On that day, you won't ask me for anything. Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, whatever you ask the Father for in my name, he will give it to you. Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? Pulpit Commentary Verse 23. - And in that day - that long and blessed period beginning at the Resurrection with your vision of me, and being ever more and more enhanced in blessedness by your intense conviction that "I am with you" and "see you," though you see me not - in that day ye shall put me no question, as in the old method of confidential intercourse of man with man. That period passes away with this solemn night. Not in this way will the intercourse be carried forward. "That day" started from Easter morning, and it is not yet noon. Perhaps one reason for this statement is that the illumination of the Spirit would render such questioning unnecessary, but a more certain explanation is that they would themselves stand in new relations with the Father through him . Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever thing ye shall ask ( αἰτήσητε) the Father, he will give it you in my Name. The modern editors, by placing the ἐντῷονόματίμου ("in my Name") after δώσειὑμῖν, or as Tischendorf (8th edit.), in a clause commencing with δώσει, suggest that in this particular clause the Name of Christ is not only the medium by which the disciples approach the Father (which is obvious enough from Ver. 24), but the manifestation and ministry by which not only is the prayer heard, but the gift or answer bestowed.

And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. A few months after Elle and Nico lost Teddy, they fell pregnant again but tragically lost that baby at 15 weeks in January 2017. Two weeks later, Elle started her blog, Feathering the Empty Nest. “I thought ‘the universe is being an utter bastard to me and I need somewhere to vent,’” says Elle. My home really saved me and I thought if I could share what I’d learnt it might help one person and that could be wonderful, so that spurred me on to write the blog.” In that day you will not [need to] ask Me about anything. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name [as My representative], He will give you. It’s been incredible, but if I could take it all away and just be a normal mummy at home and nobody know who I am or who Teddy was because we were just at playgroup, that would be wonderful but it’s not the way,”
