Papyrus 109


Papyrus 109 is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of John, containing verses 21:18-20 & 21:23-25 in a fragmentary condition. It is designated by the siglum in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts. Using the study of comparative writing styles, it has been assigned by the INTF to the early 3rd century CE. Papyrologist Philip Comfort dates the manuscript to the middle-late 2nd century CE. The manuscript is currently housed at the Papyrology Rooms of the Sackler Library at Oxford.

Description

The original manuscript probably measured 12 cm x 24 cm, with 26 lines per page. The handwriting script is representative of the Reformed Documentary style. The text is too small to determine its textual character.
