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 14:1–4

Jesus’ disciples were upset because he had told them he was leaving. Jesus comforted and encouraged them. He told them that he would come back for them and take them to live with him in his Father’s house.

14:4

You know the way to the place where I am going.”

You^(plur) know the way that leads to the place where I am going.”
You^(plur) already know how to go to where I will go.”

You know the way to the place where I am going: Jesus indicated that his disciples knew the way to his Father’s home.There is a textual issue here:(1) Some Greek texts say you know the way to the place where I am going. For example:You know the way to the place where I am going (GW)(BSB, NIV, GNT, NRSV, NJB, GW, NLT, CEV, NCV, NET, NASB, REB)(2) Other Greek texts say you know where I am going, and you know the way. For example:And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. (KJV)(KJV)It is recommended that you follow option (1). It has early and strong manuscript support, and most English translations follow this option. The UBS Committee gave this reading a B rating which means that there is only a little doubt. Here are other ways to translate this sentence:

You know the way that leads to the place where I am going. (GNT)

You know the way to where I am going. (CEV)

You: This pronoun is plural and refers to the disciples.

the way: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as the way can also be translated as “the path” or “the road.” Literally, the phrase refers to the path between two places and figuratively to the method of getting somewhere.

the place where I am going: This clause refers to heaven, God’s home.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

τὴν ὁδόν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὅπου ἐγώ ὑπάγω οἴδατε τήν ὁδόν)

Jesus uses the way. This could refer to: (1) himself as the means by which people can go to God in heaven, which is clearly the meaning for the way in [14:6](../14/06.md). (2) a manner of life that will eventually lead someone to be with God in heaven. Since the disciples did not understand this when Jesus said it, you do not need to explain its meaning further here.
