Provenance and verification note

Confidence note. Read in the Watchtower Online Library text of the article on 19 September 2026 in the [Footnotes] section. The Online Library prints all footnotes together at the end of the article, so the page is taken from the position of the footnote’s reference marker in the body: the marker for note c falls between the page markers for pages 23 and 24.
