Not sure where you came up with 70AD

The oldest manuscripts preserving the entire text of the New Testament are the Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus, both dated at about A.D. 350.

However there are various fragments the oldest of which I am aware of is Papyrus 52 stored in Manchester and known as the Rylands fragment. This contains text from John 18:31-33, 37-38 and dates from 110 AD at the earliest.
