In some sources, it is thought to be paradidomi, which means "to give over to another", "to transmit", "to hand down", "to grant", "to teach," and "to bestow," but the form is wrong.  - "Is brought forth" is a verb that means "to fasten to." Jesus only uses this word once, but he commonly uses its root which means "bind" or "tie." It is not the past tense as translated. It is the present tense. It is in the form of a verb that indicates a hypothetical future situation (optative mood) with the desire for it to happen. Often translated with a "may" or "let."

παραδῶσιν [43 verses](3rd pl aor subj act)"Deliver you up" is paradidomi, which means "to give over to another," "to transmit," "to hand down," "to grant," "to teach," and "to bestow." -- "Shall deliver up" is a compound word that literally means "to give over." It is often translated in the KJV as "betray" but it has no historical sense of denouncing someone, though it may have acquired that sense from the Gospels. . Its meaning is the idea of transmitting, and handing over. It can even be used in a positive sense, such as "bestowing" a gift. Though in this context, the sense is probably "handing one" over to authorities.

παράδοσιν [5 verses](noun sg fem acc) "Tradition" is paradosis, which means literally "to give over" and it used to mean "handing over" and "passing down." It is used to mean the "transmission" of legends, "bequeathing" of an inheritance," or that which is handed down such as "tradition," "doctrine," or "teaching.  - - "Tradition" is from a noun which means literally "handing over" and it used to mean "handing over" and "passing down."

It means literally "call closer." It is used frequently in the Septuagint  but it is used to translate a variety of different Hebrew words and those Hebrew words are translated into a number of other Greek words. The prefix, para, means "beside", "from the side of", "from beside,", "from", "issuing from", "near", "by", "with", "along", "past", "beyond" and so on. The based word kaleo, means "call", "summon", and "invite". -- (WW) The Greek word that translated as "comforted," literally means will be "to be called near." So it primarily means "to be summoned" since it is in the passive. It also means "to demand," ("called from") "to encourage," ("called along") and "to excite" (called beyond"). We will see this word again when it is translated as "to call," "to beseech," and "to pray", (Matthew 18:32, Matthew 18:29, and Matthew 26:53). In all of them, "call upon" works best in English both in the sense of "summoned" and "to ask." In Luke 15:28, it is translated as "intreated" (entreated). 

παράκλησιν [1 verse](noun sg fem acc)  "Consolation" is paraklesis, which means to "calling to one's aid", "summons", "imploring", "appealing", "invocation of gods",  "exhortation", and "address". - The Greek word translated as "Consolation" means to "calling to one's aid", "summons", "imploring", "appealing", "invocation of gods",  "exhortation", and "address". It does not mean "comfort" or "sympathy" like "consolation" does.

In the Septuagint, it is the translation of the Hebrew qārā' (קָרָא), which means "to call to oneself" or "be called." The prefix primarily generally means "from." -- (CW) "Comforter" is an adjective that means "called to one's aid", "assisting in legal matters", "acting as an advocate", and "summoned." Its acts like a noun when introduced by the definite article. Its sense is "the assistant" but since it root is "invited" perhaps "summoned assistant" is more complete. CW - Confusing Word -- The "comforter" does not capture the word's specific meaning.

παρατηρήσεως, [1 verse]( noun sg fem gen) "Observation" is paratērēsis, which means "observation", "surveillance " "observation" of rules, "close observation" to detect faults, "remark", and "note". -- The Greek noun means "observation" in many senses from  "surveillance" to "scrupulous observation of rules" to a spoken obervation as a "remark". The word means literally "watching over" or "guarding over". This is a classic play on words, critical of the Pharisees for their punctilious observation of Judean law and criticism of other people. Our word "scrutiny" captures the idea best.

παρεκτὸς (παρέξ) [1 verse](adv )"Saving" is parektos, which means "beside" or "except." -- The Greek word translated as "saving" means "out beside," "besides," "except," "exclusive of," "beside" or "except."

It is not the word usually translated as "give." It is translated in the future tense, which matches its form but doesn't quite work because of the word "now" follows it.

This word is most often used is works about writing and elecution.  - The word translated as "ye are like" is from a verb that means "to be like" and "to be much like."

Since it is not related to the word usually translated as "come" in the NT, "arrival" but the apostles clearly used it to mean "presence." It has nothing to do with the verb usually translated as "coming." It is from the present participle of the verb meaning "to have arrived" and "to be present."
