Papyrus 122 (named after Gregory-Aland with Sigel ¹²² ) is an early Greek copy of the New Testament . These are fragments of a papyrus manuscript from the Gospel of John . ${\ displaystyle {\ mathfrak {P}}}$

description

To this day, only two fragments of a leaf have survived. The remaining text by John includes parts of verses 21: 11-14 and 22-24. It was dated to the 4th or 5th century by means of paleography . The manuscript is written very irregularly.

The text contains noun sacra . The name Ιησους (Jesus) is abbreviated as ΙΗΣ (most manuscripts use the abbreviation ΙΣ ). The number “one hundred and fifty- three ” is abbreviated as ΡΝΓ .

The Greek text probably represents the Alexandrian text type .

text

In John 21:14 the word Ιησους (Jesus) is omitted, as in the Codex Washingtonianus , but the rest of the manuscript contains the word, mostly in conjunction with an article (ο Ιησους).

Ανεβη ουν Σιμων Πε τρος και ειλ	¹¹ Simon Peter went on board and
κυσεν το δικτυον ε ις τ ην γην μεσ	pulled the net ashore, full
τον ιχθυων μεγαλω ν ΡΝΓ κ αι το	big fish, one hundred and fifty-three of them. And
σουτων οντων ουκ ε σχισθη τ ο δικ	even though there were so many, the network never became
τυον λεγει αυτοις ο Ι ΗΣ δευτε αριστη	torn. ¹² Jesus said to them, “Come here and
σατε ουδεις δε ετολμ α των μ αθητων ε	breakfast. ”None of the disciples had the courage
ξετασαι αυτων Συ τις ει ειδοτε ς οτι	to ask him: "Who are you?" because they knew
ο ΚΣ εστιν ερχετ αι ΙΗΣ και λαμ	that it was the Lord. ¹³ Jesus came and took
βανει τον αρτον κα ι διδωσιν αυτοις	the bread and gave it to them
και το οψαριον ομοι ως τουτο ηδη	and also the fish. ¹⁴ That was now
τριτον εφανερωθη τοις μ αθηταις	the third time [Jesus] appeared to the disciples,
εγερθεις εκ νεκρων	after he was raised from the dead.
