{Ask whatsoever ye will} (ho ean thel(8874)e ait(8873)asthe).
Indefinite relative with ean and present active subjunctive of
hel(935c), to wish, to will, and aorist middle imperative of
aite(935c), to ask. This astounding command and promise
(gen(8873)etai, future middle of ginomai, it will come to pass)
is not without conditions and limitations. It involves such
intimate union and harmony with Christ that nothing will be asked
out of accord with the mind of Christ and so of the Father.
Christ's name is mentioned in 15:16 ; cf. 14:13 16:23 .
