Three passages from the Jesus Papyri come from the gospel of Matthew and through various methods is dated within 20 years of Jesus' death from the dead sea scrolls. The Jesus Papyri was earlier than 68 AD due to comparative writing techniques and it was in book format. So we know it had to be even older, at least 10, from 68 AD, perhaps 50 AD just 20 years after Jesus' death 33 AD.
Also interesting are names and places that are given in the NT were names used during the Eyewitness Period up to 70 AD, but later changed by Herod and others after 62 AD.
