How about John 15: "If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you."
Seems like he was pretty well loved by a pretty wide and worldly audience. That doesn't mean he was a bad man, or that he wasn't himself saved. It does suggest, however, that his public message was tailored to avoid upsetting worldly and powerful people. Perhaps he loved adulation a little too much.
