John 15:26
When the Comforter is come ( οταν ελθη ο παρακλητος ). Indefinite temporal clause with οταν and the second aorist active subjunctive of ερχομα, "whenever the Comforter comes."Whom I will send unto you from the Father ( ον εγω πεμψω υμιν παρα του πατρος ). As in 16:7, but in 14:16, 26 the Father sends at the request of or in the name of Jesus. Cf. Lu 24:49; Ac 2:33. This is the Procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father and from the Son.
Which ( ο ). Grammatical neuter to agree with πνευμα, and should be rendered "who" like ο in 14:26.
Proceedeth from the Father ( παρα του πατρος εκπορευετα ). "From beside the Father" as in the preceding clause.
He ( εκεινος ). Emphatic masculine pronoun, not neuter ( εκεινο ) though following ο.
Shall bear witness of me ( μαρτυρησε περ εμου ). Future active of μαρτυρεω. This is the mission of the Paraclete (16:14) as it should be ours.
