The evidence beneath the English

Every consequential choice
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.

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.

mark.14.m14GalileanSpeech

καὶ ἡ λαλιά σου ὁμοιάζει

TEXTTRANSLATIONhigh confidence

Do the bystanders mention Peter’s manner of speech?

The speech clause is a later or secondary expansion in part of the tradition and is absent from the concise early text.

Why this default

The concise form without the speech clause is the working default because it is supported by א B C D L and other early witnesses; the longer form remains visible because it is broadly represented in the later tradition.

Evidence

ExternalMark 14:70: καὶ ἡ λαλιά σου ὁμοιάζει is omitted by א B C D L 1 700 1582 and the Vulgate; it is present in A E G K M S Y Ω 13 22 438 439 892, the Byzantine tradition, and the Peshitta. The shorter reading has the stronger early support.

InternalThe decision record relies on the stated lexical, grammatical, or translation rationale.

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.
