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.

Ὁ δὲ Πέτρος ... τὸ γεγονός

TEXTTRANSLATIONmoderate confidence

Does Luke include Peter's visit to the tomb in verse 12?

The whole verse is absent from the Western text but strongly supported by early Alexandrian and broad later witnesses; similarity to John 20 may explain either omission or harmonizing insertion.

Why this default

Peter’s tomb visit is included because P75 and broad early attestation support it, though Western omission and similarity to John justify moderate confidence.

Evidence

ExternalInclusion: P75, א, A, B, W, Θ, Ψ and Byzantine witnesses; omission: D and several Old Latin witnesses.

InternalThe verse can be viewed as harmonization to John 20:3–10, yet its distinct wording and early attestation support authenticity; Western abbreviation is also plausible.

Project defaultBut Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Bending down, he saw only the linen cloths, and he went away to himself, wondering at what had happened.

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.
