It's just a scrap of papyrus paper, no bigger than a credit card. It has on it lines of writing in the Coptic language and their message is potentially sensational. They quote Christ as having made a reference to having a wife. Of course, this flies in the face of traditional belief, and Professor Karen King, who's just revealed the text to the world, says it does not prove that Christ did indeed have a wife. But she says it is an indication that some early Christians believed that he did. This fragment is not evidence for the marital status of the historical Jesus. Rather, it's evidence that there was a controversy going on in the 2nd century among Christians about whether they should marry or remain celibate. And it's in this context that the question about whether Jesus was married or not was raised for the first time. So far, experts have agreed that the text is authentic, that it really is as old as it looks. But there's disagreement on the meaning. One Bible scholar argues that the word "wife" could be used here to describe a figure who was only a domestic servant, someone who just cooked and cleaned, and wouldn't be what we would regard as a wife in the life of Christ.
