andre). One need not profess to be a Greek scholar to
know that the Greek word for "comforter or consoler" is
not "Paraclytos" but "Paracalon". I have no Greek version
of the Septuagint with me, but I remember perfectly well
that the Hebrew word for "comforter" ("mnahem") in the
Lamentations of Jeremiah (i. 2, 9, 16, 17, 21, etc.) is
translated into Parakaloon, from the verb Parakaloo, which
means to call to, invite, exhort, console, pray, invoke. It
should be noticed that there is a long alpha vowel after
the consonant kappa in the "Paracalon" which does not
exist in the "Paraclytos." In the phrase (He who consoles
us in all our afflictions") "paracalon" and not "paraclytos"
is used. ("I exhort, or invite, thee to work"). Many other
examples can be cited here.
