The "Gospel of Jesus' Wife" is a fragmentary text that surfaced in 2012, claiming to be an ancient papyrus that references Jesus having a wife. The text is written in Coptic, an ancient Egyptian language, and includes a dialogue where Jesus speaks about his relationship with this woman, often interpreted as a possible reference to Mary Magdalene. Scholars have debated the authenticity of the fragment, with some suggesting it could be a modern forgery, while others argue it may provide insights into early Christian beliefs and the role of women in the Christian tradition. The discovery has sparked significant interest and controversy in both academic and religious communities.
