I suggest you may want to read "The Text of the New Testament, Its
Transmission, Corruption, and Restoration" by Bruce M. Metzger.  That
book will help you understand why you will not be able to find exactly
what you are looking for.  However, you will understand what has been
done (and what is being done) to try to determine the wording of the
original documents.  I am impressed with the progress that has been
made, and I think you will be favorably impressed also.
