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.
Translation record
Matthew 10
matthew.10.mt10Thaddaeus
Θαδδαῖος / Λεββαῖος
Which name appears for the disciple after James?
The tradition preserves Thaddaeus, Lebbaeus, and conflated forms.
Why this default
Thaddaeus is default because it has strong early support. Lebbaeus and combined forms likely preserve alternate naming traditions or scribal efforts to reconcile them.
Evidence
ExternalThaddaeus: א, B, 17, 124 and important versions; Lebbaeus: D and Old Latin support; combined form: C, K, L, W, Θ, family 13 and Byzantine witnesses.
InternalConflation is clearly secondary, but choosing between the two short names remains difficult.

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.
