The John Rylands Fragment (P52) is the oldest known manuscript fragment of the New Testament. This papyrus codex containing John 18:31-33 and 37-38, was found in Egypt by Bernard P. Grenfell. It went unnoticed among many other manuscript fragments until 1934, when C. H. Roberts recognized that it contained part of the Gospel of John.
