Context of John 6:64

62Then what if you were to observe the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? 63The Spirit is the one who gives life. The flesh doesn’t help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. But there are some among you who don’t believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning those who did not believe and the one who would betray him.) 65He said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted to him by the Father.” 66From that moment many of his disciples turned back and no longer accompanied him.

And who should betray him - Or, who would deliver him up. Because he knew all things; he knew from the first, from Judas's call to the apostleship, and from eternity, (if the reader pleases), who it was who would (not should) deliver him up into the hands of the Jews.
