Exegesis
The prepositional phrase para tou patros {παρὰ τοῦ πατρός | pa-rá toû pa-trós} marks the Father as the source from whom the sending is mediated.
A second relative clause, ho para tou patros ekporeuetai {ὃ παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ἐκπορεύεται | hó pa-rá toû pa-tròs ek-po-reú-e-tai}, shifts to a present-tense description of ongoing origin (“proceeds”), distinguishing abiding procession from future mission (“will send”).
In context — John 15:26
When the Advocate comes—whom I will send to you from the Father , the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify concerning Me.
