Lord's Prayer and the Kingdom of God


All Bible verses are from NIV, if not otherwise mentioned.

Matthew 6:9-13
   This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
10  your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11  Give us today our daily bread.
12  And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

Matthew 6:13   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.  (KJV)

Luke 11:2-4
   He said to them, “When you pray, say: “‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.
   Give us each day our daily bread.
   Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

Two versions

Lord’s Prayer has two versions.
In Matthew 6:9-13 and in Luke 11:2-4
In Mathew it is longer and expanded, in Luke it is shorter.
The occasion in which our Lords told this prayer is also slightly different.
