Homilies on the Gospel of John

“Whatsoever you shall ask in My Name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in Me.”

Do you see again that it is He who does it? “I,” says He, “will do it”; not, “I will ask of the Father,” but, “that the Father may be glorified in Me.” In another place He said, “God shall glorify Him in Himself”, but here, “He shall glorify the Father”; for when the Son shall appear with great power, He who begot shall be glorified. But what is, “in My Name”? That which the Apostles said, “In the Name of Jesus Christ, arise and walk.” For all the miracles which they did He wrought in them, and “the hand of the Lord was with them.”
