Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 6:13

Matthew 6:13. And lead us not into temptation Or, into trial, as the word πειρασμος , here used, signifies: see note on Matthew 4:1: that is, into such trial or temptation, as will be too hard for our weakness to endure. But deliver us from evil Απο του πονερου , from the evil one, viz., the devil; enabling us to resist and overcome him in all his assaults, of whatever kind they may be. Or, perhaps, the clause may be translated, Lead us not into temptation, but so as to deliver us... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 6:1-18

41. Giving, praying and fasting (Matthew 6:1-18; Luke 11:1-4)If the followers of Jesus give help to the needy with the aim of winning people’s praise, their giving is of no value in God’s sight. They will have their reward in the praise they seek, but will miss out on any reward from God. They should keep matters of giving secret from even their closest friends (Matthew 6:1-4).Prayer also is a private matter. Believers do not need to make a show of prayerful zeal, as if their heavenly Father... read more

After, &c. Compare "When". Luke 11:2-4 . Our Father. See Exodus 4:22 .Deuteronomy 32:6 , &c. The idolater could say to his idol "Thou art my father", so Israel was bound to do So (Isaiah 63:16 ; Isaiah 64:8 ). The Talmud so teaches. Which = Who. heaven = heavens. See note on Matthew 6:10 . Hallowed = Sanctified. Thy. Note that the first three petitions are with respect to God, while the next four concern those who pray. God is to be put first in all prayer. read more

daily. Greek. epiousios. A word coined by our Lord, and used only here and Luke 11:3 , by Him. Compounded from epi = upon ( App-104 .), and ousios = coming. This is derived from eimi = to come or go, which has the participle epiousa (not from eimi = to be, which would make the participle = epousa) . Therefore it means coming or descending upon, as did the manna, with which it is contrasted in John 6:32 , John 6:33 . It is the true bread from heaven, by which alone man can live the... read more

our debts. Sin is so called because failure in the obligation involves expiation and satisfaction. we = we also = that is only what we mortals do. "We" is thus emphatic ("also" is ignored by the Authorized Version) forgive. All editions read "have forgiven". That prayer and plea was suited for that dispensation of the kingdom, but is reversed in this present dispensation. See Ephesians 4:32 . Then, forgiveness was conditioned; now, we forgive because we have been forgiven on account of... read more

lead = bring. Not the same word as in Matthew 4:1 . temptation = trial. Compare James 1:12 , James 1:13 . deliver = rescue. from = away from. Greek. apo. evil = the evil [one]. See App-128 . For, &c. All the critical texts wrongly omit this doxology; for, out of about 500 codices which contain the prayer, only eight omit it. It is found also in the Syriac, Ethiopic, Armenian, Gothic, Sclavonic, and Georgian Versions. for ever. Greek. eis tous aionas. App-151 . a. read more

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father who 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.THE LORD'S PRAYERBy a strange coincidence, this prayer is translated by 66 words in the King James Version, and by 39 words in the Luke account in the Revised Version, corresponding... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 6:9

Matthew 6:9. After this manner, therefore, pray ye— The Lord Jesus Christ gives his disciples a form of prayer, as was usually done by the Jewish masters; John the Baptist had taught his disciples to pray, Luke 11:1. It is to be observed, that this prayer is almost wholly taken out of the Jewish liturgies, and from them so well adapted by our Lord, as to contain all things which can be requested of God, with an acknowledgment of his divine Majesty, and of our dependence. The word ye here is... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 6:10

Matthew 6:10. Thy kingdom come— 2. The kingdom of God being universal and everlasting (Psalms 145:13.), these words cannot be understoodof it; but of the kingdom of the Messiah, which is also called The kingdom of God, ch. Matthew 3:2. There are in the coming of this kingdom several steps to be observed:—The resurrection of Jesus Christ, his ascension, and the sending down of the Holy Ghost, were the beginnings of it. Acts 2:32; Acts 2:36. The preaching of the Gospel to the Gentiles extended it... read more
