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.22.lk22LongForm

τὸ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ... ἐκχυννόμενον

TEXTTRANSLATIONmoderate confidence

Does Luke include the longer bread-and-cup wording in verses 19b–20?

A prominent Western textual tradition omits the latter part of verse 19 and all of verse 20, while early Alexandrian and broad later witnesses preserve the longer form.

Why this default

The longer supper wording is default because P75, major Alexandrian codices, and the broad Greek tradition provide early diverse support beyond the narrower Western omission.

Evidence

ExternalLong form: P75, א, A, B, C, W, Θ, Ψ, family 13 and Byzantine witnesses; short form: D and important Old Latin witnesses, with related Western rearrangements.

InternalOmission can be explained by Western liturgical or harmonizing pressures, while expansion from 1 Corinthians 11 is also possible; the early, diverse support for the long form tips the decision.

Project defaultThis is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me. Likewise, after supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.’

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.
