This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
If ye shall ask me anything in my name (ean ti aitēsēte me en tōi onomati mou). Condition of third class with ean and first aorist active subjunctive of aiteō. The use of me (me) here is supported by Aleph B 33 Vulgate Syriac Peshitta. Just this phrase does not occur elsewhere in John and seems awkward, but see Joh 16:23. If it is genuine, as seems likely, here is direct prayer to Jesus taught as we see it practiced by Stephen in Act 7:59; and in Rev 22:20.
