Matthew 6:10

6:10 may your kingdom come, ⁹ 

may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Luke 11:2

11:2 So he said to them, “When you pray, ¹⁰  say:

Father, ¹¹  may your name be honored; ¹² 

may your kingdom come. ¹³ 

[29:11]  ¹ tn The words “and sovereign” are added in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.

[29:11]  ² tn Heb “head.”

[22:28]  ³ tn Heb “for to the Lord [is] dominion.”

[45:6]  ⁴ sn The king’s throne here symbolizes his rule.

[45:6]  ⁵ tn Or “forever and ever.”

[45:6]  ⁶ sn The king’s scepter symbolizes his royal authority.

[145:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “the sons of man.”

[145:13]  ⁸ tn Heb “a kingdom of all ages.”

[6:10]  ⁹ sn Your kingdom come represents the hope for the full manifestation of God’s promised rule.

[11:2]  ¹⁰ sn When you pray. 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.

[11:2]  ¹¹ tc Most mss, including later majority (A C D W Θ Ψ 070 ˹³ 33^vid Ï it), add ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς (Jhmwn Jo en toi" oujranoi", “our [Father] in heaven”) here. This makes the prayer begin like the version in Matt 6:9. The shorter version is read by Ì⁷⁵ א B (L: + ἡμῶν) 1 700 pc as well as some versions and fathers. Given this more weighty external evidence, combined with the scribal tendency to harmonize Gospel parallels, the shorter reading is preferred.

[11:2]  ¹² tn Grk “hallowed be your name.”

[11:2]  ¹³ tc Most mss (א A C D W Θ Ψ 070 ˹³ 33^vid Ï it) read at the end of the verse “may your will be done on earth as [it is] in heaven,” making this version parallel to Matt 6:10. The shorter reading is found, however, in weighty mss (Ì⁷⁵ B L pc), and cannot be easily explained as arising from the longer reading.
