The Meaning of 'Ask'
John 14:16
Excerpt
In translating the verb ask, it is important to distinguish clearly between requests for information and requests for benefits. The latter is clearly the meaning in this particular context; Jesus promises "to are desirable, and profitable, because they lead us with safety and delight unto eternal life."
