Yes, but you should realize that "you know all things" is based on the
reading of Textus Receptus (and Majority Text); OIDATE PANTA, and that's
what KJV translated as "you know all things"--the translation wasn't wrong,
but it was of a a reading that the critical edition (USB4, NA27) doesn't
retain.
