"The truth may be finally emerging about the "Gospel of Jesus's Wife," a controversial papyrus suggesting that some people believed Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene
New research on the papyrus' ink points to the possibility that it is authentic, researchers say, while newly obtained documents may shed light on the origins of the business-card-sized fragment.
Translation:
1) ... not [to] me, my mother gave to me li[fe] ...
2) The disciples said to Jesus, "...
3) ... deny. Mary is worthy of it ... (or, alternatively, Mary is not worth of it ...)
4) ..." Jesus said to them, "My wife ...
5) ... she will be able to be my disciple ...
6) Let wicked people swell up ...
7) As for me, I dwell with her in order to ...
8) ... an image ...
Analysis of the papyrus, detailed last year in the Harvard Theological Review journal, suggested the papyrus dates back around 1,200 years - somewhere between the sixth and ninth centuries - while the ink is of a type that could have been created at that time.
These findings have led [Harvard University professor, Karen] King to support the text's authenticity."
