Exegesis
The verb erōtēsete {ἐρωτήσετε | erōtḗsete} is therefore best heard as a question directed toward Jesus, not the prayer language used later in the verse.
In context — John 16:23
And in that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you.
