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.
Translation record
John 14
john.14.wayText14
οἴδατε τὴν ὁδόν / οἴδατε καὶ τὴν ὁδὸν οἴδατε
How much does Jesus say the disciples know?
The shorter early text says they know the way to where he is going. A widespread expanded form repeats ‘you know,’ making both destination and way explicit.
Why this default
The shorter reading is default because it has strong early support and readily explains the repeated clarification found in the expanded form.
Evidence
ExternalShorter: P66 corrected, א, B, C*, L, Q, W; expanded: P66 first hand, A, D, E, N and broad later tradition.
InternalRepeating ‘you know’ clarifies the relationship between destination and way and is easier to explain as expansion than coordinated omission.

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.
