OET (OET-RV) There are many places to live in my father’s residence—I would have told you if there wasn’t because I’m going there to prepare a place for all of you.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ τοῦ Πατρός μου
in the house ˱of˲_the Father ˱of˲_me
Jesus uses house to refer to heaven, which is the place where God dwells. If this would confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “In the place where my Father dwells” or “In heaven where my Father dwells”
Note 2 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
Πατρός
Father
Father is an important title for God.
εἰ δὲ μή, εἶπον ἂν ὑμῖν, ὅτι πορεύομαι ἑτοιμάσαι τόπον ὑμῖν
if and not ˱I˲_told would ˱to˲_you_all because ˱I˲_/am/_going /to/_prepare /a/_place ˱for˲_you_all
The word translated for could also be translated “that,” in which case this sentence would be a question instead of a statement. With either interpretation the point of the sentence is the same: Jesus is emphasizing that what he has just said in the previous sentence is true. He is going to heaven to prepare a place for his people. Alternate translation: “But if not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?”
14:2 There is more than enough room in my Father’s home: God’s house is the dwelling place where he resides (Rev 21:9–22:5). The word translated “room” is related to the Greek verb meaning “remain, abide, dwell.” Jesus promises that his followers will have a place to “dwell” alongside him, wherever he is. Later, this “dwelling” becomes a place of “indwelling” as Jesus makes his home in his followers’ hearts through the Spirit (John 14:23).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
