Papyrus 96 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by 𝔓96, is a copy of the New Testament in Greek and Coptic. It is a diglot papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of Matthew. The surviving texts of Matthew are verses 3:10-12 (Coptic, Greek lost), 3:13-15 (Greek, Coptic lost). The manuscript paleographically has been assigned to the 6th century.

Text

Verso, Matt 3:10-12

The Greek text of this manuscript probably is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type, though the extant portion is too fragmentary for certainty. It is still not assigned to any of Aland's Categories of New Testament manuscripts.

Location

The manuscript is currently housed at the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek (Pap. K. 7244) at Vienna.
