New page

'''Papyrus 5''' (in the [[Biblical manuscript#Gregory-Aland|Gregory-Aland]] numbering), designated by <math>\mathfrak{P}</math>5, is an early copy of the New Testament in [[Greek language|Greek]]. It is a [[papyrus]] [[manuscript]] of the [[Gospel of John]] dating [[Palaeography|palaeographically]] to the early 3rd century.<ref name = Comfort>Philip W. Comfort and David P. Barrett. ''The Text of the Earliest New Testament Greek Manuscripts''. Wheaton, Illinois: Tyndale House Publishers Incorporated, 2001, p. 73. </ref>

Textually it is very close to [[Codex Sinaiticus]], but with some exceptions.

== Description ==

The manuscript is a fragment of three leaves, written in one column per page, 27 lines per page.<ref name = Comfort/> The surviving text of John are verses 1:23-31.33-40; 16:14-30; 20:11-17.19-20.22-25.<ref name = Comfort/>

It was written in a documentary hand, in a round, upright uncial of medium size. It uses the [[nomina sacra]] with abbreviations (ΙΗΝ ΙΗΣ ΠΡ ΠΡΑ ΠΡΣ ΘΥ), though not for ανθρωπος.<ref name = Head> Peter M. Head, [http://www.bsw.org/project/biblica/bibl85/Ani12.html ''The Habits of New Testament Copyists Singular Readings in the Early Fragmentary Papyri of John''], Biblica 85 (2004), 404.</ref>

There is a tendency to brevity, especially in omitting unnecessary pronouns and conjunctions.<ref>[[Bernard Pyne Grenfell|B. P. Grenfell]] & [[Arthur Surridge Hunt|A. S. Hunt]], ''Oxyrhynchus Papyri II'', (London, 1899).</ref>

== Textual character ==

In John 1:34 it reads ὁ ἐκλεκτός together with the manuscripts [[Papyrus 106|<math>\mathfrak{P}</math>106]], א, [[Codex Veronensis|b]], [[Codex Laudianus|e]], [[Codex Corbeiensis II|ff2]], syrc, s.

In John 16:17 at line 7 of the recto of the second fragment there appears to be extra space which would require some additional material.<ref name = Head2> Peter M. Head, ''The Habits of New Testament Copyists Singular Readings in the Early Fragmentary Papyri of John'', Biblica 85 (2004), 405.</ref>

In John 16:20 λυπηθησεσθε reads λουπηθησεσθε, in 16:21 λυπην reads λοιπην. In 16:27 singularly omits εγω, in 20:19 the scribe omitted και.<ref name = Head/>

At line 19 of the third folio of the recto (John 20:16) the missing fragment is difficult for a reconstruction. Grenfell & Hunt remarked that there is no space for the ordinary reading ο λεγεται διδασκαλε because a line should have 34 letters, which is too long. Grenfell & Hunt rejected another possible reading κε διδασκαλε, which is found in [[Codex Bezae]] (possible conflation), and proposed κε alone, because ''Domine'' is found in [[Codex Vercellensis]] and in [[Codex Usserianus I]],<ref>B. P. Grenfell & A. S. Hunt, ''Oxyrhynchus Papyri II'', (London, 1899), p. 7. </ref> but in the recostructed text of the manuscript they did not decide to include this proposed variant to the text:
: αρω [λεγει αυτη ιης μαριαμ στραφει
: [σα εκεινη λεγει αυτω εβραιστι ραβ
: β[ουνι . . . . . . . . . . . λεγει αυτη ιης<ref>B. P. Grenfell & A. S. Hunt, ''Oxyrhynchus Papyri II'', (London, 1899), p. 5. </ref>

All the editors agree that the space is insufficient for ο λεγεται διδασκαλε (John 20,16) but κε alone is too short and it is not supported by any Greek manuscript. Elliott & Parker have suggested ο λεγεται κε.<ref>Elliott & Parker, ''The New Testament in Greek IV. The Gospel according to St. John'', volume 1, ''The Papyri'' (Leiden: Brill, 1995), 34. </ref> It was supported by Peter Head.<ref name = Head2/> Comfort proposed κε μου though this reading is not supported by any known Greek manuscript.<ref name = Comfort77/> It is close for κε διδασκαλε of [[Codex Bezae]] and Old-Latin Magister Domine or Domine.<ref>UBS3, p. 410. </ref>

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the [[Western text-type]]. [[Kurt Aland|Aland]] ascribed it as a "Normal text", and placed it in [[Categories of New Testament manuscripts#Category I|Category I]].<ref name = Aland>Kurt Aland, and Barbara Aland, ''The Text of the New Testament: An Introduction to the Critical Editions and to the Theory and Practice of Modern Textual Criticism'', transl. Erroll F. Rhodes, ''[[William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company]]'', Grand Rapids, Michigan, 1995, p. 96. </ref> It stays in close agreement with [[Codex Sinaiticus]] against [[Codex Vaticanus]] (e.g. John 1:27.34; 16:22.27.28; 20:25).<ref name = Comfort/> "This agreement is unfortunatelly obscured by mutilation".<ref>B. P. Grenfell & A. S. Hunt, ''Oxyrhynchus Papyri II'', (London, 1899), p. 2. </ref>

== History ==
The manuscript was discovered at the end of the 19th century by Grenfell and Hunt in [[Oxyrhynchus]], [[Egypt]]. The first and third leaves were published in ''Oxyrhynchus Papyri'', Part II (1899), no. 208. [[Caspar René Gregory|Gregory]] classified it under number 5 on his list.<ref>C. R. Gregory, ''Textkritik des Neuen Testaments'' III (Leipzig: 1909), p. 1085. </ref>
The second leaf (John 16:14-30) was published in 1922 as Oxyrhynchus no. 1781.<ref>Frederic G. Kenyon, "Handbook to the Textual Criticism of the New Testament", London2, 1912, p. 42.</ref>

It is currently housed at the [[British Library]] (Inv. nos. 782, 2484) in [[London]].<ref name = Aland/>
