Do you think He was confused and didn't know?
In the passage that you allude to (
Matthew 12:46-50) He was making a point about relationships within the Kingdom versus relationships in the world. Obviously, all of the members of the Kingdom would have earthly progenitors, Jesus Himself included.
But the more important relationships are those that are kingdom related.
Taking what appears to be your intentionally ambiguous approach literally we would have to believe that Peter, John and the others were His literal "birth mothers." That's even more ridiculous than the idea that God had a vial of human blood that He kept around for a few thousand years before injecting it into Peter so that Peter could give birth to the Messiah in Bethlehem... I mean Mary.
