SOTN 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.

14:1a

“Do not let your hearts be troubled.

¶ “Do not allow yourselves to be distressed/upset.
¶ Jesus said to all the disciples, “Make your^(plur) hearts/spirits calm/quiet.
¶ Jesus said to his disciples, “Do not be worried anymore!

Jesus continued the speech he began in 13:38. However, there he spoke only to Peter, while here he began to speak to all the disciples. In some languages it may be natural to supply a quote introducer here, because it is a new chapter. For example:

Jesus said to his disciples (CEV)

Do not let your hearts be troubled: This sentence is a command addressed to all the disciples and means “Stop being troubled” or “Stop being upset.” Jesus had just told them that he was leaving so all the disciples were very worried. This sentence tells them to be at peace. Here are other ways to translate this sentence:

Do not be worried and upset. (GNT)

Set your troubled hearts at rest. (REB)

You must not let yourselves be distressed. (JBP)

your hearts: The pronoun your is plural which indicates that Jesus now spoke to all the disciples, not just Peter. Jews thought that the heart was the source and center of the will and emotions. In some languages it is more natural to speak of another body part. Or it may be more natural to refer to the emotions rather than to any body part. For example:

Don’t be worried! (CEV)

Do not be troubled in your livers. (Yakan Back Translation)

14:1b

You believe in God; believe in Me as well.

Trust in God always; trust also in me. (REB)
Keep^(plur) on believing in God and in me.

You believe in God; believe in Me as well: This sentence gives positive commands in contrast to the negative command in 14:1a. Rather than being troubled, the disciples should trust God and trust Jesus.

You believe in God: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as You believe can be interpreted in two ways:

It is a command. For example:
Trust in God (NIV) (NASB, RSV, NRSV, ESV, NIV, REB, GW, GNT, NLT, CEV, NCV)
It is a statement, a description of what was already happening. For example:
You trust in God (NJB) (BSB, NJB, KJV, NET)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1), along with most English translations. Jesus was encouraging his disciples to find peace by trusting God and trusting him.

This phrase includes the idea of believing the facts about God and what he has done. But it also includes the idea of trusting God instead of trusting oneself or someone else. Both ideas are very closely related. If someone believes the facts about God, it should result in trusting him. See how you translated similar phrases about believing in Jesus in 1:12, 7:31, and 7:38. Here are other ways to translate this idea:

Have faith in God (CEV)

Trust in God (NLT)

believe: The two verbs that the BSB translates as believe in this context mean “keep on trusting.” The disciples already believed/trusted in God and in Jesus to a certain extent. Jesus wanted them to continue to trust, and to trust deeply. For example:

Trust in God always; trust also in me. (REB)

you must hold on to your faith in God and to your faith in me (JBP)

believe in Me as well: See the note about “Believe in God” just above and how you translated that clause. Translate this clause in a similar way. For example:

have faith in me (CEV)

trust also in me (NLT)

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / you

In [14:1–7](../14/01.md) the word “you” is always plural and refers to Jesus’ disciples.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μὴ ταρασσέσθω ὑμῶν ἡ καρδία

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μή ταρασσέσθω ὑμῶν ἡ καρδία πιστεύετε εἰς τόν Θεόν καί εἰς ἐμέ πιστεύετε)

Jesus uses heart to represent the disciples’ thoughts and emotions. If this would confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Do not let your thoughts be troubled]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

πιστεύετε εἰς τὸν Θεόν, καὶ εἰς ἐμὲ πιστεύετε

˱you˲_˓are˒_believing in ˱you˲_˓are˒_believing (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μή ταρασσέσθω ὑμῶν ἡ καρδία πιστεύετε εἰς τόν Θεόν καί εἰς ἐμέ πιστεύετε)

Both of these clauses could be: (1) commands, as in the UST. (2) statements. Alternate translation: [You believe in God; you also believe in me]

Jesus’ Arrest, Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial

Matthew 26-27; Mark 14-15; Luke 22-23; John 13-19

On the Thursday before he was crucified, Jesus had arranged to share the Passover meal with his disciples in an upper room, traditionally thought to be located in the Essene Quarter of Jerusalem. After they finished the meal, they went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples. There Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ own disciples, betrayed him to soldiers sent from the High Priest, and they took Jesus to the High Priest’s residence. In the morning the leading priests and teachers of the law put Jesus on trial and found him guilty of blasphemy. The council sent Jesus to stand trial for treason before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who resided at the Praetorium while in Jerusalem. The Praetorium was likely located at the former residence of Herod the Great, who had died over 30 years earlier. When Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he sent him to Herod Antipas, who had jurisdiction over Galilee. But when Jesus gave no answer to Herod’s many questions, Herod and his soldiers sent him back to Pilate, who conceded to the people’s demands that Jesus be crucified. Jesus was forced to carry his cross out of the city gate to Golgotha, meaning Skull Hill, referring to what may have been a small unquarried hill in the middle of an old quarry just outside the gate. After Jesus was unable to carry his cross any further, a man named Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry it for him. There at Golgotha they crucified Jesus. After Jesus died, his body was hurriedly taken down before nightfall and placed in a newly cut, rock tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish high council. This tomb was likely located at the perimeter of the old quarry.
