Papyrus 77 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by 𝔓77, is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of Matthew verses 23:30-39. It is written in Greek and has palaeographically been assigned a date anywhere from the middle 2nd century to the early 3rd century.[1]
According to Comfort, Papyrus 77 together with Papyrus 103 probably belong to the same codex.[2]
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Aland ascribed it as an “at least normal text”, and placed it in Category I.[3] 𝔓77 has the closest affinity with Codex Sinaiticus.[2]
It is currently housed at the Sackler Library (P. Oxy. 2683) in Oxford.[3][4]
Textual Variants

- 23:37: Has variant spelling ορνιξ for ορνις (hen).

- 23:38: According to the transcription from the University of Münster Institute for New Testament Textual Research, the scribe omitted ερημος (desolate).[5] According to the transcription of Philip Comfort and David Barrett however, the scribe included it.[6]
