Oy! Jesus lived in and the Gospels were written in the First Century. Further, the Gospels were written in Greek - not Coptic - because that was the universal language understood throughout the Roman Empire. For the sake of historical perspective, Mohamed lived in the 7th Century, so the Qur'an may be older than this papyrus fragment; IOW, it has slightly more credibility than a Dan Brown novel.A papyrus fragment that mentions Jesus's wife is likely ancient, probably dating between the sixth and ninth century, latest research shows.
When Karen L. King, the Hollis Professor of Divinity at Harvard Divinity School, announced the fragment's existence in September 2012, there was a widespread debate over its authenticity. The fragment, known as the "Gospel of Jesus’s Wife," probably originated from Egypt. It's written in Coptic and contains the phrase "Jesus said to them, 'my wife...,'" never before seen in any ancient text. It also mentions Jesus's mother and a female disciple, who may be identified as "Mary."
Even if it were not a forgery, the earliest they are dating it is to 7th century. Yeah, a very reliable, contemporaneous gospel.neo-x wrote:It was debunked last year I think.

It's an archaeological curiosity whose significance is how weird some corners of the church had gotten 5-8 centuries after Jesus lived and the books of the New Testament were written. Not that reality will in any way affect people's "itching ears".
