DWThe Direct WitnessAccount

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.

standardized inspectable Greek reference edition

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.

προάγει ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν

LEXICONTRANSLATIONhigh confidence

What will Jesus do in relation to Galilee?

Proagō means go ahead or lead forward. Jesus precedes the disciples to the appointed meeting place.

Why this default

‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee’ is default because proagō preserves the spatial relation and movement. ‘Goes before you’ follows Greek shape, while ‘will meet you’ gives the result.

Evidence

ExternalNo separate external-evidence note is recorded for this stable-text decision.

Record integrity

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.
