Joe Rogan left in shock after being shown ‘evidence that Jesus was real’
This isn’t the first time the popular podcaster has discussed religion on his show
Joe Rogan was left stunned on a recent episode of his podcast featuring Wesley Huff.
As one of the loudest podcasters around, Joe Rogan has never been known as the shy and retiring type. With that, he tends to make his feelings clear on everything from the American election to drone theories, the LA wildfires to drugs – he even famously featured Elon Musk smoking cannabis during a 2018 episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.
Rogan has also spoken about religion, and now the self-described agnostic might be having a change of heart.
Discussing all things religion with Christian apologist Wesley Huff, episode #2252 of The Joe Rogan Experience saw the host presented with a replica of Papyrus 52. Christians maintain that it’s one of the oldest manuscripts from the Bible, with it thought to be the oldest excerpt from the Bible’s Gospel of John.

The passage is said to be an eyewitness testimony from Jesus’ trials in the run-up to his eventual crucifixion.
The front of the replica reads: “Jesus says, everyone who follows the truth, who is following the truth, follows me.”
On the back, there are the words of Pontius Pilate saying, “What is truth?”
Pilate was famously the governor of Rome who sentenced Jesus to death.
Despite only being a small fragment of the larger book, Huff says the full version ‘would have been essentially like a pocket copy of the Gospel of John’ that was carried from Turkey to Egypt. With the original being found in Egypt in the 1940s, historians have determined it’s a Christian manuscript because there’s writing on both sides.
Even though this small piece is only a replica, it clearly affected Rogan, who said: “Wow. That’s unbelievable. Wow. That’s so fascinating.”
