The Gospels across their earliest witnesses, and the tradition they carried forward
Checks run on this verse’s loaded word streams against each tradition’s own pinned source. Differences between traditions are preserved. These checks never change source text or English wording. English placement, cross-source correspondence, and manuscript-image review remain separate.
