John 11:22

But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.

From Background Notes [BN] for July 21^st & 22^nd written by Pastor Bob Brown:

The idea that God will give to Jesus what he asks literally saturates the Gospel of John. One especially clear passage is John 3:34 where we read, "For he whom God has sent utters the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure.

 
The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand." Jesus, when talking to the Samaritan woman, referred to eternal life as "the gift of God" (4:10). Moreover there is an extensive list of other "gifts" from the Father to the Son:

a. The Father has given all judgment to the Son (5:22).

b. The Father has given the Son "life in himself" (5:26).

c. The Father has given the Son authority to execute judgment (5:27).

d. The Father has given Jesus "works to accomplish" (5:36; 17:4).

e. The Father gives followers to Jesus (6:37, 39, 65; 10:29; 17:6, 9, 11; 18:9).

f. The Father gives Jesus the commandment of what to speak (12:49).

g. The Father has given all things into Jesus' hand (13:3).

h. The Father will give the disciples the Holy Spirit in response to Jesus' request (14:16).

i. Whatever the disciples ask the Father in Jesus' name, He will give (15:16; 16:23).

j. The Father has given Jesus authority over all human beings (17:2).

k. The disciples know that everything the Father has given Jesus is from the Father (17:7).

l. The Father has given Jesus the words he, in turn, is to give to the disciples (17:8).

m. The Father has given Jesus His name (17:12).

n. The Father has given Jesus His glory (17:22, 14).

o. The Father has given Jesus the cup of suffering (18:11). [BN, 5]
