Context of John 16:24
22And ye now therefore have grief; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you. 23And in that day ye shall demand nothing of me: verily, verily, I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

Commentaries on John 16:24
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 24Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name - Ye have not as yet considered me the great Mediator between God and man; but this is one of the truths which shall be more fully revealed to you by the Holy Spirit. Ask - In my name; and ye shall receive - all the salvation ye thus request; the consequence of which shall be that your joy shall be full - ye shall be thoroughly happy in being made completely holy.Read the comment

It was to be…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 23-27Verses 23-27 Asking of the Father shows a sense of spiritual wants, and a desire of spiritual blessings, with conviction that they are to be had from God only.
