Context of John 6:64
62Think about this: The Son of Man will go up again to the place where he was before. And you will see him go up. Will you agree to that? 63It is the Spirit that gives you life. People cannot do that. The words that I have spoken to you come from the Spirit. They give you life. But some of you do not believe my message.’ Jesus had known from the beginning which of them would not believe in him. Also, he had always known who would sell him to his enemies. 65Then Jesus said to them, ‘That is why I told you that only the Father can bring people to me. Nobody can come to me unless the Father makes them able to come.’ 66From that time, many of Jesus' disciples left him. They did not go with him any longer.

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.
