Jesus' Intentional Question
Commentators note that Jesus' question, "What do you want me to do for you?" is not asked from ignorance. It serves to stimulate the man's faith, prompt him to articulate his specific need, and create a powerful contrast with the self-serving request for power made by James and John just moments earlier. It shows how Jesus engages us personally, inviting us to voice our deepest needs to Him.
