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.

TEXTGRAMMARmoderate confidence
For whom does Caiaphas say one death is expedient?
The earliest evidence divides between ‘for you’ and ‘for us.’ The difference shifts whether Caiaphas distances himself from the council or includes himself in its interest.
Why this default
‘For you’ is the working default on strong early evidence; ‘for us’ remains available because it is ancient and materially changes Caiaphas’s rhetorical stance.
Evidence
External‘For you’ is supported by P45, P66, B, D, L and others; ‘for us’ by A, K, W, Δ, Θ, Π, Ψ; Sinaiticus omits the pronoun.
InternalThe pronouns differ by a single letter and either assimilation to the audience or inclusion of the speaker is plausible.

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.
