Papyrus 22 is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is designated by 𝔓22 (in the Gregory-Åland numbering of New Testament manuscripts), and is a papyrus manuscript containing text from the Gospel of John. Using the study of comparative writings styles, (palaeography), the manuscript has been dated to the early 3rd century CE. It is the only identified New Testament papyrus to have been written originally as a roll; not a codex or re-using the back of a scroll.
