14:1-31 Jesus provided answers to his disciples’ many spoken and unspoken concerns.
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).

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁ ἔχων τὰς ἐντολάς μου
the_‹one› having the commandments ˱of˲_me
Jesus speaks of commandments as if they were an object that someone could possess. If your readers would not speak of knowing commandments in this way, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternative translation, “The one knowing my commandments”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τηρῶν αὐτὰς
keeping them
Here, keeping means obeying. See how you translated this word in 14:15.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὁ δὲ ἀγαπῶν με, ἀγαπηθήσεται ὑπὸ τοῦ Πατρός μου
the_‹one› the_‹one› the_‹one› and loving me /will_be_being/_loved by the Father ˱of˲_me
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “and my Father will love the one loving me”
Note 4 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
Πατρός μου
Father ˱of˲_me
Father is an important title for God.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐμφανίσω αὐτῷ ἐμαυτόν
/will_be/_manifesting ˱to˲_him myself
This could mean: (1) Jesus will reveal himself to his disciples after his resurrection, as also stated in 14:19. Alternate translation: “I will show myself to him after I live again” (2) Jesus will reveal his character to the minds of anyone who loves and obeys him, as suggested by his statement in 14:23. Alternate translation: “I will reveal to him what I am like” (3) Jesus will both reveal himself to his disciples after his resurrection and reveal his character to everyone who loves and obeys him. Alternate translation: “I will reveal myself to him after I live again and will reveal what I am like”
