The Fathers on this verse
St Athanasius On the Councils of Ariminum and Seleucia. (De Synodis.), History of the Councils
And in the Holy Ghost, whom the Only-begotten of God Himself, Jesus Christ, had promised to send to the race of men, the Paraclete, as it is written, ‘I go to My Father, and I will ask the Father, and He shall send unto you another Paraclete, even the Spirit of Truth. He shall take of Mine and shall teach and bring to your remembrance all things’ ( Job. xiv. 16, 17, 26; xvi. 14 ).
