ROME — Is a scrap of ancient and faded papyrus (above) suggesting that Jesus had a wife authentic?
Scholars yesterday questioned the much-publicized discovery by a Harvard scholar that a 4th century fragment of papyrus provided the first evidence that some early Christians believed Jesus was married. The Coptic script reads: “Jesus said to them, My wife she will be able to be my disciple.” The woman mentioned, called Mary, is thought to be Mary Magdalene.
