12a“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
13aAnd whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be bglorified in the Son.
16And I will pray the Father, and aHe will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—

Indwelling of the Father and the Son

20At that day you will know that aI am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.
If ye shall ask me anything in my name (ean ti aithshte me en tw onomati mou). Condition of third class with ean and first aorist active subjunctive of aitew. 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 John 16:23. If it is genuine, as seems likely, here is direct prayer to Jesus taught as we see it practiced by Stephen in Acts 7:59; and in Revelation 22:20.
