Papyrus 106

From Textus Receptus

Papyrus 106 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by ¹⁰⁶, 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

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type (rather proto-Alexandrian). It is familiar to Papyrus 66, Papyrus 75, Codex Sinaiticus, and Vaticanus.

In John 1:34 reads ὁ ἐκλεκτός together with the manuscripts ⁵, א, b, e, ff², syr^{c, 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.
