Carson says, “Since heaven is here pictured as the Father’s house, it is more natural to think of ‘dwelling-places’ within a house as rooms or suites… The simplest explanation is best: my Father’s house refers to heaven, and in heaven are many rooms, many dwelling-places. The intended meaning seems to be that we’ll have separate dwelling places on a single estate or even separate rooms within the same house. Unfortunately, that rendering is misleading if it makes us envision having massive lodgings on separate estates. The Vulgate, the Latin Bible, used the word mansiones in that verse, and the King James Version followed by using mansions. Perhaps you’re familiar with Christ’s promise in John 14: “In my Father’s house are many mansions… I go to prepare a place for you” (v. “In my Father’s house are many mansions… I go to prepare a place for you.” - John 14:2
