Papyrus 7 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), or ε 11 (von Soden), designated by P7,[1] (Shelf Number: F. 301 (KDA), 553p) is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of Luke 4:1-2. Possibly it is a patristic fragment (like e.g. P. Oxy. 405, a fragment of Against Heresies by Irenaeus containing Gospel of Matthew 3:16-17). The manuscript had been difficult to date palaeographically, because of its fragmentary condition. It had been assigned to the 4th–6th century (but should be dated to 275-325 C.E.).
NOTE: The burnt red is what can be deciphered at to what is on the papyrus and that within the square brackets [ … ] is a conjectural reconstruction of letters or words that were most likely in the manuscript. Notice too, the nomina sacra, Jesus is contracted and Spirit is contracted twice with a bar above the contraction.
