Papyrus 122 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by 𝔓122, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of John.
Description
[edit]Only two pieces from one leaf have survived to the present day. The surviving texts of John are verses 21:11-14,22-24, they are in a fragmentary condition. The manuscript paleographically had been assigned to the 4th or 5th century (INTF).[1] It was written by irregular hand.
It uses nomina sacra. Name Ιησους (Jesus) is abbreviated to ΙΗΣ (majority of manuscripts used abbreviation ΙΣ). The number "one hundred and fifty-three" is written in Greek numerals — ΡΝΓ.
The Greek text of this codex probably is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type.
Text
[edit]In John 21:14 omitted word Ιησους (Jesus), just like in Codex Washingtonianus,[2] rest of the manuscripts contain this word, usually with an article (ο Ιησους).[3]

Translation
|
| Ανεβη ουν Σιμων Πετρος και ειλ | So Simon Peter went aboard and |
| κυσεν το δικτυον εις την γην μεσ | hauled the net ashore, full |
| τον ιχθυων μεγαλων ΡΝΓ και το | of large fish, a 153 of them; and |
| σουτων οντων ουκ εσχισθη το δικ | although there were so many, the net was not |
| τυον λεγει αυτοις ο ΙΗΣ δευτε αριστη | torn. Jesus said to them, “Come and have |
| σατε ουδεις δε ετολμα των μαθητων ε | breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared |
| ξετασαι αυτων Συ τις ει ειδοτες οτι | ask him, “Who are you?” They knew |
| ο ΚΣ εστιν ερχεται ΙΗΣ και λαμ | it was the Lord. Jesus came and took |
| βανει τον αρτον και διδωσιν αυτοις | the bread and gave it to them, |
| και το οψαριον ομοιως τουτο ηδη | and so with the fish. This was now |
| τριτον εφανερωθη τοις μαθηταις | the third time that He was revealed to the disciples |
| εγερθεις εκ νεκρων | after He was raised from the dead. |
In red colour missing letters.
