The evidence beneath the English
Every consequential choice
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
John 12
john.12.lifted12
ἐὰν ὑψωθῶ… πάντας / πάντα ἑλκύσω
What will the lifted one draw to himself?
Jesus interprets the lifting as the manner of his death, while the object variant changes whether its drawing effect embraces people specifically or creation more broadly.
Why this default
The masculine ‘everyone/all people’ is default because it has broad early support. P66 and Sinaiticus first hand preserve the neuter ‘all things,’ a meaningful ancient alternative.
Evidence
ExternalMasculine πάντας: P75vid, א², A, B, L, W and broad tradition; neuter πάντα: P66 and א*; Bezae reorders the neuter phrase.
InternalThe forms differ by one letter. Either generalization to all things or personalization to all people is possible.

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.
