Earliest manuscript of the NT

What is the earliest manuscript of the NT?

Few people have even read the Torah itself!.... But, many people tend to go along with the popular delusion that the Scriptures (the Bible) is full of mistakes and is no longer relevant to our modern world.

The historical accuracy of the Scriptures is overwhelming with more than 5800 manuscripts of the New Testament, that is what Messianic Jews know.

The earliest manuscript we have today is a papyrus fragment at the John Rylands Library of Manchester University, England, most likely the earliest NT document known today,it is known as P52 or Papyrus 52, it has John 18:31-33 on one side and John 18:37-38 on the other with the words of Yeshua (Jesus).:

John 18:31-33 Then said Pilate unto them, Take all of you him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what death he should die. Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Are you the King of the Jews?

John 18:37-38 Pilate therefore said unto him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice. Pilate says unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and says unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

Why we use Hebrew names here

Messianic Jews - Nazarene love Elohim and use the original names of the Tanakh - Hebrew Bible in their daily prayers and in their congregations. The words "Jesus" and "Jehova" are not the original names that appear in the Tanakh - Hebrew Bible or the Greek New Testament. They are transliterations that all have use for so many centuries that almost become true. The real names are Yeshua and Elohim. Read More
