To GO OUT, come forth — an ordinary verb of motion. ⚠ It carries more theological weight than any other ordinary verb in the New Testament, because John 15:26 says the Spirit of truth 'ekporeuetai from the Father' and the Nicene Creed took its participle from that verse. The Latin West later added Filioque — 'and from the Son' — and the addition became one of the stated causes of the 1054 split between East and West. ⚠ The verse itself supports the argument on both sides in one line: the Son SENDS the Advocate and the Advocate comes out FROM THE FATHER. John's only other use is 5:29, of the dead coming out of their tombs. KJV and ASV print the creedal 'proceedeth'; NIV prints 'goes out from', which is the plain verb. → first discussed at John 15:26
