Papyrus Egerton 2

Cristo Pantocrátor del Sinaí
byJesus of Nazareth

Four episodes from a lost gospel: a controversy with the experts in the Law, an attempted stoning, the healing of a leper and a question about tribute. It mixes features of the synoptics and of John, and it is debated whether it depends on them or preserves an independent tradition.
