Exegesis
The sentence opens with ho de parakletos {ὁ δὲ παράκλητος | ho dè pará-klē-tos} ‘but the Advocate’, where the postpositive particle de {δὲ | dé} links this promise to the preceding discourse and adds a mild contrast after Jesus’ departure.
The phrase to pneuma to hagion {τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον | to pneû-ma to há-gi-on} is appositional, identifying the Advocate as the Holy Spirit rather than introducing a second subject.
Ekeinos {ἐκεῖνος | e-keî-nos} resumes the subject with masculine emphasis, which preserves the personal force of He even though pneuma {πνεῦμα | pneû-ma} is neuter; the masculine form aligns with the masculine title parakletos {παράκλητος | pará-klē-tos}.
Root and etymology
