Oxyrhynchus 4448\u003c\/strong\u003e, is an early fragment of the Gospel of John recovered from the ancient rubbish mounds of Oxyrhynchus in Egypt. This single leaf preserves the \u003cstrong\u003every end of John's Gospel\u003c\/strong\u003e — John 21:18–20 on one side and John 21:23–25 on the other — including Jesus' words to Peter, “Follow me,” the testimony of the disciple “whom Jesus loved,” and the Gospel's closing verse. It is one of the earliest surviving witnesses to the final chapter of John, dated by scholars to around the third century, with some placing it earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"color: #aa8a6d; border-bottom: 2px solid #AA8A6D; padding-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003eTextual Significance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs one of the oldest copies of the end of John, P109 offers a rare look at how the conclusion of the Gospel was being copied within a century or so of its composition. It also carries a notable reading in \u003cstrong\u003eJohn 21:18\u003c\/strong\u003e, where it has the plural “others will dress you” in place of the more familiar singular — a variant it shares with several other early witnesses. Because it survives only as a fragment the text is partial, but its early date secures its place among the significant manuscripts of John.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"color: #aa8a6d; border-bottom: 2px solid #AA8A6D; padding-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003eAbout This Replica\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis museum-quality replica is produced through an intensive, hand-crafted process on \u003cstrong\u003ereal Egyptian papyrus\u003c\/strong\u003e.
