While on earth in human form, did Jesus know everything?

Sincerely,
Smarty Pants

Dear Smarty Pants,

No, Jesus didn’t know everything while here on Earth.  When Jesus was a child, He grew and learned things just like every other child (Lk 2:52).  When discussing the destruction of Jerusalem, Jesus specifically said that He wasn’t aware when the Father would destroy that city (Matt 24:36).  When He was in His physical body, Jesus suffered and dealt with every weakness and struggle that we do (Heb 4:15)… including not always knowing what would happen next.
