OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 14:21

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ ἔχων τὰς ἐντολάς μου

the_‹one› having the commandments ˱of˲_me

Jesus speaks of commandments as if they were an object that someone could possess. If your readers would not speak of knowing commandments in this way, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternative translation, “The one knowing my commandments”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τηρῶν αὐτὰς

keeping them

Here, keeping means obeying. See how you translated this word in 14:15.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὁ δὲ ἀγαπῶν με, ἀγαπηθήσεται ὑπὸ τοῦ Πατρός μου

the_‹one› the_‹one› the_‹one› and loving me /will_be_being/_loved by the Father ˱of˲_me

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “and my Father will love the one loving me”

Note 4 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Πατρός μου

Father ˱of˲_me

Father is an important title for God.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐμφανίσω αὐτῷ ἐμαυτόν

/will_be/_manifesting ˱to˲_him myself

This could mean: (1) Jesus will reveal himself to his disciples after his resurrection, as also stated in 14:19. Alternate translation: “I will show myself to him after I live again” (2) Jesus will reveal his character to the minds of anyone who loves and obeys him, as suggested by his statement in 14:23. Alternate translation: “I will reveal to him what I am like” (3) Jesus will both reveal himself to his disciples after his resurrection and reveal his character to everyone who loves and obeys him. Alternate translation: “I will reveal myself to him after I live again and will reveal what I am like”
