    Default The word paraclete mentioned in the gospel

    THE WORD PARACLETE MENTIONED IN THE GOSPEL

    PARACLETE: HELPER, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, COMFORTER

    If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask God, and He will give you another Paraclete to be with you forever. (John, 14:15-16)


    But the Paraclete … whom God will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. (John, 14:26)


    When the Counselor comes … he will testify about me. And you also must testify about me... (John 15:26-27)


    But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Paraclete will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment. (John, 16:7-8)


    In regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; in regard to righteousness, because I am going to God, where you can see me no longer; and in regard to judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. (John, 16:9-13)


    I will not speak with you much longer, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no hold on me. (John, 14:30)

    I am not sure what you are asking, but Paraclete is the Holy Spirit.
    Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me. ....................

    Maybe not relevant but when I was a child, I got paraclete mixed up with parakeet.For a long time I imagined the Holy Spirit as a brightly coloured bird.

    Oh I don't know. For an innocent Child, I think the Holy Spirit would approve
    Never be overwhelmed by decisions, just consider the right ones and your options will be far fewer.

    Well, the innocence of a child is very precious.
