PARAKLETOS

As Jesus tells the twelve disciples the details of His departure from this world, He informs them of Father God’s imminent, gracious gift to all who put their faith in Him (Jesus) for their salvation, the Holy Spirit.

John 14.16: Jesus speaking, “I will petition the Father and He will give you another parakleton in order that He [Holy Spirit] may eternally abide with you. He is the Pneuma of Truth, Whom the kosmos [universe, world, cosmos] isn’t able to receive, because it isn’t a spectator of Him nor knows Him. But you know Him because He abides WITH you and will be IN you. I won't leave you as orphans! I AM coming to you. After a mikron [little while] the kosmous no longer sees Me. But you DO see Me! Because I live, you also will live. In that day, you will know that I AM in My Father and you in ME and I in YOU. He, having My commands and keeping them, that one is the one egapon [unconditionally loving] Me and He, egapon Me, agapethesetai [will be unconditionally loved] by My Father and I agapeso him and I will reveal Myself to him.”

 

John 14.25: Jesus speaking, “I have spoken these words to you while abiding with you, but the Parakletos (the Hagios Pneuma) Whom Father will send in My name [authority], that One will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you. Shalom [safety, peace, health, happiness, prosperity, friendship] I leave to you; not as the kosmos gives, do I give to you. Not let your hearts be agitated nor let it [them] be fearful. You heard that I told you. I will disappear and I will come to you. If you egapate Me, you would have rejoiced because I said, ‘I AM going to the Father’ for My Father is greater than I. Now I have told you before it happens, in order that when it happens, you pisteusete [will have faith]. I won't speak with you much longer, for the ruler of this kosmou is coming and he hasn't even one thing in Me, but in order that the kosmous may know that I agape Father and as Father commanded Me, so I must do. Arise! Let us go from here.”

 

John 15.26: Jesus speaking “When the Parakletos comes (Whom I will send to you from the Father, the Pneuma of Truth Who proceeds from Father), that One will testify concerning Me. You also must testify because you are with Me from the beginning.”

 

John 16: 16. “These truths I have spoken in order that you not skandalisthete [may be tripped, entrapped, scandalized]. They will make you outcasts from the synagogue and an hour comes that everyone will think that killing you is a service to bear before Theos. They will do these things to you because they not knew Father nor Me. These truths I have spoken to you in order that when the hour [time] comes, you may recall that I told them to you. I not said these truths to you emergent from the first because then I was with you, but now, I AM going to the One sending Me and not one emergent from you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ But because I have said these truths to you, grief has filled your hearts, but (I tell you the truth) it is profitable for you that I should go for if I not go away, the Parakletos won't come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you. Coming, that One will convict the kosmon concerning hamartias [misses of the mark, goal; offenses, sins], dikaiosune [equity, justification, rightness] and judgment: concerning hamartia because they not pisteuousin [put their reliance, put their faith] into Me; concerning dikaiosunes because I AM going to My Father and you no longer see Me; and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this kosmou has been judged. I have many truths to tell you but now you aren't able to bear them, but when that One (the Pneuma of Truth) comes, He will guide you into all the truth. For He won't speak from Himself, but He will speak whatever He hears, and He will announce to you the coming events. That One will glorify Me because He will receive emergent from Mine and will announce this to you. All which Father has is Mine. For this reason, I said that He [Holy Spirit] receives emergent from Mine and will announce this to you. A mikron of time and you aren't spectators of Me and again a mikron and you WILL see Me because I go to Father.”
