Papyrus 141 (designated as 𝔓¹⁴¹ in the Gregory-Aland numbering system) is what remains of an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of Luke. The text survives on two disparate fragments of the same codex, one from chapter 2 and one from chapter 24. The manuscript has been assigned paleographically to the 3rd century.^[1]

𝔓¹⁴¹ is housed at the Sackler Library (P. Oxy 5478) at the University of Oxford.^[2]

• 2:33 𝔓¹⁴¹ supports the reading πατηρ with 01 03 05 019 032 ƒ1 131 700 1241, compared to the majority reading of ιωσηφ.
• 2:34 𝔓¹⁴¹ reads ηυλογηϲεν with 01 032 036 047 349 579 713 1510 2542,^[1] compared to the standard reading of ευλογηϲεν.
• 2:42 𝔓¹⁴¹ contains the plus αυτω prior to ετη (although ετη was added supralinearly as a prima manu correction) along with 05, compared to the standard reading ετων and the deviant reading οτων of 01.
• 24:23 𝔓¹⁴¹ has the standard reading ηλθον as compared to the orthographic variant ηλθαν of 𝔓⁷⁵ and 03.
• 24:24 𝔓¹⁴¹ evidently had the standard reading of καθωϲ και as compared to just καθωϲ of 𝔓⁷⁵ and 03, and just ωϲ of 05.
• 24:28 𝔓¹⁴¹ has the standard reading of ηγγιϲαν compared to ηγγικαν of 𝔓⁷⁵ and 03.
• 24:32 𝔓¹⁴¹ lacks space for about six letters in the lacuna preceding τ̣η οδω, as compared to ωϲ ελαλει ημιν εν of 𝔓⁷⁵ and 03, the majority reading εν ημιν ωϲ ελαλει ημιν εν being too long to fit. Griffin^[1] reconstructs the reading (based on its support in the Latin manuscripts a b ff² l r¹) as εν ημιν, meaning that the words for "as he was speaking with us" in the Alexandrian base text were replaced with "in us" in alignment with the majority reading.
• 24:33 Griffin views the lacuna as having been too long for the Alexandrian (𝔓⁷⁵ 01 03 05 33) reading ϲυνηθροιϲμενουϲ and reconstructs the text as having contained the majority reading ηθροιϲμενουϲ.
• 24:36 Griffin reconstructs the text, on the basis of line spacing between the extant sequences εϲ on line 19 and ει on line 20 of the second fragment's verso, as having contained the standard reading και λεγει αυτοιϲ, which on the basis of its absence in 05 (and the Latin manuscripts e a b d ff² l r¹) was omitted from the edited texts of Westcott and Hort 1881 and Michael Holmes 2010.^[3]
