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.

οὐδὲ ὁ υἱός
TEXTTRANSLATIONhigh confidence
Does the saying include ‘nor the Son’?
The phrase is strongly supported in Mark and is the difficult reading; a later stream omits it, likely to avoid theological difficulty.
Why this default
Inclusion is default because it has strong early and diverse support and is the more difficult reading. Omission readily removes an apparent limitation on the Son’s knowledge.
Evidence
ExternalInclude: א, B, D, L, W, Δ and broad early versions; omit: A, C, K, Θ and much of the later tradition.
InternalTheological smoothing strongly explains omission; deliberate addition of the difficult phrase is less likely.

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.
