SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 14:1–14 Jesus is the way to the Father

Jesus continued to prepare his disciples for his death. He encouraged them to keep trusting God and told them that he would prepare a place for them in heaven. He also talked about his unity with God the Father and said that he was the way to go to his Father.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Jesus and God the Father are one

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life

Paragraph 14:8–11

Jesus’ disciple Philip asked to see God the Father. Jesus replied that anyone who had seen him had seen God the Father, because they are one.

14:11a

Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me—

Believe me when I say that I live in the Father and my Father lives in me.
When I say that I live in union with the Father, you should believe what I say.

Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me: Jesus commanded his disciples to believe his statement that Jesus and God the Father are one. See how you translated this statement in 14:10, and use the same expression here. For example:

Believe what I said, that I live in the Father and the Father lives in me.

14:11b

or at least believe on account of the works themselves.

And if you do not believe because I tell you, at least believe because you have seen my miracles.
But if you do not believe because of that, I have done wonderful miracles, so you^(plur) should at least believe because of them.

or at least: This expression is short for “but if you do not believe this.” It refers to the possibility that the disciples would not believe that Jesus was united/one with God. Translate this possibility in a way that is natural in your language. For example:

If not (GNT)

but if you do not believe me (NET)

believe on account of the works themselves: There is a textual problem here:

Many Greek manuscripts do not include the pronoun meaning “me” after believe here. For example:
believe because of the things I do (GNT) (BSB, NIV, GNT, ESV, NASB, NET, NLT, REB, NCV)
Some Greek manuscripts include the pronoun meaning “me” after believe here. For example:
believe me because of the things I do (GW) (RSV, NRSV, KJV, CEV, GW)

It is recommended that you follow those manuscripts that do not include the pronoun meaning “me.” However, it may be natural or necessary to include an object here for the verb believe. If that is true in your language, here are examples of objects that you can use:

believe me

believe what I say

believe it/this

Use the object that is most natural in your language.

believe: This phrase here means “believe that what I say is true.” Or, “believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me.”

on account of the works themselves: The phrase the BSB has translated as on account of the works themselves means “on the basis of my works.” Because Jesus’ disciples had seen the miracles that he did, they could know that God was with him. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

because of the things I do (CEV)

because of the miracles I have done (NCV)

General Comment on 14:11a–b

There is a contrast in 14:11a–b. The contrast is between believing Jesus because of his own word and believing him because of his miracles. Jesus wanted his disciples to believe him because of his word. However, it was better that they believe because they saw his miracles than that they not believe at all. Here is another way to translate this sentence:

Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or at least believe because of the work you have seen me do. (NLT)
