Here is an article on it Researchers claim to have found ancient Gospel of Mark fragment in mummy's mask | Christian News on Christian Today
Notice what the article says Quote "Evan's study on the first-century gospel text will give clues on how the Gospel of Mark has been changed over time. His research is mainly to analyse the texts in the mask to determine the length of time people held on to the sheets before reusing them, which could be the same period biblical texts were copied, Live Science further reports."
So scientists are going to tell the world what the gospel really says? This smells kinda fishy to me.

Does Archaeology Support the Bible?
FOR Bible students, archaeology is useful, since its findings often supplement their knowledge of life, conditions, customs, and languages in Bible times. Archaeology also provides helpful information on the fulfillment of Bible prophecies, such as those predicting the demise of ancient Babylon, Nineveh, and Tyre. (Jeremiah 51:37; Ezekiel 26:4, 12; Zephaniah 2:13-15) The science has its limits, however. Artifacts must be interpreted, and interpretations are subject to human error and modification.Christian faith depends, not on broken vases, moldering bricks, or crumbling walls, but on the entire, harmonious body of spiritual truth found in the Bible. (2 Corinthians 5:7; Hebrews 11:1) To be sure, the Bible’s internal harmony, candor, fulfilled prophecies, and many other features provide convincing evidence that “all Scripture is inspired of God.” (2 Timothy 3:16)

there are differences in new testament manuscripts and between entire textual 'traditions' of manuscripts such as the byzantine versus the alexandrian texts...none of the differences are really doctrinally significant...but it can be interesting to know how these textual differences developed over time and for what reasons...
Most of the gospels were translated into different languages and sent to those churches so that they can spread the word to different cultures. Paul had used Luke, which he was an scribe that was able to speak and write in different languages to help spread the word. The one that is in our scriptures (The Bible) isn't the first original copy, but a translated copy of the original. God has given them all the ability to speak in different languages to help spread the word. There's more gospel that are lost that all of the disciples had written, that has not been found or wasn't included.

‘We’re recovering ancient documents from the first, second and third centuries,” Evans told Live Science. “Not just Christian documents, not just biblical documents, but classical Greek texts, business papers, various mundane papers, personal letters.” At times, he said, some of those documents were in circulation for hundreds of years before they were committed to the mummification process. “A scribe making a copy of a script in the third century could actually have at his disposal [the] first-century originals, or first-century copies, as well as second-century copies.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/01/20/biblical-scholar-says-hes-found-the-oldest-known-gospel-inside-a-mummy-mask/
