This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
prayed and said, Thou, Lord, etc. - “The word ‘Lord,’ placed absolutely, denotes in the New Testament almost universally THE SON; and the words, ‘Show whom Thou hast chosen,’ are decisive. The apostles are just Christ’s messengers: It is He that sends them, and of Him they bear witness. Here, therefore, we have the first example of a prayer offered to the exalted Redeemer; furnishing indirectly the strongest proof of His divinity” [Olshausen].
which knowest the hearts of all men - See Joh 2:24, Joh 2:25; Joh 21:15-17; Rev 2:23.
