Current Status as of January 14, 2023 This web site contains translations of 75 of the 83 earliest New Testament Manuscripts. All of these manuscripts date to between 100 and 300 A.D. The translation process is ongoing, and the most recently translated manuscript is Papyrus 72. I’m currently working on Papyrus 45 (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts). The Matthew and Mark passages of Papyrus 45 are complete and present on the “Chapter View” portion of this web site, along with Luke chapters 6, 7 and 9.
The fact that the majority of the manuscripts have been translated is misleading, since I translated all the shortest manuscripts first and am saving the longest ones for last. I would estimate that the three longest manuscripts are longer than the 80 shortest ones put together. Papyrus 129-131 and 138 are not translated yet and are not very long, but there does not yet exist a publicly available transcription for those manuscripts.
The table below provides a detailed list of which manuscripts have been translated and which have not (yet).
