Scientists have found a hidden chapter of Bible text written more than 1,500 years ago. They uncovered the scripture after applying ultraviolet light to a manuscript about ancient Christian stories and hymns housed at the Vatican library. The page features chapters 11 through 12 from Matthew, providing more details than today's standard gospel text. The man who made the discovery says the Gospel text found in the reused manuscript contains the so-called old Syriac translations of the Gospels.
