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.

Mark 6
mark.6.m6Daughter
τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἡρῳδιάδος / τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτῆς
Whose daughter dances—and is she herself named Herodias?
The difficult early wording can call the girl ‘his daughter Herodias.’ A widespread reading identifies her instead as Herodias’s daughter.
Why this default
The difficult ‘his daughter Herodias’ is the working default because of strong early support, but the family relationships are historically and grammatically difficult enough that the alternative remains fully open.
Evidence
ExternalHis daughter Herodias: א, B, D, L, Δ; her daughter/the daughter of Herodias: A, C, W, Θ and broad later support.
InternalCopyists had a strong motive to clarify the girl as Herodias’s daughter and remove the apparent naming or parentage problem.

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.
