Appendix: The Lord's Prayer

The Lord's Prayer

This is a translation from the Greek¹ by Luis Zamora.

Matthew 6:9–13

All of you pray like this:

Father of ours, the One in the heavens:
May Your name be held sacred.
May Your kingdom come.
May Your wishes come about on earth just like they do in heaven.
Supply our bread for the day;
Forgive what we owe
in the same way we have already forgiven those who owe us;
And do not bring us into a test,
But rather pull us away from the evil one.²

Original text:

Οὕτως οὖν προσεύχεσθε ὑμεῖς·

Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς
ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου·
ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου·
γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς·
Τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον·
καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰ ὀφειλήματα ἡμῶν
ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀφίεμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν·
καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν,
ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ

"And do not bring us into a test, but rather pull us away from the evil one."
Or,

And do not nominate us to be tested,
But rather shield us from the evil one.
