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.

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.
Translation record
Acts 13
acts.13.ac13GatheredWord
τὸν λόγον τοῦ κυρίου / θεοῦ
Whose word did the city gather to hear?
The witnesses divide substantially between ‘the word of the Lord’ and ‘the word of God.’
Why this default
The default follows the early ‘word of the Lord’ reading; ‘word of God’ has broad and important support, including Vaticanus at its first hand.
Evidence
External‘Lord’ is supported by P74, א, A, B², 33, 81, 181, 945 and versions; ‘God’ by B*, C, E, L, P, Ψ and the Byzantine tradition.
InternalBoth formulas are frequent in Acts and nearby verses alternate between them, making assimilation possible in either direction.

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.
