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.

Ἑώρακα / ἑώρακεν τὸν κύριον
TEXTBOUNDARYGRAMMARhigh confidence
Is Mary quoted directly or reported indirectly?
The first-person reading says ‘I have seen’; the third-person reading yields ‘that she had seen.’ The form changes the narrative voice.
Why this default
The first-person direct quotation is default because it has exceptionally early support. The third person turns the same report into indirect narration.
Evidence
ExternalI have seen: P66, א, B, N, W and early versions; she had seen: A, D, E, L and later tradition.
InternalThe nearby reporting particle can introduce either direct or indirect speech, making assimilation in either direction possible; the papyrus support favors direct quotation.

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.
