The evidence beneath the English
Every consequential choice
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.

εὐλογημένη σὺ ἐν γυναιξίν
TEXTmoderate confidence
Does Gabriel's greeting include ‘blessed are you among women’?
The SBL apparatus reports the shorter greeting in WH and NA28 and the expansion in Tregelles and the Robinson-Pierpont text.
Why this default
The shorter greeting is the more difficult and less harmonized form; the longer wording likely entered from Elizabeth's blessing in verse 42.
Evidence
ExternalThe SBLGNT apparatus aligns the shorter form with WH and NA28 and the expansion with Tregelles and Robinson-Pierpont.
InternalThe expansion exactly anticipates language spoken later in the same chapter, a natural source for scribal harmonization.

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 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.
