Johannes 14:13

13 Und was irgend ihr bitten werdet in meinem Namen, das werde ich tun, auf daß der Vater verherrlicht werde in dem Sohne.

Johannes 14:13 Meaning and Commentary

John 14:13

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name
Whether it be for assistance in preaching of the Gospel; or for the performance of miraculous operations in confirmation of it; or for success to attend it; or for any blessings whatsoever, whether for themselves or others:

that will I do;
he does not say, that he would be a Mediator between God, and them, an advocate with the Father for them, and would intercede, and use his interest with him that it might be done, which would have been saying much, and all which he does; but he declares he will do it himself, which is a proof of his deity, and an instance of his omnipotence:

that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
This may be referred either to the petition, which must be made with this view, that the Father may be glorified by, or in the Son, in whose name it is put up, and for whose sake it is made; or to Christ's promise to do it; who in doing it, seeks not his own glory, at least not singly; but as the good of his people, so the glory of his heavenly Father.

Johannes 14:13 In-Context

11 Glaubet mir, daß ich in dem Vater bin und der Vater in mir ist; wenn aber nicht, so glaubet mir um der Werke selbst willen.

12 Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage euch: Wer an mich glaubt, der wird auch die Werke tun, die ich tue, und wird größere als diese tun, weil ich zum Vater gehe.

13 Und was irgend ihr bitten werdet in meinem Namen, das werde ich tun, auf daß der Vater verherrlicht werde in dem Sohne.

14 Wenn ihr etwas bitten werdet in meinem Namen, so werde ich es tun.

15 Wenn ihr mich liebet, so haltet meine Gebote;
