If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Ver. 7. Ask what ye will, and it, &c.] Either in money or money's worth. If ye ask and miss it is because ye ask amiss. One was wont to say of Luther that he could have from God what he would; Vir iste potuit quod voluit. And being one time very earnest with God for the recovery of a godly useful man, he cried out, Fiat voluntas mea, Let thy will be done; and then he falls off sweetly, My will, Lord, because thy will; Mea voluntas, Domine, quia tua.
