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.

ἡ ὥρα αὐτῶν… μνημονεύητε αὐτῶν
TEXTGRAMMARTRANSLATIONlow confidence
Whose hour and what memory does verse 4 preserve?
The tradition contains several combinations: ‘their hour’ and ‘remember them,’ either phrase alone, or neither. Repeated pronouns invited omission and rearrangement.
Why this default
The fullest form is the working default because it has early support and its repetition can explain the several shorter combinations. The transmission is too divided for high confidence.
Evidence
ExternalBoth pronouns: P66vid, א², A, B, 0233; ‘their hour’ only: א¹; ‘remember them’ only: א*, 047, 054; neither: D* and others.
InternalRepeated autōn forms are vulnerable to eye-skip, while copyists could also add pronouns to make both references explicit.

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.
