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.

How will Jesus make himself known?
Emphanizō can mean reveal, manifest, make visible, or make known. The reflexive phrase is direct: ‘I will reveal myself to him.’
Why this default
‘I will reveal myself to him’ is default because it renders emphanisō with direct modern English while retaining the emphatic reflexive emauton, ‘myself.’ ‘Manifest’ follows the Greek-root tradition, and ‘make myself known’ interprets the revelation as recognition.

Record integrity
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.
