The evidence beneath the English

Every consequential choice
leaves a record.

John, Mark, Matthew, and Luke were 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.

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.

GRAMMARTRANSLATIONhigh confidence

What does Jesus’ look and love convey?

The narrative states love directly after an intent gaze; it does not specify pity, approval, or affection alone.

Why this default

‘Looking intently at him, loved him’ is default because it keeps Jesus’s deliberate gaze and love as two successive actions rather than merging them into an affectionate look. The text states love directly without specifying pity, approval, or another emotional subtype.

Evidence

ExternalNo separate external-evidence note is recorded for this stable-text decision.

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 450adc54c1fc782fbae5e9ed6a640a2ae0e3be080722ac134c84e1248c2a312a.

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.
