- Noteshared wording: 8 words in a row identical to Berean Standard Bible: «it is one of the twelve the one» (public domain — allowed).
- Notecompared with BSB: The Greek text has «ἐμβαπτόμενος» (dipping) which is a present participle, referring to the one who dips bread with Jesus. The BSB translates this as «dipping his hand into the bowl,» adding «his hand» which is not in the Greek. The draft has «the one dipping with me into the bowl,» which is closer to the Greek. However, the phrase structure «ὁ ἐμβαπτόμενος μετ' ἐμοῦ εἰς τὸ τρύβλιον» literally means «the one dipping with me into the dish/bowl,» and could refer to dipping bread rather than a hand. Both translations are defensible, but they represent slightly different understandings of what is being dipped.

BSB: While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it; this is My body.”
- Notecompared with BSB: The BSB adds «Jesus» (not in the Greek) and «the disciples» (not in the Greek). The draft simply says «he» and «them,» which is more literally faithful to the original. The BSB's additions are interpretive expansions for clarity.
- Notecompared with BSB: The draft translates εὐλογήσας as «blessed it» while the BSB has «spoke a blessing.» Both renderings are valid; the Greek participle can mean either «having blessed (it)» or «having spoken a blessing.»

BSB: Then some of them began to spit on Him. They blindfolded Him, struck Him with their fists, and said to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in His face.
- Checkcompared with BSB · on an earlier version: The phrase «received him with slaps» is ambiguous. The Greek ῥαπίσμασιν αὐτὸν ἔλαβον literally means «received/struck him with slaps/blows.» The draft's wording could be misunderstood as the officers receiving Jesus (as in welcoming him) rather than striking him. A clearer rendering would be «struck him with slaps» or «beat him with blows.»
