The evidence beneath the English

Every consequential choice
leaves a record.

The published library was developed through direct Greek analysis, lexical work, and manuscript comparison. Where surviving witnesses materially disagree, the competing Greek readings and their effect on English remain open to the reader.

standardized inspectable Greek reference edition

Textual basis

SBL Greek New Testament

Edited by Michael W. Holmes. The project's standardized, publicly inspectable Greek reference edition. It is not presented as retroactive proof that every existing chapter originated from one uniform printed edition.

This is an honest reference claim, not a retroactive claim that all completed work began from one uniform printed edition. Material manuscript forks remain independently documented at the reading they affect.

acts.10.ac10EnteredCaesarea

εἰσῆλθεν / εἰσῆλθον

TEXTGRAMMARhigh confidence

Does Peter enter Caesarea, or does the whole group enter?

The singular keeps Peter as the grammatical subject; the later plural explicitly carries his companions into the action.

Why this default

The singular is default because it has the principal early support and maintains Peter as the narrative focus at the moment Cornelius receives him; the plural is an understandable expansion to include his companions.

Evidence

ExternalThe singular is supported by P74, א, A, B, C and E; the plural is the dominant later Byzantine reading.

InternalBecause several companions are present, changing a singular verb to plural is an easy grammatical clarification.

Record integrity

One registry drives both the reader and this record.

The manifest is regenerated from the translation source before every production build. Its source digest is 7c4cbee907fbc0e84976d6e78a615134e2288f8197ce8abcf67b0452155ddc84.

Decision-level revision history begins with this ledger. Earlier development is not reconstructed into false precision; future material changes can be appended to the relevant record with their reason and date.
