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.

TEXTGRAMMARTRANSLATIONmoderate confidence
Why did the disciples try to stop the other exorcist?
Witnesses vary between an imperfect ‘was not following us’ and present ‘does not follow us.’ The difference affects whether the complaint reports an occasion or an ongoing affiliation.
Why this default
The imperfect ‘was not following us’ is default because it portrays an observed pattern and has strong early support; the present form gives a more immediate reason.
Evidence
ExternalThe imperfect is represented by א, B, C, L, W and Δ; present-form support includes A, D, K, Θ and later witnesses.
InternalThe two forms are visually close and either could be normalized to the surrounding discourse.

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.
