Jesus learned
2
“Although as God Christ is omniscient, as man He willingly kept within Himself certain knowledge so He could legitimately learn information as any normal human being. How He was able to do this is just one of the many mysteries of the Hypostatic Union (Jesus was 100 percent God and 100 percent man). P. 113

What did Jesus learn? And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. Luke 2:52 Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered. Hebrews 5:8

Jesus is surprised When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. 2 There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. 3 The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this, 5 because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.” 6 So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 7 That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. 8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” Luke 7:1-9

Something Jesus didn’t know
But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Matthew 24:36
6
*Knowledge of “that day or hour (Return of Christ)” seems to be knowledge reserved for the role/job of the Father only

Possible Solution Philippians 2:5-11 (NASB)
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Possible Solution Philippians 2:5-11 (NASB)
It seems that when Jesus Christ came to earth as a man, he gave up certain privileges and rights He had for a time In order to experience humanity, He did not use some of His powers of divinity in order to demonstrate how humans must depend on God’s power to live righteously. In my opinion, I think some knowledge was “set aside” or “not accessed” by Jesus as a human as part of that “emptying” process mentioned in verse 7
