them questions. Where does the Scripture say this was not allowed?
When Jesus was a boy he went to school at the?
Synagogue probably
