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.

luke.19.lk19TenMinasVerse

καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ ... / omission

TEXTmoderate confidence

Does the bystanders’ objection appear in verse 25?

Most witnesses include the objection; an early Western stream omits the entire sentence.

Why this default

The objection is included by default because it has overwhelmingly broad support; the Western omission is still consequential enough to display.

Evidence

ExternalInclusion is overwhelmingly broad; omission has a coherent Western stream.

InternalThe verse could be omitted through narrative compression, while insertion from Matthew does not closely match the wording.

Project defaultThey said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’

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.
