Joseph Smith—Matthew 1:22 · Matthew 24:24
This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
The false-Christs-deceiving-the-elect saying, near-verbatim, with the flagged substantive addition: JS—M appends 'who are the elect according to the covenant' (1:22), where Matthew 24:24 closes at 'the very elect.' Minor variants: 'if possible' (JS—M) vs 'if it were possible' (Matthew); 'show' vs 'shew'. The qualifier 'according to the covenant' stands twice in the chapter (JS—M 1:20, 1:22, verified by a search of the corpus), and 'mine elect' — no Matthew counterpart — recurs at 1:27, 1:29, 1:39. Additions reported as textual fact, not scored; origin out of scope. asserted_by wiki.
