John 14:2

2In my Father’s house, there are many dwelling places. If there were not, I would have told you. For I go to prepare a place for you.
14:2Some translations render ‘mansiones’ as ‘mansions.’ But a translator should not always use the English word that most closely resembles the Latin word. In this case, ‘mansions’ is not accurate and ‘rooms’ can be used only metaphorically, so ‘dwelling places’ is a better fit, being more general and a more accurate rendering of ‘mansiones.’(Conte)
