John 14:16

pray . Greek. erotao. App-134 . Not aiteo as in John 14:18 . See 1 John 5:16 , where both words are used.

shall = will.

another . Greek. allos. App-124 .

Comforter . Greek. parakletos, rendered "Advocate" in 1 John 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; John 14:26 ; John 15:26 ; John 16:7 and 1 John 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 Luke 2:25 . See Dr. John Lightfoot's Works, vol. xii, p. 384.

abide . Greek. meno. Same as "dwelleth "in John 14:10 . See p. 1611.

for ever. Greek. eis ton aiona. App-151 .
