Description

Papyrus 110 verso

The original manuscript would've been around 12 cm x 22 cm, with 40–43 lines per page. The handwriting script is representative of the Reformed Documentary or Professional (bookhand) style.[3] The Greek text of this fragment (and its parent codex) is considered to be representative of the Alexandrian text-type.[1]

Textual Variants[4]

${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {P}}}$¹¹⁰ has several unique readings in Matt 10:14.

• εξερχομενων υμων (as you are leaving) — This genitive absolute is a unique textual variant. All other witnesses have εξερχομενοι, a nominative plural participle, normally interpreted as semitism for an imperative (Leave!). ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {P}}}$¹¹⁰ specifies that the plurality of people leaving (εξερχομαι, literally 'coming out') is explicitly 'all of you' (υμας)—the disciples whom Jesus is addressing.
• πολεως η κωμης (city or village) — ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {P}}}$¹¹⁰ agrees with Codex Sinaiticus (א), Minuscule 892 and Family 13 (f¹³). Other witnesses, including Codex Vaticanus (B) omit η κωμης.
• omit εκεινης (that) — ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {P}}}$¹¹⁰ agrees with Codex Bezae (D) and Old-Latin manuscripts. The majority of witnesses include this feminine demonstrative, agreeing with two feminine nouns οικια (house) and πολις. (It would also agree with κωμη.)
• απο (from) — This is another unique variant. Codex Sinaiticus (א), Codex Ephraemi (C), Minuscule 33 and 892 have εκ. Codex Vaticanus and other manuscripts have no preposition, just the genitive case, normally interpreted as a genitive of separation.
• εκμαξατε (wipe) — This too is a unique variant, all other witnesses have εκτιναξατε (shake).[5]

Matthew 10:14 in ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {P}}}$^110	Matthew 10:14 in Editio Regia (1550)	Matthew 10:14 in NA27
και ος εαν μη δεξηται υμας μηδε ακουση τους λογους εξερχομενων υμων εξω της οικιας η της πολεως η κωμης εκμαξατε τον κονιορτον απο των ποδων υμων.	και ος εαν μη δεξηται υμας μηδε ακουση τους λογους υμων, εξερχομενοι της οικιας η της πολεως εκεινης εκτιναξατε τον κονιορτον των ποδων υμων.	και ος αν μη δεξηται υμας μηδε ακουση τους λογους υμων, εξερχομενοι εξω της οικιας η της πολεως εκεινης εκτιναξατε τον κονιορτον των ποδων υμων.
And if anyone does not accept you nor listen to the words, as you leave, out of the house or the city or village, wipe the dust away from your feet.	And if anyone does not accept you nor listen to your words, leave that house or city, shake the dust from your feet.	And whoever does not accept you nor listen to your words, leave, out of that house or city, shake the dust from your feet.
