This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Whom (ho). Grammatical neuter, but “whom” is correct translation. The Father will send the Holy Spirit (Joh 14:16; Luk 24:49; Act 2:33), but so will the Son (Joh 15:26; Joh 16:7) as Jesus breathes the Holy Spirit upon the disciples (Joh 20:22). There is no contradiction in this relation of the Persons in the Trinity (the Procession of the Holy Spirit). Here the Holy Spirit (full title as in Mar 3:29; Mat 12:32; Luk 12:10) is identified with the Paraclete.
He (ekeinos). Emphatic demonstrative pronoun and masculine like paraklētos.
Shall teach you all things (humas didaxei panta). The Holy Spirit knows “the deep things of God” (1Co 2:10) and he is our Teacher in the Dispensation of the Holy Spirit of both new truth (Joh 14:25) and old.
Bring to your remembrance (hupomnēsei humas). Future active indicative of hupomimnēskō, old verb to remind, to recall, here only in this Gospel (cf. 3Jo 1:10; 2Ti 2:14) and with two accusatives (person and thing). After pentecost the disciples will be able better to recall and to understand what Jesus had said (how dull they had been at times) and to be open to new revelations from God (cf. Peter at Joppa and Caesarea).
