OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 14:28

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

ἐγὼ εἶπον ὑμῖν, ὑπάγω καὶ ἔρχομαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς

I said ˱to˲_you_all ˱I˲_/am/_going_away and ˱I˲_/am/_coming to you_all

If the direct quotation inside a direct quotation would be confusing in your language, you could translate the second direct quotation as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [I said to you that I am going away, and I will come back to you]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-contrary

εἰ ἠγαπᾶτέ με, ἐχάρητε ἄν

if ˱you_all˲_/were/_loving me ˱you_all˲_/were/_elated would

Jesus is making a conditional statement that sounds hypothetical, but he knows that the condition is not true. Jesus knows that at this point his disciples don’t truly love him in the way that they should. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a condition that the speaker believes is not true. Alternate translation: [If you loved me, but you don’t, you would be glad, but your aren’t]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πορεύομαι πρὸς τὸν Πατέρα

˱I˲_/am/_going to the Father

Here Jesus implies that he will return to his Father. Alternate translation: [I am going back to the Father]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ Πατὴρ μείζων μού ἐστιν

the Father greater_‹than› ˱of˲_me is

Here Jesus could mean: (1) that the Father has greater authority than the Son while the Son is on the earth. Alternate translation: [the Father has greater authority than I have here] (2) that Jesus functions in a subordinate role to the Father for all time. Alternate translation: [the role of the Father is superior to the role that I have]

Note 5 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
