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 / metonymy

τὸν λόγον μου τηρήσει

the word ˱of˲_me ˱he˲_/will_be/_keeping

See how you translated a similar phrase in 8:51.

Note 2 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

ὁ Πατήρ μου

the Father ˱of˲_me

Father is an important title for God.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐλευσόμεθα, καὶ μονὴν παρ’ αὐτῷ ποιησόμεθα

to him ˱we˲_/will_be/_coming and /a/_dwelling with him ˱we˲_/will_be/_making

When Jesus says we in this verse, he is speaking of himself and God the Father, so we would be exclusive. Your language may require you to mark this form.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ μονὴν παρ’ αὐτῷ ποιησόμεθα

and and and and /a/_dwelling with him ˱we˲_/will_be/_making

This clause refers to God and Jesus dwelling within the person who loves and obeys Jesus. After Jesus’ resurrection and return to heaven, he and God live inside every believer through the Holy Spirit. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [and we will live within him]
