Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Whom (o). Grammatical neuter, but "whom" is correct translation. The Father will send the Holy Spirit (John 14:16; Luke 24:49; Acts 2:33), but so will the Son (John 15:26; John 16:7) as Jesus breathes the Holy Spirit upon the disciples (John 20:22). There is no contradiction in this relation of the Persons in the Trinity (the Procession of the Holy Spirit). Here the Holy Spirit (full title as in Mark 3:29; Matthew 12:32; Luke 12:10) is identified with the Paraclete.
He (ekeinov). Emphatic demonstrative pronoun and masculine like paraklhtov.
Shall teach you all things (umav didacei panta). The Holy Spirit knows "the deep things of God" (I Corinthians 2:10) and he is our Teacher in the Dispensation of the Holy Spirit of both new truth (verse John 14:25) and old.
Bring to your remembrance (upomnhsei umav). Future active indicative of upomimnhskw, old verb to remind, to recall, here only in this Gospel (cf. III John 1:10; II Timothy 2:14) and with two accusatives (person and thing). After pentecost the disciples will be able better to recall and to understand what Jesus had said (how dull they had been at times) and to be open to new revelations from God (cf. Peter at Joppa and Caesarea).
