The verses around John 14:16.
14If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
Verse explanation
The KJV’s “Comforter” translates a Greek word that could also mean someone called in to help or defend in a trial, a supporter who stands beside whoever needs one. The word “another” indicates that this Comforter would play the same role Jesus had been playing until then, but would remain present after He was gone.
From the John 14 study in Bible in Stories.
