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.

τῶν μικρῶν τούτων τῶν πιστευόντων [εἰς ἐμέ]
TEXTTRANSLATIONmoderate confidence
Does Jesus explicitly say the little ones trust ‘in me’ ?
The phrase ‘in me’ has strong support but is absent from an important early stream. ‘Little ones’ may include vulnerable disciples rather than only children.
Why this default
‘Who trust in me’ is retained because it has broad early support and anchors the little ones explicitly to Jesus; a shorter ancient stream omits the phrase.
Evidence
ExternalThe phrase is supported by א, B, C, L, W and Θ; omission is represented especially in D and some Old Latin witnesses.
InternalThe phrase could be lost by abbreviation or omitted as seemingly redundant, while expansion to clarify whose believers are meant is also possible.

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.
