Did Jesus Know the Hour of his return?

Muslims love to reference Mark 13:32 as a clear indication that Jesus never claimed to be God. Reading the verse out of context and without a wider understanding of the incarnation, does seem at first reading to support the Muslim view. However, on further study, we see there is no contradiction between Jesus claiming to be God and claiming not to know the hour of his return.
