Jesus's Divine Knowledge
Commentators consistently point to this verse as a clear demonstration of Jesus's divine nature. His knowledge of who truly believed and who would betray Him was not based on observation over time but on a divine insight into the human heart. Scholars like Albert Barnes and John Gill see this as proof of His omniscience, showing He was never surprised by hypocrisy or apostasy.
