Eyewitness to Jesus

A fragment of papyrus that has recently been re-discovered could be the link that can date the Gospel of Matthew all the way back to a time contemporary to the life of Jesus. The Gospel of Matthew may have been written by someone who actually witnessed events in the life of Jesus, a possible eyewitness to the last supper and perhaps even the crucifixion. Matthew D'Ancona of Magdelene College in Oxford travels from Egypt to the Holy Land in pursuit of the evidence that can prove this papyrus was written during the life and times of Jesus.
