Papyrus 75 (P75, Papyrus Bodmer XIV-XV) is an early New Testament papyrus. It 'contains about half the text of ... two Gospels'[1] - Luke (Papyrus Bodmer XIV) and John (Papyrus Bodmer XV) in Greek. It is dated in Nestle-Aland (27th edition, NA27) as being an early third century manuscript. It is one the earliest manuscripts (along with P4)[2] of the Gospel of Luke. 'The surviving fragment contains Luke 3:18-24:53 ...'[2] [3]. 'An unusual feature of this codex is that Luke ends and John begins on the same page.'[4].
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. Kurt Aland placed it in Category I. The text is closer to Codex Vaticanus than to Codex Sinaiticus. Agreement between P75 and codex B is 92%.[5]
