"...within reason "???, No. You are quoting the wrong paragraph. We are specifically dealing with the truth or inerrancy of John 14:14-16 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)Jesus is speaking on the last night of his life to his disciples. He tells them that they can ask for "anything" within reason, "anything" that harmonizes with God's will and he (Jesus) in his elevated position will guarantee that their prayers get answered (1 John 5:14).
