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.

δόξασόν σου τὸ ὄνομα / μου / τὸν υἱόν
TEXTTRANSLATIONhigh confidence
What does Jesus ask the Father to glorify?
The broad tradition reads ‘your name.’ Vaticanus reads ‘my name’; another stream reads ‘your Son,’ and Bezae preserves a much longer harmonizing form.
Why this default
‘Your name’ is default because it has the earliest papyrus support and overwhelming breadth. The rival readings look like harmonizations to other Johannine prayers.
Evidence
External‘Your name’: P66, P75, א, A, W and broad tradition; ‘my name’: B; ‘your Son’: L, X and families 1/13; Bezae has an expanded form.
Internal‘Your Son’ resembles John 17:1 and Bezae’s expansion resembles John 17:5, making harmonization a strong explanation.

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.
