This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
pray. Greek. erotao. App-134. Not aiteo as in Joh_14:18. See 1Jn_5:16, where both words are used.
shall = will.
another. Greek. allos. App-124.
Comforter. Greek. parakletos, rendered "Advocate" in 1Jn_2:1. Parakletos and the Latin Advocatus both mean one called to the side of another for help or counsel. The word is only found in John: here; Joh_14:26; Joh_15:26; Joh_16:7 and 1Jn_2:1. So we have one Paraclete (the Holy Spirit) as here, and another with the Father. The Rabbinical writings often refer to the Messiah under the title Menahem (= Comforter), and speak of His days as the days of consolation. Compare Luk_2:25. See Dr. John Lightfoot's Works, vol. xii, p. 384.
abide. Greek. meno. Same as "dwelleth "in Joh_14:10. See p. 1611.
for ever. Greek. eis ton aiona. App-151.
