Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
14:12 Jesus promised that anyone who believes in him would perform great miracles and experience answers to their prayers (see 1 Jn 5:14). These things would become possible when Jesus went to the Father, because he would send the Holy Spirit to empower the works (John 14:16).
• The greater works will not outdo Jesus’ work, but regular people empowered by the Spirit will be doing them. God promised that in the era of the Spirit, he would bring his Kingdom and power into the world in a way not seen before.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν,
truly truly ˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all
Jesus uses this phrase to emphasize the truth of the statement that follows. See how you translated this phrase in 1:51.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμὲ, τὰ ἔργα ἃ ἐγὼ ποιῶ, κἀκεῖνος ποιήσει
the_‹one› believing in me the works that I /am/_doing also_that_‹one› /will_be/_doing
If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these phrases. Alternate translation: “the one believing in me will also do the works that I do”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὰ ἔργα
the works
See how you translated works in the previous verse.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
καὶ μείζονα τούτων ποιήσει
and greater_‹than› these ˱he˲_/will_be/_doing
Jesus is leaving out a word that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply the word from the previous clause. Alternate translation: “and he will do greater works than these”
Note 5 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
Πατέρα

Father is an important title for God.
