SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
him manifest
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'visible one' is not contextually accurate; 'phaneron' here describes the subject (Jesus) being made manifest or visible (public). Thus, 'manifest' better aligns with the context and SILEX's broader semantic range. |
