Papyrus 70 is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of Matthew. It is designated by the siglum Template:Papyrus in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts. The surviving texts of Matthew are verses 2:13-16; 2:22-3:1; 11:26-27; 12:4-5; 24:3-6.12-15. 𝔓70 has a fairly reliable text, though it was carelessly written. The manuscript palaeographically had been assigned to the late 3rd century.[1]

Text
