What are the words to the Lord's Prayer?

Answer 1

Many different versions of the Lord's prayer exist, used by various groups around the world. However, they all include the same statements and ideas, only differed by the words used to express them. Below are some of these versions; the one directly beneath is perhaps the simplest:

Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name;
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us,
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
[some denominations also include the following] - For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory for ever and ever]

Amen.

It is found in Luke 11:2-4, and Matthew 6:9-15 and the section up to 'evil' is part of Jesus' words in the Sermon on the Mount.

According to Matthew

Old Version.

"Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen" (6: 9-13).

New Version.

"Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."

According toLuke

Old Version.

"Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil" (9: 2-4).

New Version.

"Father, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we ourselves also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation."

"The so-called 'Lord's Prayer' was learned by the Messiah as the 'Kadish' from the Talmud." The Kadish, as translated by a Christian scholar, Rev. John Gregorie, is as follows:

"Our Father which art in heaven, be gracious to us, O Lord, our God; hallowed be thy name, and let the remembrance of thee be glorified in heaven above and in the earth here below. Let thy kingdom reign over us now and forever. The holy men of old said, Remit and forgive unto all men whatsoever they have done against me. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil thing. For thine is the kingdom, and thou shalt reign in glory for ever and for evermore."

There are two slightly different versions, here is the one used by most English churches (unless they use the Book of Common Prayer of 1662): Our father, in heaven;

Hallowed be thy name,

Your kingdom come,

Your will be done,

On Earth, as in Heaven,

Give us today our daily bread,

Forgive us our sins,

As we forgive those who sin against us.

Lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil.

For you are the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit,

Now and forever, Amen.

This one is mostly used by the Americans and Canadians, and the Australians (and English churches that use the Book of Common Prayer of 1662) I believe; Our Father, which art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name;

Thy kingdom come;

Thy will be done,

In earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive them that trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation;

But deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory,

For ever and ever.

Amen.there are many versions but i know:

Our father, in heaven;

Hallowed be your name,

Your kingdom come,

Your will be done,

On Earth, as in Heaven,

Give us today our daily bread,

And forgive us our sins,

As we forgive those who sin against us.

Lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, power and glory are yours

Now and forever, Amen.
