Papyrus 95 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by siglum 𝔓, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of John. The surviving texts of John are verses 5:26-29,36-38. The manuscript palaeographically has been assigned to the early 3rd century.

The writing is in 35 lines per page.

Text

The Greek text of this manuscript is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type, Comfort ascribed it as proto-Alexandrian, though the extant portion is too fragmentary for certainty. It has not yet been placed in any of the Categories of New Testament manuscripts.

Location

The manuscript is currently housed at the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana (PL II/31) at Florence.

Textual variants

  • 5:27 Word-spacing analysis indicates that 10-14 letters intruded between the first two words of the verse
  • 5:28: ακουσουσιν (akousousin, 'shall hear' (future tense)) becomes ακουσαντες (akousantes, 'have heard' (aorist aspect, participle)).
  • 5:36: omits second 'αυτα' (auta, these) through possible homoeoteleuton.

Nomina Sacra

The fragment should have the word πατήρ contracted (nomina sacra) in two places, but instead, lacuane.
