TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Our Advocate

On four occasions in the Gospel of John, the unusual Greek word paraklētos (“called alongside,” “advocate”) is used to describe the Holy Spirit (John 14:16, 26; 15:26; 16:7). This term occurs elsewhere in Greek literature, where it refers to a legal advocate—someone who speaks in a person’s defense and provides legal counsel. “Counselor” is a popular translation of this term, but the therapeutic connotations of this word in contemporary English are misleading; the older legal meaning of a lawyer providing advice or counsel is closer to the mark. “Comforter” is another popular translation, but this can also be misleading; the older English meaning of someone who strengthens (an “encourager”) is more accurate to the New Testament concept of paraklētos.

Jesus described the Spirit as another Advocate (14:16). Jesus, who is the first advocate (see 1 Jn 2:1), sent a second Advocate, the Holy Spirit. Every task of the Spirit described in John 14–16 is a task Jesus undertook elsewhere in the Gospel. Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would come to encourage, instruct, and strengthen his followers. In fact, the Spirit would sustain Jesus’ own presence among his disciples. Five promises about the Spirit each indicate a different work that the Spirit does (John 14:16-17, 26; 15:26; 16:7-8, 13-14).

The Spirit became available to Jesus’ disciples after his death (see 7:39; 20:22). The Spirit now continues the work of Jesus and his presence in the life of believers (14:16-26).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ Πνεῦμα τῆς ἀληθείας

the Spirit ¬the ˱of˲_truth

The Spirit of Truth refers to the Holy Spirit. See the discussion of this term in the General Notes for this chapter. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “the Holy Spirit of Truth”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸ Πνεῦμα τῆς ἀληθείας

the Spirit ¬the ˱of˲_truth

Jesus is using of to describe the Spirit who teaches people the Truth about God. If this is not clear in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “the Spirit that teaches God’s truth”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὃ ὁ κόσμος οὐ δύναται λαβεῖν

whom the world not /is/_able /to/_receive

Here Jesus uses world to refer to the people in the world who oppose God. If this would confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “whom the people in this world who oppose God are not able to receive” or “whom those who oppose God are not able to receive”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν ὑμῖν ἔσται

in you_all (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τὸ Πνεῦμα τῆς ἀληθείας ὃ ὁ κόσμος οὐ δύναται λαβεῖν ὅτι οὐ θεωρεῖ αὐτὸ οὐδὲ γινώσκει ὑμεῖς γινώσκετε αὐτό ὅτι παρʼ ὑμῖν μένει καὶ ἐν ὑμῖν ἐστίν)

Jesus uses the future tense will to indicate that the Holy Spirit would be inside Jesus’ disciples at a future point in time. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “will be in you at a future time”
