I dont want to confuse the issue, i'm just curious.

I know how it sounds but it's translated correctly...
It's related to the truth that:
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
- (Joh 15:16)
And... We also know that this doesnt mean just the disciples but all believers in Christ, from this:
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
- (Joh 6:44)
God bless you all
