In the 1880s, a large number of papyri were discovered in different conclusions. These impact grants from the New Testament to such an extent that Researchers label is "sensational" and "dramatic." The papyrus was written in the New Testament and has played in all aspects of life, all the days of private letters from ordinary people, contracts of marriage and divorce, tax documents, official decrees, birth announcements and death, and business documents. Before this discovery, the meaning of several words in the New Testament was unknown, and translators were just conjecture.

In 1895 the German scientist Deissmann published a large number of papyrus, and between 1914-1929 Moulton and Milligan published documentary ("documentary", which means papyri and inscriptions) vocabulary in eight volumes in his vocabulary of the Old Testament Greek. Although it was a great step forward, Moulton and Milligan have not had entered 17% of words in the New Testament. In the words included, there were 800 words that is not certified documentary. Due to new discoveries, work has been updated before the last volume was published.

In July 1910, James Hope Moulton made a statement that can be marked as one of history 'famous last words: "I do not think we Papyrology much further. New collections of papyrus only add details now. "

But it did not happen. Researchers thought that the earlier results of papyrus sensational and dramatic, however, the subsequent discovery and editing of papyrus fragments revolutionized New Testament scholarship. Thousands of papyri and inscriptions Greek was first published and republished in 1976. This year, fifteen new volumes of papyri have been published. Light was thrown into a large number of words already attested. Is underway, thousands of new listings coming to give birth each year. Over the last two decades, four thousand inscriptions have been found at Ephesus alone. Unfortunately, although they are very enthusiastic students of New Testament and lexicographers, and led to numerous articles and technical books, which were largely ignored by Bible translators. The layman does not know Scholarships school, hidden in technical journals. Thus, working the dictionary we see in the Bible translations today are based on exchanges studied for centuries, following Tyndale translation of 1534 and the King James Version of 1611.

Much of the scholarship that will benefit the translation of the New Testament is recent. Working in the healing words of Greek New Testament was published recently in 1998, and a definitive work on 1 Timothy 2 passage as recently as 2000. Teachers and Lee Horsley Australia have worked in the lexicon (dictionary) of words in the New Testament of 1986 and New years after the publication of the book. They work to replace the industry standard dictionary, Moulton and Milligan, who is beautiful and up to date. However, while most of the recent New Testament dictionary cites documents found in the old Moulton and Milligan, who have largely ignored work for the sense of the word. For example, in Mark 2:41 p.m. Jesus said, a phrase that translates Bibles as "It is finished!" or "Enough". However, the expression seems to be a well-known formula reception, which is used in the business environment in the papyri and ostraca (which is, fragments of pottery, mainly tax revenue) the technical term a receipt, "Paid in full."

Matthew 11:12 has caused problems for translators for centuries. The King James Version translates: "Since the days John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force. "The NIV translation, "Since the days of John. Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force "Here a correct translation of papyri evidence-based update: "Since the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven is used or stolen, even by people who are not entitled to it. This prevents those who have a legal right to enjoy their property. "

The verse speaks of the violation of fundamental rights of a person as a Christian. For example, some churches to enjoy worship God in their services, but refuse membership in certain groups. Only recently, the BIA found that the Greek word refers to illegal "forced acquisition" and is a technical legal term refers to the act of obstructing the legal owner or holder of the enjoyment of the property. The use actual physical force is not necessary in the context of the term. Since the papyri, there is now strong evidence to show that the words used in this verse are terms used right through the illegal acquisition. This showed that the verse has nothing to do with heaven suffers violence or force the breakthrough, but Christians have prevented people from enjoying their rights.
