King James Bible
"And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."
Jesus promises his disciples that prayers offered "in his name" will be answered—meaning requests aligned with his character, authority, and mission. This isn't a blank check for any desire, but an invitation to pray according to Christ's will and purposes. Christ himself commits to actively fulfill these prayers, emphasizing his divine authority and ongoing work even after his departure. This personal guarantee underscores the intimate connection between the risen Christ and his followers. The ultimate purpose of answered prayer is revealed: to display God's glory through Christ's actions. This frames prayer not as self-serving but as participation in the divine mission of revealing the Father's nature through the Son's work.
