“But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,”
He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person — Jesus' supernatural knowledge of human interiority (ho en tō anthrōpō) constitutes his authority to judge and his independence from human witness. This knowledge transcends empirical observation, suggesting divine omniscience. The verse emphasizes that Jesus requires no external information; his own perception suffices.
