Product Description

Own this replica of Papyrus 48 (𝔓48), a rare and interesting shaped but important early manuscript fragment of the Book of Acts, dating to approximately the 3rd century AD. This fascinating fragment preserves portions of Acts 23:11–17 and Acts 23:25–29, visible on both sides as in the original ancient codex.
This passage captures a dramatic moment in the life of the Apostle Paul. In Acts 23:11, the Lord stands beside Paul and tells him to “take courage,” affirming that he will testify in Rome. The reverse side preserves part of the official letter written by the Roman commander Claudius Lysias, documenting Paul’s transfer under armed guard. Together, these verses reflect both divine encouragement and historical Roman authority, offering a powerful glimpse into the earliest spread of Christianity.
The replica includes both sides of the fragment:
Recto (front): Acts 23:25–29 in Koine Greek
Verso (back): Acts 23:11–17 in Koine Greek
This fragment is presented in a clear double-sided acrylic floating display, allowing both sides to be viewed and appreciated. The elegant transparent display is ideal for a desk, shelf, office, or study, creating a museum-style presentation.
