The Definition of the word Comforter

Comforter

The designation of the Holy Ghost (John 14:16, 26; 15:26; 16:7; "R.V. marg., "or Advocate, or Helper; Gr. paracletos"). The same" "Greek word thus rendered is translated "Advocate" in 1 John 2:1" "as applicable to Christ. It means properly "one who is summoned" "to the side of another" to help him in a court of justice by" "defending him, "one who is summoned to plead a cause." Advocate is the proper rendering of the word in every case where it occurs. "It is worthy of notice that although Paul nowhere uses the word "paracletos, he yet presents the idea it embodies when he speaks" "of the "intercession" both of Christ and the Spirit (Rom. 8:27," 34).
