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.

TEXTBOUNDARYhigh confidence
Does the adulteress passage begin at John 7:53?
The disputed account forms an alternative narrative bridge: the council scene disperses to individual homes, Jesus goes to the Mount of Olives, and he returns to teach before the accusation is brought.
Why this default
The earliest recoverable text ends at 7:52. The passage remains selectable as ancient tradition, but its absence from early witnesses and unstable location make its secondary placement here highly probable.
Evidence
ExternalAbsent from P66, P75, א, B, L, N, T, W and other early witnesses; later manuscripts place it here or after John 7:36, 7:44, 21:25, or Luke 21:38.
InternalIts vocabulary and style differ from the surrounding Johannine narrative, and its movement within the tradition signals a floating account.
