Joh 15:26. Δὲ, but) The testimony of the Paraclete (Comforter) and of the disciples is put in contrast with the ignorance and hatred of the world.-παρὰ τοῦ Πατρὸς, from the Father) The Spirit of God is the same as the Spirit of Christ: Rom 8:9; Gal 4:6. Both are here implied; for as the Son is said to “send the Paraclete” (Comforter), not to the exclusion of the Father: so “the Spirit of Truth” is said to ‘proceed’ from the Father (not to the exclusion of the Son).-ἐκπορεύεται, proceedeth) Rev 22:1. Separation from the person or thing from which the procession takes place is not always denoted by this verb, LXX., Exo 25:35, “According to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick” (τοῖς ἐκπορευομένοις ἐκ τῆς λυχνίας).
