leaves a record.
John, Mark, Matthew, and Luke were 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.

καθὼς εἶπον ὑμῖν
TEXTTRANSLATIONmoderate confidence
Does verse 26 end ‘just as I said to you’?
The clause occurs in P66’s first hand and a wide later tradition, but is absent from P66’s correction, P75, Sinaiticus, and Vaticanus. It may be a natural explanatory addition.
Why this default
The shorter reading is default because it has strong early support and the added clause has no clear antecedent in the preceding discourse.
Evidence
ExternalAbsent from P66c, P75, א, B, K, L and W; present in P66*, A, D and much of the later tradition.
Internal‘Just as I said to you’ reads naturally as a clarifying expansion, while deliberate omission is also possible because the saying is difficult to locate.

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 450adc54c1fc782fbae5e9ed6a640a2ae0e3be080722ac134c84e1248c2a312a.
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.
