Gospel Oxyrhynchus 1224; aka Oxyrhynchus Papyrus 1224


Date of composition

  • 50 - 150

Biography of Jesus?

  • It appears to tell the life of Jesus.

Type of Apocrypha (heretical or in error (made up))

  • Perhaps error.

Length

  • All we have are two small fragments with four incomplete sentences and numerous sentence fragments, with some of them being similar to Jesus' sayings in Matthew, Mark, and Luke.

Noteworthy from the book

  1. One incomplete sentence mentions Jesus appearing in a vision and another is part of an extended teaching on baptism, which is uncharacteristic of the Gospels.
