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.ac10RepeatedInstruction

παρὰ θάλασσαν / ... ὃς παραγενόμενος λαλήσει σοι

TEXThigh confidence

Does Cornelius repeat the promise that Peter will speak to him?

The earlier account again ends with the location of Simon’s house; later witnesses add an anticipatory promise about Peter’s arrival and speech.

Why this default

The omission is default because it avoids duplicating information the narrative soon supplies through Peter’s arrival and speech; the expanded choices keep the later anticipatory wording visible.

Evidence

ExternalThe shorter wording is supported by P74, א, A, B, C and E; the added promise is widespread in the later Byzantine tradition.

InternalThe addition resolves what Cornelius should expect from Peter and parallels the expansion already found in verse 6.

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.
