What were Jesus' abilities?

[JaredR]

While on Earth, did Jesus have access to all abilities of His divine nature (e.g., omnipotence, omniscience, etc.)? I have heard some people say He chose to go without omniscience for example and that He did not know everything. Is this addressed in the Bible (I think I remember something in Hebrews, but I don’t know what it is), and what is the Catholic view?

 

[Cachonga]

Phil 2:5-8 say, “Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, [and] being made in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.” (NAS). I would say this indicates that Jesus “laid aside” His divinity (or, more correctly, choose not to use it) while He was on Earth (notice, He did not begin His public ministry or perform any miracles until after His baptism and the Holy Spirit came upon Him).
