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.

καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ... τοὺς πόδας
TEXTTRANSLATIONhigh confidence
Does verse 40 say Jesus showed them his hands and feet?
The sentence is absent from D and some Old Latin witnesses but present in P75, the major Alexandrian witnesses, and the broad tradition.
Why this default
Jesus showing his hands and feet is included because P75 and leading early witnesses strongly outweigh the Western omission.
Evidence
ExternalInclusion: P75, א, A, B, C, W, Θ, Ψ and Byzantine witnesses; omission: D and some Old Latin witnesses.
InternalThe line naturally follows Jesus' invitation to inspect him and could be omitted in a shorter Western form, though harmonization with John is possible.
Project defaultAfter saying this, he showed them his hands and feet.

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.
