Karen King, a Harvard professor of divinity, says the papyrus probably dates to eighth century Egypt, based on radiocarbon dating and tests on the ink's chemical composition . "If it was written in the eighth or even the ninth century, it's still an ancient document," she said in a conference call Thursday.
"It's not a modern forgery." But, she stressed, the fragment doesn't prove that the historical Jesus was actually married.
Most reliable evidence from early Christianity is silent on Jesus' marital status, King added. If anything , she says, the papyrus provides insight into early Christianity's debates over family life.
"Early Christians were extremely interested in whether or not they should marry or be celibate or whether it was OK to have a family or whether one should remain virginal ," King said, adding, that the papyrus , which contains about eight partial lines of text, appears to make the case that mothers and wives can be disciples. Jesus references his mother , wife, and another female as his disciples apparently discuss whether a woman — identified as "Mary" — can join their ranks. According to King's translation, the text then reads "Jesus said to them, "My wife ... " That is followed in the next line by "... she is able to be my disciple ... " King originally revealed existence of the papyrus in 2012.
