From:
Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Comforter
the
designation
of
the
Holy
Ghost
(
John
14:16, 26; 15:26; 16:7;
R.V.
marg
., "
or
Advocate
,
or
Helper
;
Gr
.
paracletos
").
The
same
Greek
word
thus
rendered
is
translated
"
Advocate
"
in
1
John
2:1
as
applicable
to
Christ
.
It
means
properly
"
one
who
is
summoned
to
the
side
of
another
"
to
help
him
in
a
court
of
justice
by
defending
him
, "
one
who
is
summoned
to
plead
a
cause
."
"
Advocate
"
is
the
proper
rendering
of
the
word
in
every
case
where
it
occurs
.
It
is
worthy
of
notice
that
although
Paul
nowhere
uses
the
word
paracletos
,
he
yet
presents
the
idea
it
embodies
when
he
speaks
of
the
"
intercession
"
both
of
Christ
and
the
Spirit
(
Rom
.
8:27, 34).
