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.

john.12.poorVerse12
τοὺς πτωχοὺς… ἐμὲ δὲ
TEXTBOUNDARYhigh confidence
How much of verse 8 belongs in the text?
The full form contrasts continuing access to the poor with Jesus’ approaching absence, closing his defense of Mary’s burial-oriented act.
Why this default
The full verse is default because it is supported by early witnesses from multiple textual streams. P75’s shorter form is best explained by an eye-skip between repeated ‘have’ forms.
Evidence
ExternalFull verse: P66, א, A, B, K, L, W and broad tradition; shorter: P75, Λ* and 892 supplement first hand; omitted: D and Sinaitic Syriac.
InternalThe repeated ‘you have’ provides a direct mechanism for accidental loss of the middle and final words.
Project defaultThe poor you always have with you, but me you do not always have

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.
