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.

TEXTGRAMMARTRANSLATIONmoderate confidence
Does Jesus say where all gather, or where they always gather?
The textual fork changes Jesus’s description of his public audience: either all Judeans gathered to hear or he taught publicly at all times.
Why this default
‘All’ is default because it has strong early and geographically broad support. ‘Always’ is an intelligible smoothing that shifts emphasis from the gathered people to Jesus’s habitual venue.
Evidence
ExternalAll: א, A, B, C*, L, N, W and early versions; always: C³, D, E, 047, 054 and later tradition.
InternalThe similar-looking words invited substitution; ‘always’ also harmonizes with Jesus’s opening claim that he has always spoken openly.

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.
