But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
But some of you still don't believe. Jesus knew from day one exactly who wouldn't believe and who would end up betraying him.

📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of John, chapter 6, Jesus is addressing a crowd and His disciples after teaching about Himself as the Bread of Life, which led some followers to question and abandon Him due to the challenging nature of His words. He demonstrates His divine knowledge by revealing that He knew from the start who among them did not truly believe, including Judas Iscariot, who would eventually betray Him. This underscores the theme in John's narrative of Jesus' foreknowledge and the mixed responses to His message in first-century Judea.
