(7) Christ is the searcher of hearts, and therefore truly God.

Wesley's Notes

2:25 He - To whom all things are naked, knew what was in man - Namely, a desperately deceitful heart.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

25. knew what was in man-It is impossible for language more clearly to assert of Christ what in Jer 17:9, 10, and elsewhere, is denied of all mere creatures.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

2:23-25 Our Lord knew all men, their nature, dispositions, affections, designs, so as we do not know any man, not even ourselves. He knows his crafty enemies, and all their secret projects; his false friends, and their true characters. He knows who are truly his, knows their uprightness, and knows their weaknesses. We know what is done by men; Christ knows what is in them, he tries the heart. Beware of a dead faith, or a formal profession: carnal, empty professors are not to be trusted, and however men impose on others or themselves, they cannot impose on the heart-searching God.

John 6:64 "But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.
John 13:11 For He knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, "Not all of you are clean." (NASB ©1995)
