Description

This fragment omits the entire detailed content of Jesus’ prayer in Luke 22:42–45a.[2] At Luke 22:61 Peter (not Jesus) is looking. Claire Clivaz has suggested that 69 (P. Oxy 2383) should be regarded 'as a witness to a Marcionite edition of Luke's Gospel'.[3] Peter M. Head feels that 'the suggestion that 69 is a manuscript of Marcion’s Gospel is a very clever idea which is however not proven and not the most plausible context for making sense of this fascinating manuscript'.[4]

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Western text-type. According to Aland text is very free, "characteristic of precursors of the D-text", therefore Aland placed it in Category IV.[5]

gollark: > And just so its clear I am a minarchist I just think the government needs to do some shitI roughly agree with that. I'm just not sure that the specific set of stuff it needs to do includes phone lines and such.
gollark: You can have... multiple phone line companies? We do in lots of places, even.> you made it so why let anyone else use itThey can pay you for it.> In times of high darwinist selection, it doesn't matter what the current paradigms are.Um. No.
gollark: I was replying to BearcatBen with the "People who need them?" thing, but oh well, ye,s very edgy.
gollark: > Why so?I mean, for one thing, I care about... quality of life? general stability? Lots of things OTHER than just technology? For another, why would ancap magically improve advancement?
gollark: People who need them?
