Thoughts And Things Of The Bible -- Advocate
Advocate or paraclete, is one who pleads the cause of another. (1
John 2:1) Used by Christ, (John 14:16; 15:26; 16:7) to describe the
office and work of the Holy Spirit, and translated Comforter, i.e. (see
margin of Revised Version) Advocate, Helper, Intercessor. This use of
the word is derived from the fact that the Jews, being largely ignorant
of the Roman law and the Roman language, had to employ Roman advocates
in their trials before Roman courts. Applied to Christ, (1 John 2:1)
Derived from Easton's and Smith's Bible Dictionaries
