Harvard University, divinity professor Karen L. King, announced (Sept. 18, 2012) at the Tenth International Congress of Coptic Studies in Rome, the discovery of a previously unknown papyrus fragment mentioning Jesus's wife.

The small fragment preserves part of a dialogue between Jesus and his disciples. It is written in Coptic and measures about 1.5 by 3 inches (4 by 8 centimeters). The fragment contains eight lines of text on the front and six lines on the back. Based on the writing, scholars date the fragment to the fourth-century.

"Jesus said to them, 'My wife…'” A New Coptc Gospel Papyrus (PDF file) is the preliminary paper on the discovery. The discovery will be formally published in the Jan. 2013 issue (106:1) of the Harvard Theological Review.
