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.

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.
Translation record
Luke 22
luke.22.lk22Release
ἀποκριθῆτε / μοι ἢ ἀπολύσητε
Does Jesus say they will neither answer nor release him?
The earliest form ends with 'you will not answer'; many later witnesses add 'me or release me,' making the judicial consequence explicit.
Why this default
The shorter “you will not answer” is default because the earliest Alexandrian evidence supports it and “me or release me” naturally clarifies the judicial consequence.
Evidence
Externalἀποκριθῆτε: P75, א, B and other early witnesses; μοι ἢ ἀπολύσητε: A, D, W, Θ, Ψ and Byzantine witnesses.
InternalThe longer reading smooths the abrupt statement and explicitly supplies the expected result, favoring the shorter reading as prior.

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.
