Papyrus 103 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), designated by 𝔓103, is a copy of part of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Gospel of Matthew.

Description

The surviving texts of Matthew are verses 13:55-56 and 14:3-5: they are in a fragmentary condition. The manuscript has been assigned palaeographically to the late 2nd or early 3rd century.

Probably together with Papyrus 77 it belonged to the same codex.

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. According to Comfort it is proto-Alexandrian text.

In Matthew 13:55, the name of Jesus' second brother reads ης so that either Ἰωάννης (John) and Ἰωσῆς (Joses) are possible original readings.
