Easton's Bible Dictionary

Consolation of Israel: A name for the Messiah in common use among the Jews, probably suggested by Isaiah 12:1; 49:13. The Greek word thus rendered (Luke 2:25, paraklesis) is kindred to that translated "Comforter" in John 14:16, etc., parakletos.

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

(n.) The act of consoling; the state of being consoled; alleviation of misery or distress of mind; refreshment of spirit; comfort; that which consoles or comforts the spirit.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
