|The Greek here just says "all," but the context makes it clear this is not about "things" that God gives to Jesus, but people, so "everyone" is the most accurate translation here.

|It's a minor point, but in the oldest manuscripts, the words "the Father" appear in this verse, where the words "the Son" are found, not the previous one. It appears that later scribes made a copy error, inverting some of the words between verses 39 and 40. The word for "sees" is θεωρέω, a more casual kind of seeing, almost "being a spectator," meaning, they don't have to see Him in person, and they don't have to completely understand everything about Him, they simply need to place all their trust and faith in Him.
