While it is probable that Jesus gave no directions or methods of

of his instruction to those of his students who were capable of
understanding, particularly as shown in a recently discovered papyrus,
authentically identified as belonging to the early Christians. This-papyrus
was discovered by Egyptian explorers in 1904. Although the papyrus was more
or less mutilated, the meaning is sufficiently clear to justify the
translators in inserting certain words. However, we will here quote only
