"I bring you good news of great joy!"
Well, it is not as good as THAT news of course (Luke 2.10-11); but I thought you might like to know just the same.
The most recent volume of The Oxyrhynchus Papyri LXXI (2007) contains four new papyrus fragments of John's Gospel (edited by J. Chapa), although I haven't actually seen the published volume yet (thanks to Peter Rodgers for drawing my attention to these). The basic details are as follows:
P. Oxy 4803 (III) John 1.21-8, 38-44 [P119]
P.Oxy 4804 (IV) John 1.25-8, 33-8, 42-4 [P120]
P.Oxy 4805 (III) John 19.17-8, 25-6 [P121]
P.Oxy 4806 (IV or V?) John 21.11-14, 22-4 [P122]
Images are available on-line here. Two of these we are already discussing in previous posts.

Will these be P119-P122 now?
ReplyDeleteAccording to the intro to the fragments in the Oxy volume (page 1), yes, those are the numbers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eric,
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the published volume yet.
I'll add this to the blog.
