Historians from the Austrian Academy of Sciences have discovered a hidden version of a Bible passage that had been undiscovered for over 1,500 years using ultraviolet lights. The passage is an ancient version of Chapter 12 in the book of Matthew in the Bible, which is one of the earliest translations of the Gospels, first created in the 3rd century and copied in the 6th century. The manuscript offers a "unique gateway" for researchers to understand the earliest phases of the Bible's textual evolution and shows some differences from modern translations of the text.
