This Christmas season, we turn to one of the earliest witnesses to the incarnation, Papyrus 66 (𝔓66). Copied around the late 2nd or early 3rd century, 𝔓66 preserves much of the Gospel of John, including
John 1:14:
“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."
“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."
These ancient words, written nearly two millennia ago, remind us that the message of the Incarnation has been faithfully passed down through generations. As we celebrate Christmas, we give thanks for the men and women who preserved this good news so that we too may behold the Word made flesh.
