D&C 111:11 · Matthew 10:16
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.
'wise as serpents' stands at exactly these two frozen verses. The divergence is the second half of the pairing: the gospel's counterweight is the harmlessness of doves, the revelation's is sinlessness. The gospel's sheep-among-wolves image has no counterpart in the revelation's verse.
