The evidence beneath the English

Every consequential choice
leaves a record.

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.

standardized inspectable Greek reference edition

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.

What event will produce recognition?

The lifting up of the Son of Man is linked with future knowing.

Why this default

‘Whenever you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know’ preserves the Greek form most directly. ‘When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will recognize’ gives a natural equivalent, while ‘your elevation of the Son of Man will disclose who he is’ adds interpretive clarity.

Evidence

ExternalNo separate external-evidence note is recorded for this stable-text decision.

Record integrity

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.
