The research project 'Papyri and the Synoptic Miracle Stories' is aimed at investigating all the miracle stories reported by the three Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) from a papyrological point of view. The starting question of the project is quite simple: How could the Synoptic miracle stories have been perceived or understood by an 'average' reader or listener of their time? To answer this, the analysis will seek to illuminate the language, key topics, and social scenarios of the Gospel narratives through a sound comparison with documentary papyri, ostraca, and tablets coming from the Greco-Roman world, taking also into account ancient semi-literary texts concerning magic and medicine (e.g. magical amulets or medical treatises, prescriptions, and recipes). As the most part of the miracle stories transmitted in the Synoptic tradition depict Jesus as a healer and exorcist, special attention will be paid to issues related to healing and disease, such as: (a) the relationship between Jesus and the healing practitioners of his time (including analysis of the use of medical and/or magical techniques by Jesus and his disciples); (b) the social construction of illness and the connections between disease, social status, ethnicity and gender; (c) the symbolic meaning of diseases, considering ancient conceptions of suffering and misfortune as a result of 'non-human' agents (particularly in the case of demoniac possessions or 'evil eye'); (d) the role and the status of doctors, healers, and magicians in antiquity as well as the importance of healing practices in the construction of Christian identity; (e) the question whether the authors of the Synoptic Gospels were influenced by or aware of the ancient Greco-Roman medical terminology. In all these aspects, the project will conduct ground-breaking research, as a papyrological approach together with the consideration of relevant semi-literary texts has never been chosen before to analyse the text of the Gospels in a systematic way. The final result will be a complete commentary on the Synoptic miracle stories, based on the model and methodology of the international series 'Papyrologische Kommentare zum Neuen Testament - Papyrological Commentaries on the New Testament' (PKNT) published by Vandenhoeck und Ruprecht (2003-). Due to its special topics and its strong interdisciplinary character, it is reasonable to assume that the expected volume will represent not only an important supplement to traditional biblical commentaries, but also an indispensable tool for further research in the fields of papyrology, New Testament studies, and the history of the ancient Mediterranean world.

研究项目“ Papyri和Symactic Miracle故事”旨在调查三种概要福音书（Matthew，Mark和Luke）报道的所有奇迹故事。该项目的开始问题很简单：“普通”读者或听众的时间如何看待或理解概要奇迹故事？ To answer this, the analysis will seek to illuminate the language, key topics, and social scenarios of the Gospel narratives through a sound comparison with documentary papyri, ostraca, and tablets coming from the Greco-Roman world, taking also into account ancient semi-literary texts concerning magic and medicine (e.g. magical amulets or medical treatises, prescriptions, and recipes).作为在概要传统中传播的大部分奇迹故事将耶稣描述为治疗者和驱魔人，将特别关注与治愈和疾病有关的问题，例如：（a）耶稣与他那个时代的治愈实践者之间的关系（包括分析耶稣和他的耶稣和他的魔法技术的使用）； （b）疾病的社会建构以及疾病，社会地位，种族与性别之间的联系； （c）疾病的象征意义，考虑到“非人类”的代理人的痛苦和不幸观念（尤其是在恶魔般的财产或“邪恶之眼”的情况下）； （d）医生，治疗师和魔术师在古代中的作用和地位，以及在建设基督教身份中康复实践的重要性； （e）概要福音书的作者是受到古老的希腊罗马医学术语的影响还是意识到的问题。在所有这些方面，该项目将进行开创性的研究，作为一种论文学方法以及考虑相关半文本的考虑，从未选择过以系统的方式分析福音书的文本。最终结果将是关于概要奇迹故事的完整评论，该故事基于国际系列的模型和方法“ Papyrologicche Kommentare Zum Neuen Neuen遗嘱 - 关于新约的纸质学评论”（PKNT），由Vandenhoeck und Ruprecht（2003---）发表。由于其特殊主题和强大的跨学科特征，可以合理地假设，预期的体积不仅代表了传统圣经评论的重要补充，而且还代表了在纸质学，新约研究和古代地中海世界的历史上进一步研究的必不可少的工具。
