Study note

Setting — Jesus speaks to his disciples in the upper room, in the final hours before his arrest, as he prepares them for his absence (John 14:25).

The words — paraklētos (G3875) is a legal term meaning "one called alongside," an advocate or counsel; it frames the Spirit's role in terms of representation before a court, not merely comfort.

The thread — John 14:16 promises "another Advocate," and John 15:26 adds the title "Spirit of truth"; 1 Corinthians 2:10 extends the teaching function to the deep things of God.

Why it lands — The Spirit's work is defined as teaching and reminding, not adding new content; the reader is asked to treat Jesus' words as the fixed standard the Spirit will illuminate, not a draft to be revised.

Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.

King James Version

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
