Exegesis
The sentence begins with the open-ended petition clause ho ti an aitēsēte {ὅ τι ἂν αἰτήσητε | hó ti án aitḗsēte} ‘whatever you might ask’. The combination of the indefinite elements with ἄν keeps the request unrestricted while still contingent.

In context — John 14:13
And whatever you may ask in My name, this I will accomplish, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son .
