chapter-level decision records generated from the live translation registry
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 16
john.16.doToYou16
ταῦτα ποιήσουσιν / ταῦτα ποιήσουσιν ὑμῖν
Does verse 3 explicitly say these things will be done ‘to you’?
The pronoun is absent from P66 and several major witnesses but present in another ancient stream. English context can supply it even when Greek does not.
Why this default
The pronoun is omitted by default because the shorter wording has very early and broad support; ‘to you’ is an obvious contextual clarification.
Evidence
ExternalOmit: P66, A, B, E, 047, 0233; include ‘to you’: א, D, L and several ancient versions.
InternalThe audience is already explicit from context, making addition for clarity more likely than deliberate 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.
