Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 16:23

"And in that day ye shall ask me no question. Verily, verily, I say unto you, if ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name." — John 16:23 (ASV)

And in that day you shall ask Me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatsoever you shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it you.

This is a grand promise. If we dare to ask in the name of Christ—and it is not everything that we could ask for in His name if our petition is such that we honestly judge that we may put Christ's name to it; if it is something Christ would have asked; if it is something Christ could have asked—let us ask in Christ's name, and the Father will give it.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

This shall be one fruit of my passion: that, from now on, whatever you shall ask of the Father in my name, shall be given to you; and though you may not, perhaps, address your prayers to me personally, yet addressed to the Father in my name, they shall succeed.
