1 | Jn 14:14 Why "ask Me," instead of "ask" | John 14:14 | InHisLove | 171835 | ||
Why does the translation of this verse differ from other translations (NKJV) in that Jesus tells us to ask Him in His name, while in others He simply states that we are to ask in His name? It seems to conflict with John 16:23 where He specifically tells His disciples to ask Him nothing (question Him about anything) IN THAT day, but ask His Father in His name. In teaching the Lord's Prayer, Jesus told His disciples to pray to the Father. The mood of the verb ("pray" in Matthew and "say" in Luke) is imperative, implying a command. Is there room in the Greek text to allow the translation of John 14:14 to leave "Me" out of the text as in the KJV? Thank you, InHisLove |
