Is Jesus a saint

In a way, yes. Jesus never used the actual Word 'saint' though for two reasons. First he spoke Aramaic not English (!) and secondly, the idea of a Saint being recognised as they are by the Roman Catholic Church, as in 'Saint Theresa of Lisieux' or 'Saint Francis of Assissi' is not a Biblical custom, and so does not occur in scripture. The Word 'saint' comes from the Latin 'sanctus' which means 'holy'. So a 'saint' is simply a 'holy' person. In the Roman Catholic, and in other churches, holy men and women are officially designated 'saints' (as in the above two examples) but in actual fact, the whole of the Christian community can be thought of as 'saints' as they all aspire to be like Jesus - holy. This gives rise to the concept of the Communion of Saints - those Christians who are part of the whole Christian eople both living and dead (as suggested by Paul in 1 Corinthians 12). In the context of a saint being a 'holy person', Jesus definitely did support this idea of sainthood. In Matthew's gospel (5:48) he says --"Be ye therefore perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." The Greek Word used for 'perfect' is teleiOS, which means 'without blemish' 'no spot on your character' or 'holy'. So, although Jesus didn't use the actual Word 'saint' he calls us all to sainthood; we are to aspire to be holy and saintly just as God is holy.
