The Greek word "parakletos" translates to "comforter," "advocate," or "helper." It is derived from the verb "parakaleo," which means to call alongside. In Christian theology, particularly in the New Testament, it refers to the Holy Spirit as a divine helper and guide for believers. The term emphasizes the supportive and intercessory role of the Holy Spirit in the lives of Christians.

Why is the Holy Spirit called the advocate or paraclete?

While the synoptic gospels speak of the Holy Spirit, using the neuter Greek word. pneuma, John's Gospel uses parakletos, literally "the One called alongside", but translated as paraclete, as a personal designation for a Spirit called in after Jesus' departure as "advocate" to defend Christians and "comforter".1 John, known to have been written in the same community as John, never uses the word paraclete or advocate for the Spirit, but does use parakletos to describe Jesus (1 John 2:1).
