John 16:23

Ye shall ask me nothing (eme ouk erwthsete). Either in the sense of question (original meaning of erwtaw) as in verses John 16:19, John 16:30 since he will be gone or in the sense of request or favours (like aitew in this verse) as in John 14:16; Acts 3:2. In verse John 16:26 both aitew and erwtaw occur in this sense. Either view makes sense here.

If ye shall ask (an ti aithshte). Third-class condition, an like ean with first aorist active subjunctive of aitew. Note John 14:26 for "in my name."
