The evidence beneath the English
Every consequential choice
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.

John 11
john.11.seenThings11
ἃ ἐποίησεν / ὃ ἐποίησεν
Had the visitors seen ‘the things’ or ‘the thing’ Jesus did?
Early witnesses divide between plural and singular relative forms. English ‘what he did’ often conceals the manuscript fork entirely.
Why this default
The plural is the working default because it is broadly and early attested, but the singular also has first-rate early support and neither should be concealed beneath English ‘what.’
Evidence
ExternalPlural is supported by P6, P45, א and A*; singular by P66*, B, C* and D; later witnesses also name ‘the sign.’
InternalSingular and plural differ minimally in Greek and could be exchanged accidentally; ‘the sign’ is an explanatory clarification.

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.
