Luke 11:2 - 4 WEB World English Bible
"When you pray, say,
'Our Father in heaven,
May your name be kept holy.
May your kingdom come.
May your desire be done on Earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."
This afternoon, my New Testament reading brought me to the passage above, a account of the Lord's Prayer as recorded in Luke's Gospel. In this prayer, Luke recorded the words of our Lord Iesus as saying, "Give us day by day our daily bread" rather than "Give us this day our daily bread." as recorded in Matthew chapter 6.
The final petition at the end of the prayer is rendered by Luke as "deliver us from the evil one" rather than "deliver us from evil" in Matthew's gospel.
Three years ago, I made a similar observation when reading the same passage in Luke chapter 11 using the Revised Berkeley Version. Please visit the link below:
