   • Checkcompared with BSB: The Greek says «ὡς τετρακισχίλιοι» (about four thousand), but the draft says «about four thousand people» while the BSB says «about four thousand men were present.» The Greek masculine form likely refers to men specifically (as in counting male heads of households), not people generically. This is a subtle but potentially significant difference in meaning.

    • Notecompared with BSB: The draft says «they were discussing with one another that they had no bread» while BSB adds «the fact that.» The Greek «ὅτι» can introduce either direct or indirect discourse. The draft's construction is slightly ambiguous (could be read as if they were saying to each other «we have no bread» vs. discussing the fact/issue), but it is a defensible rendering of the Greek.
