Papyrus 109 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by siglum ${\mathfrak {P}}$¹⁰⁹, is a copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of John, containing verses 21:18-20 & 21:23-25 in a fragmentary condition. The manuscript has been palaeographically assigned by the INTF to the early 3rd Century CE. Papyrologist Philip Comfort dates the manuscript to Middle-Late 2nd Century CE.^[1] The manuscript is currently housed at the Papyrology Rooms (P. Oxy. 4448) of the Sackler Library at Oxford.^[2]

Description

The original manuscript probably measured 12 cm x 24 cm, with 26 lines per page. The handwriting script is representative of the Reformed Documentary style.^[3] The text is too small to determine its textual character.^[1]
