John 14:13
Bible verse for Thursday, January 7, 2027.
John 14:13
“Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”
— Bible (KJV) · Read John in context
The scene behind the verse
Jerusalem, Israel. ~33 AD. Upper room after Passover meal. Jesus knows He'll be dead in hours, preparing His terrified disciples for His absence.
Original language
poieō (ποιήσω) — to make, create, accomplish with authority and power
Historical context
This promise was given just before Jesus' arrest - the disciples would need it within hours
What most readers miss
Jesus says 'I will do it' not 'the Father will do it' - claiming divine authority
Common misconception
Most people think 'in Jesus' name' is a magic formula to end prayers. But it means praying according to His character and will, not using His name as a password.
How this verse has been applied
Before praying your request, ask: 'Will this bring glory to God?' If yes, pray boldly. If unsure, pray anyway and trust His wisdom.
