Parakletos — Comforter, Helper, Advocate
הַמְנַחֵם (modern Heb NT)
The One Called Alongside — Comforter, Helper, Counselor, Advocate: no single English word holds it.
'ANOTHER Parakletos' — implying Yeshua was the first. The modern Hebrew NT renders it Menachem, the Comforter, a name Jewish tradition also gives Messiah. Isaiah's double 'Comfort ye' echoes underneath: the God of all comfort moving in.
