1 tn Heb “and do all which the foreigner calls to [i.e., “requests of”] you.”
2 tn Heb “name.” See the note on “reputation” in v. 32.
3 tn Heb “fear.”
4 tn Heb “that your name is called over this house which I built.” The Hebrew idiom “call the name over” indicates ownership. See 2 Sam 12:28.
5 tn Heb “in your strength,” but English idiom does not require the pronoun.
6 tn Heb “sing praise.”
7 tn Heb “[be] blessed.”
8 tn Or “glory.”
9 tn Heb “surely and surely” (אָמֵן וְאָמֵן [’amen vÿ’amen], i.e., “Amen and amen”). This is probably a congregational response of agreement to the immediately preceding statement about the propriety of praising God.
10 sn Pray this way. What follows, although traditionally known as the Lord’s prayer, is really the disciples’ prayer. It represents how they are to approach God, by acknowledging his uniqueness and their need for his provision and protection.
11 sn God is addressed in terms of intimacy (Father). The original Semitic term here was probably Abba. The term is a little unusual in a personal prayer, especially as it lacks qualification.

12 tn Grk “hallowed be your name.”
13 tn Or “into a time of testing.”
14 tc Most
15 tn Or “from the sky” (see note on 1:32).

17 tn “It” is not in the Greek text. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
18 tn Grk “he raised his eyes” (an idiom).
19 tn Or “to the sky.” The Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) may be translated “sky” or “heaven” depending on the context.
20 tn Grk “the hour.”
21 tc The better witnesses (א B C* W 0109 0301) have “the Son” (ὁ υἱός, Jo Juios) here, while the majority (C3 L Ψ Ë13 33 Ï) read “your Son also” (καὶ ὁ υἱὸς σου, kai Jo Juio" sou), or “your Son” (ὁ υἱὸς σου; A D Θ 0250 1 579 pc lat sy); the second corrector of C has καὶ ὁ υἱός (“the Son also”). The longer readings appear to be predictable scribal expansions and as such should be considered secondary.
22 tn Or “spiritual fellowship” if πνεύματος (pneumato") is an attributive genitive; or “fellowship brought about by the Spirit” if πνεύματος is a genitive of source or production.
23 tn Grk “and any affection and mercy.” The Greek idea, however, is best expressed by “or” in English.
