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.

ᾗ ἔδει θύεσθαι τὸ πάσχα
TRANSLATIONmoderate confidence
What had to happen on the day of Unleavened Bread?
Dei expresses necessity, while the passive thyein refers to sacrificing the Passover victim. The phrase situates the preparation in the festival’s required act.
Why this default
The default supplies “lamb” for clear English while keeping the day as the clause’s anchor; the alternatives recast the line around either the sacrifice or abstract necessity.
Evidence

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.
