Papyrus 24 (after Gregory-Aland with Sigel 24 refers) is an early Greek copy of the New Testament . This papyrus manuscript of the Revelation of John only contains verses 5.5-8 and 6.5-8. It was dated to the early 4th century using paleography .

It is the oldest known manuscript with the text of Revelation 5-6.

The Greek text of the Codex represents the Alexandrian text type (or rather a Proto-Alexandrian). Aland placed it in Category I a. The text of the manuscript corresponds to the Codex Alexandrinus , but the remaining fragment is too small to determine its context as a whole.

The manuscript is currently in the Franklin Trask Library Andover Newton Theological School (OP 1230) in Newton, Massachusetts .
