	BISHOPS Bishops' Bible of 1568	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
22	Iesus sayth vnto hym: If I wyll haue hym to tary tyll I come, what is that to thee? folowe thou me.	Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!”	Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.”
23	Then went this saying abrode among the brethren, that that disciple shoulde not dye: Yet Iesus sayde not to hym, he shall not dye: but, yf I wyll that he tary tyll I come, what is that to thee?	So the saying spread abroad among the brothers that this disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?”	Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”
24	The same disciple is he, which testifieth of these thynges, and wrote these thynges: And we knowe that his testimonie is true.	This is the disciple who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true.	This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.
25	There are also many other thynges, whiche Iesus dyd, the which, yf they shoulde be written euery one, I suppose the world could not conteine the bookes that shoulde be written.	Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.	Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
