Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me—This love of theirs is that which is called forth by God's eternal love in the gift of His Son mirrored in the hearts of those who believe, and resting on His dear Son.
In that day—of the dispensation of the Spirit (as in John 14:20).
ye shall ask—inquire of
me nothing—by reason of the fulness of the Spirit's teaching (John 14:26; John 16:13; and compare I John 2:27).
