Papyrus 106 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png106, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of John. The surviving texts of John are verses 1:29-35; 1:40-46, they are in a fragmentary condition. The manuscript paleographically has been assigned to the early 3rd century.[1]

Text

In John 1:34 reads ὁ ἐκλεκτός together with the manuscripts Image:C3945eee4633c095c5059f9a67aca5f7.png5, א, b, e, ff2, syrc, s. In John 1:41 ουτοι is omitted.[2]

Location

The manuscript is currently housed at the Papyrology Rooms of the Sackler Library at Oxford with the shelf number P. Oxy. 4445.
