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.

ἀπεκατεστάθη ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ

TEXTTRANSLATIONhigh confidence

What happens to the man’s hand?

The verb means restore to its former condition. Some witnesses add that it became healthy like the other hand.

Why this default

The concise restoration statement is default because it has strong early support. The comparison with the other hand makes the result explicit and is a natural expansion.

Evidence

ExternalShorter: א, B, C, L, W and early versions; expanded ‘healthy like the other’: A, D and broad later support.

InternalThe expansion explains what restoration means and harmonizes the healed hand with the unaffected one.

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.
