What Does John 14:26 Mean in the King James?
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
The analysis reads the King James wording.
King James Version The King James Version, first published in 1611. Selah Verse shows the standard text.
THE KEY
The Father sends the Set-Apart Breath in Jesus’ nature, making Jesus’ words present through teaching and remembrance.
THE MEANING
The Father sends the Comforter, the Set-Apart Breath, in the nature of Jesus. This presence teaches you and brings Jesus’ words into your remembrance, making what he has said present to you now.
WHAT THIS UNDOES
The lie that Jesus’ words can become irretrievably absent from your mind is undone: the verse describes them being brought back into remembrance.
THE ROOT
ὄνομα
onoma
GROWS FROM
ὀνομ-
onom-
Name; to name or identify.
ὄνομα (onoma, name) carries more than a spoken label: “in my name” speaks of the nature and character of Jesus. The breath is sent in that nature, teaching and recalling what Jesus has said.

πνεῦμα

GROWS FROM
πνέω
pneō

“Holy Ghost” in this verse is pneuma. πνεῦμα (pneuma, breath) holds breath and wind in one word. Here it is set-apart breath: a living presence through which Jesus’ words are taught and brought back to mind.

GROWS FROM

This noun names the faculty of remembering that the verse says is stirred into activity.
anamnēsis: Remembrance or recollection.
ἀνάμνησις
This related word presents remembering as bringing something back to mind, echoing the verse’s promise.
THE PATTERN
Set-apart breath makes received words available as guidance, speech, and remembrance.
Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.THE THREAD
For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.The same Greek word, πνεῦμα (pneuma, breath), appears here as the Father’s breath speaking within you. This opens John 14:26’s teaching and remembrance as an inward movement: Jesus’ words become present in the breath that speaks.
