Bifolio from the Gospel of Matthew from a codex containing the Four Gospels and Acts (P45), written in Greek with ink on papyrus; made in Egypt in the third century AD.
This manuscript is the earliest undeniable example of a four-gospel codex and 30 of the original 112 leaves survive. The gospels here were probably ordered according to the 'Western' sequence (in descending length): Matthew, John, Luke, Mark. The manuscript, together with the ten other books collectively known as the Chester Beatty Biblical Papyri, was acquired by Chester Beatty in the early 1930s.
Matthew 20.24-32; 21.13-19; 25.41-26.10; 26.19-33
