Papyrus 24 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by siglum 𝔓24, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Book of Revelation, it contains only Revelation 5:5-8; 6:5-8. The manuscript paleographically has been assigned to the early 250 C.E.
Description
Originally, it was written on a large leaf (approximately 19 by 28 cm). It is the earliest manuscript that has survived to the present day, with the text of Rev. 5–6. It uses the letter Ζ for επτα (seven).
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type (rather proto-Alexandrian). Aland placed it in Category I. This manuscript exhibits textual agreement with Papyrus 18, Papyrus 47, and Codex Sinaiticus, but the surviving fragment is too small to determine its overall textual affinities.
It is currently housed at the Franklin Trask Library Andover Newton Theological School (OP 1230) in Newton, Massachusetts.
