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.

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
Mark 10
mark.10.m10Rise
μετὰ τρεῖς ἡμέρας ἀναστήσεται / τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ
Will he rise ‘after three days’ or ‘on the third day’?
Mark’s characteristic ‘after three days’ has strong early support; the alternative harmonizes the phrasing with a more familiar resurrection formula.
Why this default
‘After three days’ is default because it is strongly early and matches Mark’s characteristic passion predictions. ‘On the third day’ is an ancient harmonization to the widespread confessional formula.
Evidence
ExternalAfter three days: א, B, C*, D, L and Δ; on the third day: A, C², W, Θ and later witnesses.
InternalParallel Gospel and creedal wording gives a clear motive for replacing Mark’s less familiar temporal expression.

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.
