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.

TEXTTRANSLATIONmoderate confidence
Whose leaven does Jesus warn about?
The principal readings name Herod personally or the Herodians as a group. The difference shifts the warning’s political focus without changing the leaven image.
Why this default
Herod is the working default because it has strong early support and creates the more concrete personal parallel with the Pharisees. The Herodians reading remains ancient and meaningful.
Evidence
ExternalHerod: P45vid, א, B, L and broad support; Herodians: W, Θ, family 13 and a substantial later stream.
InternalThe familiar Markan pairing ‘Pharisees and Herodians’ could prompt replacement of the singular ruler with the political group.

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.
