Description
If you want to be sure that your printed copy of the U.S. Constitution is perfectly accurate, you can compare yours with the original, hand-written document at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. However, when it comes to the New Testament (NT), all its original manuscripts (mss.) -- penned by Peter, Paul, and other apostles in the first century -- have disappeared.
Almost all copies made from these originals during the early centuries were worn out, destroyed in the Roman persecution, or lost. The earliest known copy of any part of the NT is Papyrus (P) 52. This 2.5 by 3.5 inch fragment is usually dated about A.D. 125 and contains John 18:31-33, 37-38.
In all there are over 5,000 mss. of the Greek (Gr.) NT which survive today. This is far greater then the number of mss. for any other ancient document.
