Verse 14
If ye shall ask (me) anything in my name, that will I do.
The insertion of "me" in this verse, as in many manuscripts, suggests that prayers might be offered directly to Jesus, as well as addressed to the Father in Jesus' name. Note the prayer of Stephen (Acts 7:59). Dummelow cited Acts 9:14,21,1 Corinthians 1:2, where "calling upon the name of the Lord" was construed by him as examples of the same thing.[10]
