famous "Logia." or Sayings of Jesus and its
date has been placed by some experts AT $50 A. D..
and by the editors of the socety's publications at
fifty sixty years later. He added
This papyrus of ST. Matthew belongs to the same
class the famous Sinaitic and Vatican codices
and. OF course, is remarkable corroboration of
those texts and our accepted version. on an inn
portant doctrinal point il declares in common the
exact language: Joseph, thou son of David fear
not to take unto thee Mary. thy wife, for that
which is conceived IN her is of the Holy Ghost -
This papyrus is the oldest fragment of the Cos
pels. or. indeed of the New Testament
DR.. Winslow says also that valuable papyri of
Homer. Thucyddes and Euclid also are in the col
