Yep.
And just so it's clear. I have in front of me right now a NA27 (Nestle Aland 27th edition of the Greek NT, with critical apparatus). I have a UBS 1953 and a UBS 1985 at home (United Bible Society Greek NT with critical apparatus).
I have access to every single variant we know of. Right at my fingertips I can tell you whether manuscript __ spells Jerusalem correctly at such and such place.
And even the variants we know of (a variant is any place that differs in the text, a single letter difference, word order, etc) that both effect the meaning of the text and are viable (possibly original), the top scholars in the world are only arguing about ~100 of them.
So I can say pretty certainly that we know what the text says.
