CONTEXT

Why it is fascinating

Its tiny size is exactly what makes it interesting. It shows that some Bible manuscripts survive only as small pieces, not complete books.

TEXT COMPARISON

Have we compared the wording?

Not yet. We will only list differences after the manuscript text has been checked line by line.
