Papyrus 75 (\mathfrak{P}75, Papyrus Bodmer XIV-XV) is an early Greek New Testament papyrus.

Description

Originally '[it] contained about 144 pages ... of which 102 have survived, either in whole or in part.'[1] It 'contains about half the text of ... two Gospels'[2] – Luke (Papyrus Bodmer XIV) and John (Papyrus Bodmer XV) in Greek. It is dated in Nestle-Aland (27th edition, NA27) as being an early third century manuscript. It is one of the earliest manuscripts (along with \mathfrak{P}4)[3] of the Gospel of Luke. 'The surviving fragment contains Luke 3:18-24:53 ...'[3][4] An unusual feature of this codex is that when the Gospel of Luke ends, the Gospel of John begins on the same page.[5]

It lacks text of Christ's agony at Gethsemane (Luke 22:43–44)[6] and Pericope Adulterae.

It uses a staurogram in Luke 14:27.

Text

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Kurt Aland placed it in Category I.[7] The text is closer to Codex Vaticanus than to Codex Sinaiticus. Agreement between \mathfrak{P}75 and codex B is 92% in John,[8] and 94% in Luke.[9] It concurs with \mathfrak{P}111.[10]

According to Kurt Aland, \mathfrak{P}75 is the key for understanding the primitive textual history of New Testament.[11]

In Luke 8:21 it reads αυτον instead of αυτους; the reading is supported by Minuscule 705 and Codex Veronensis.[12]

Textual variants

In Luke 11:4, the phrase αλλα ρυσαι ημας απο του πονηρου (but deliver us from evil) is omitted. The omission of this phrase is also supported by the following manuscripts: Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, Codex Regius, f1, 700, vg, syrs, copsa, bo, arm, geo.[13]

In Luke 16:19 the manuscript reads Ανθρωπος δε τις ην πλουσιος, ονοματι Ν[ιν]ευης, και ενεδιδυσκετο "There was a rich man, with the name N[in]eue, who clothed himself",[14] This reading has support from the Sahidic version and the two Greek minuscule manuscripts 36 and 37, in addition to a scholion of uncertain date have ευρον δε τινες και του πλουσιου εν τισιν αντιγραφοις τουνομα Νινευης λεγομενον.[15]

Luke 22:43-44 is omitted, as in codices א*, A, B, T, 1071.[16]

In Luke 23:34, \mathfrak{P}75 has omitted the words: "And Jesus said: Father forgive them, they know not what they do." This omission is supported by the manuscripts Sinaiticusa, B, D*, W, Θ, 0124, 1241, ita, d, syrs, copsa, copbo.[17]

Luke 24:26

δοξαν – majority of mss
βασιλειαν – \mathfrak{P}75[18]

John 10:7

η θυρα (door) – majority
ο ποιμην (shepherd) – \mathfrak{P}75 copsa copac[19]

The manuscript also lacks the Pericope of the Adulteress, usually placed in Translations at John 7:53-8:11. This omission is supported by the manuscripts Codex Sinaiticus, Codex Vaticanus and \mathfrak{P}66.

The manuscript is currently housed at the Vatican Library (P. Bodmer XIV-XV) at Rome.[20]

The discovery of \mathfrak{P}75 has had a profound effect on New Testament textual criticism, due to its great agreement with Codex Vaticanus.
