Jesus instructs His Disciples on Prayer:

During the last supper before Jesus was crucified, He gives additional instructions in regard to prayer:

"And whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ "If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. ¹⁵ "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. John 14:13-15 (NAS)

"You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask of the Father in My name, He may give to you. John 15:16 (NAS)

"And in that day you will ask Me no question. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you shall ask the Father for anything, He will give it to you in My name. ²⁴ "Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full. ²⁵ "These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; an hour is coming when I will speak no more to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father. ²⁶ "In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request the Father on your behalf; ²⁷ for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father. John 16:23-27 (NAS)
