The word does not occur in the KJV. It is an English form of the Greek parakletos, a name applied by the Lord (John 14: 16, 26; John 15: 26; John 16: 7) to the Holy Spirit, and which may be translated Comforter, Advocate, or Helper. The same name is applied by John (1 Jn 2: 1) to the Lord himself. Advocate is probably the English word that most nearly represents the meaning of the Greek.
