Greek Commentary for John 16:24
Up till now the disciples had not used Christ‘s name in prayer to the Father, but after the resurrection of Jesus they are to do so, a distinct plea for parity with the Father and for worship like the Father. May be fulfilled Periphrastic perfect passive subjunctive of πληροω plēroō in a purpose clause with ινα hina See John 15:11 for some verb (first aorist passive subjunctive with ινα hina) and 1 John 1:4 for same form as here, emphasizing the abiding permanence of the joy. [source]
The present imperative, implying continuous asking. Be asking. Compare Mark 6:22, αἴτησον , the aorist imperative, marking a single, definite petition. [source]
Very literally, may be having been fulfilled. Rev., more correctly, fulfilled. Compare John 15:11. [source]

Indefinite relative clause with οτι hoti (neuter accusative singular of οστις hostis), αν an and the aorist active subjunctive of αιτεω aiteō This is an advance thought over John 14:12. In my name First mention of his “name” as the open sesame to the Father‘s will. See also John 14:26; John 15:16; John 16:23, John 16:24, John 16:26. That will I do The Father answers prayers (John 15:16; John 16:23), but so does the Son (here and John 14:14). The purpose (ινα hina clause with first aorist passive subjunctive of δοχαζω doxazō) is “that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” Plead Christ‘s name in prayer to the Father. [source]
Purpose clause with present active subjunctive of εχω echō “that they may keep on having Christ‘s joy in their faithfulness realized in themselves.” Πεπληρωμενην Peplērōmenēn is the perfect passive participle of πληροω plēroō in the predicate position. For the use of πληροω plēroō with χαρα chara (joy) see John 15:11; John 16:24; Philemon 2:2. [source]
Clear statement that they are not doing “the works of Abraham” in seeking to kill him. See this use of νυν δε nun de after a condition of second class without αν an in John 16:22, John 16:24. This did not Abraham Blunt and pointed of their unlikeness to Abraham. A man that hath told you the truth Αντρωπον Anthrōpon (here = person, one) is accusative case in apposition with me Here we have “I” in the English. “God” here is equal to “My Father” in John 8:38. The only crime of Jesus is telling the truth directly from God. [source]
Second aorist indicative of γινωσκω ginōskō to know. It is a conclusion of a second class condition, determined as unfulfilled. Usually αν an is used in the conclusion to make it plain that it is second class condition instead of first class, but occasionally it is not employed when it is plain enough without as here (John 16:22, John 16:24). See note on Galatians 4:15. So as to I had not known coveting (lust), epithumian ouk ēidein But all the same the law is not itself sin nor the cause of sin. Men with their sinful natures turn law into an occasion for sinful acts. [source]
This is the conclusion of a condition of the second class without αν an expressed which would have made it clearer. But see John 16:22, John 16:24; Romans 7:7 for similar examples where the context makes it plain without αν an It is strong language and is saved from hyperbole by “if possible” Did Paul not have at this time serious eye trouble?
