Exegesis
The sentence begins with a fronted temporal frame, en ekeinē tē hēmera {ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ | en ekeínē tē hēmérā} ‘in that day,’ which marks a future point of transition in the disciples’ experience.
The future middle verb aitēsesthe {αἰτήσεσθε | aitēsesthe} ‘you will ask’ presents the disciples as the active petitioners.
