in Jesus name

Faithful petition's ending

A phrase invoking Jesus Christ's authority, typically closing Christian prayers: We ask this in Jesus' name, amen.

The formula signals that the request carries divine backing.

Outside prayer, it can express earnest pleading or exasperation: In Jesus' name, just tell me the truth.

Sometimes spelled in Jesus's name.

The casual oath in Jesus' name overlaps with exclamations like Jesus Christ or for Christ's sake.
