7Q5

Dari Wikipedia bahasa Indonesia, ensiklopedia bebas
Keseluruhan fragmen 5 dari Gua 7 Komunitas Qumran

7Q5 adalah kode untuk sepotong fragmen papirus di antara Naskah Laut Mati yang ditemukan di gua ke-7 komunitas Qumran. Menurut Romo Jose O´Callaghan dalam karyanya ¿Papiros neotestamentarios en la cueva 7 de Qumrân? ("Papirus Perjanjian Baru di gua 7, Qumran?") tahun 1972 merupakan potongan dari Markus 6:52–53. Karyanya kemudian dikembangkan oleh pakar Jerman, Carsten Peter Thiede dalam karyanya The Earliest Gospel Manuscript? ("Naskah Injil Tertua?") tahun 1982. Mayoritas pakar tidak yakin akan pendapat O'Callaghan dan Thiede.[1][2][3][4]

Identifikasi O'Callaghan

Teks bahasa Yunani dari Markus 6:52–53, dengan huruf tebal menunjukkan yang bisa dibaca dari fragmen 7Q5:[5]

ου γαρ
συνηκαν επι τοις αρτοις,
αλλ ην αυτων η καρδια πεπωρω-
μενη. και διαπερασαντες [επι την γην]
ηλθον εις γεννησαρετ και
προσωρμισθησαν. και εξελ-
θοντων αυτων εκ του πλοιου ευθυς
επιγνοντες αυτον. }} quoted at Cox, Stephen L. (2007). Harmony of the Gospels. Broadman & Holman. hlm. 252. ISBN 0-8054-9444-8.  </ref>

  • As the lines of a column are always more or less of the same length, it must be assumed that the words επι την γην <epi ten gen> ("to the land") were omitted, a variant which is not attested elsewhere.[6]
  • The identification of the last letter in line 2 with nu has been strongly disputed because it does not fit into the pattern of this Greek letter as it is clearly written in line 4.[7]
  • The computer search performed by Thiede assumed that all the disputed letter identifications made by O'Callaghan were correct. However, a similar search performed by scholar Daniel Wallace, but allowing other possible identifications for the disputed letters, found sixteen matches.[6] If a computer search is performed with the undisputed letters of the fragment 7Q5 it will not find the text Mk 6,52-53, because the undisputed letter τ in line 3 does not fit to this text.[8]

Significance

If 7Q5 were identified as Mark 6:52-53 and was deposited in the cave at Qumran by 68 AD, it would become the earliest known fragment of the New Testament, predating P52 by at least some if not many decades.

Since the amount of text in the manuscript is so small, even a confirmation of 7Q5 as Markan "might mean nothing more than that the contents of these few verses were already formalized, not necessarily that there was a manuscript of Mark's Gospel on hand".[9] Since the entirety of the find in Cave 7 consists of fragments in Greek, it is possible that the contents of this cave are of a separate "Hellenized" library than the Hebrew texts found in the other caves. Additionally, as Robert Eisenman points out: "Most scholars agree that the scrolls were deposited in the cave in or around 68 AD, but often mistake this date...for the terminus ad quem for the deposit of the scrolls in the caves/cessation of Jewish habitation at the site, when it cannot be considered anything but the terminus a quo for both of these, i.e., not the latest but the earliest possible date for such a deposit and/or Jewish abandonment of the site. The actual terminus ad quem for both of these events, however difficult it may be to accept at first, is 136 AD."(italics his)[10]. So, for this is long after the currently accepted date range for the composition of Mark, according to Eisenman this would mean the even if it could be proved that 7Q5 is a Mark's fragment, an earlier composition date for the gospel could not be proved. However, Eisenman's objection can be con confuted on paleographical grounds; in fact, the fragment has been analysed and dated paleographically, and the upper limit of its date is 50 AD[11]. -->
