Date of Writing: Discovery of certain papyrus fragments dated around A.D. 135 require the book to have been written, copied, and circulated before then. And while some think it was written before Jerusalem was destroyed (A.D. 70), A.D. 85-90 is a more accepted time for its writing.
Tarehe ya kuandikwa: Ugunduzi wa baadhi ya vipande vya mafunjo yaliyoandikwa karibu AD 135 zinahitaji kitabu kuwa huenda kiliandikwa, kunakiliwa, na kusambazwa kabla ya hapo. Na wakati baadhi ya watu hufikiri kiliandikwa kabla ya Yerusalemu kuharibiwa (AD 70), AD 85-90 ni muda unaokubalika zaidi kwa ajili ya kuandika kwake.
