SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:13
Y todo lo que pidiereis al Padre en mi nombre, esto har, para que el Padre sea glorificado en el Hijo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 14:13
Verse 13. Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name] To enable you to perform these miracles, and to convert souls, may be granted you. Besides, by going unto the Father, I shall receive the Holy Spirit, and send down his abundant influences into the hearts of those who believe.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name , etc.] Whether it be for assistance in preaching of the Gospel; or for the performance of miraculous operations in confirmation of it; or for success to attend it; or for any blessings whatsoever, whether for themselves or others: that will I do ; he does not say, that he would be a Mediator between God, and them, an advocate with the Father for them, and would intercede, and use his interest with him that it might be done, which would have been saying much, and all which he does; but he declares he will do it himself, which is a proof of his deity, and an instance of his omnipotence: that the Father may be glorified in the Son . This may be referred either to the petition, which must be made with this view, that the Father may be glorified by, or in the Son, in whose name it is put up, and for whose sake it is made; or to Christs promise to do it; who in doing it, seeks not his own glory, at least not singly; but as the good of his people, so the glory of his heavenly Father.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-17 - Whatever we ask in Christ's name, that shall be for our good, an suitable to our state, he shall give it to us. To ask in Christ's name is to plead his merit and intercession, and to depend upon that plea The gift of the Spirit is a fruit of Christ's mediation, bought by his merit, and received by his intercession. The word used here, signifie an advocate, counsellor, monitor, and comforter. He would abide with the disciples to the end of time; his gifts and graces would encourag their hearts. The expressions used here and elsewhere, plainly denote person, and the office itself includes all the Divine perfections. The gift of the Holy Ghost is bestowed upon the disciples of Christ, an not on the world. This is the favour God bears to his chosen. As the source of holiness and happiness, the Holy Spirit will abide with ever believer for ever.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
13. In my name. The first occurrence of the phrase. See on Matthew xxviii. 19. Prayer is made in the name of Jesus, "if this name, Jesus Christ, as the full substance of the saving faith and confession of him who prays, is, in his consciousness, the element in which the prayerful activity moves; so that thus that Name, embracing the whole revelation of redemption, is that which specifically measures and defines the disposition, feeling, object, and contents of prayer. The express use of the name of Jesus therein is no specific token; the question is of the spirit and mind of him who prays" (Meyer). Westcott cites Augustine to the effect that the prayer in Christ's name must be consistent with Christ's character, and that He fulfills it as Savior, and therefore just so far as it conduces to salvation.
