But I think you have to finish the sentence to understand it.If we are to come to God already knowing his will why did Jesus teach us to pray, "Your will be done"
Thy will be done... on earth as it is in heaven."
He knew the will of the Father. We are to pray that what is in heaven takes place on earth also.
and pray himself, "Not my will, but Yours be done".
In this case the will of the Father was fully known. Jesus of course was not looking forward to what was ahead of Him and naturally would have wanted another way. Thing is, He knew the will of the Father and He followed it regardless of the horror that was coming.
But we cannot say that the will of the Father was NOT known in either case.
