I've been mulling this over further and I'm convinced that this teaching only makes sense in the light of the fact that the Spirit had yet to be given to the disciples (which Jesus goes on to teach further in chapters 14 and 16).peterdrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02314313313164750316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638733241724408444.post-69960523827134965582007-10-17T19:16:00.000+01:002007-10-17T19:16:00.000+01:00How do the following couple of verses fit in, wher...How do the following couple of verses fit in, where Jesus says that Jesus will do whatever they ask for in his name? It sounds as if Jesus is saying he will be able to do more for them beside the Father than he can do on earth.<BR/><BR/>I guess that fits with what you were saying about the Holy Spirit. Verse 12 is a lead in to what he goes on to say about the Holy Spirit, but the focus is on teaching people the truth, rather than doing miracles.<BR/><BR/>Helpful thoughts on a tricky verse.
