This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Joh 14:13. Ὅ τι ἄν) This differs from ἐάν τι, Joh 14:14. For ὅ τι ἄν and τοῦτο mutually refer to one another.-αἰτήσητε, ye shall have asked) A comprehensive promise, Joh 14:14; ch. Joh 15:7, “If ye abide in Me, etc., ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you;” 16, “That whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He may give it you;” Joh 16:23; Joh 16:26, “At that day ye shall ask in My name; and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you,” etc.-ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου, in My name) Mine, who am the Son of God. The reference is to the words, He that believeth on Me, Joh 14:12. In the Old Testament they used to adore the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: in the New Testament the God and Father of our Lord is invoked in the name of Jesus Christ.-τοῦτο ποιήσω, this will I do) So will do [it] in the foll. ver. Both the thing and the person are hereby manifested [τοῦτο being expressed in the first case, ἐγώ in the second; τοῦτο ποιήσω-ἐγὼ ποιήσω], In both, the reference is to the he shall do, Joh 14:12.-ἐν, in) Joh 14:10-11, “I am in the Father, and the Father in Me.”
