The Lord's Prayer (Our Father)
9 So then, this is how you should pray:
‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come,
Your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.’

Sobre esta passagem
The Lord's Prayer, also called the Our Father, is the prayer Jesus gives his followers in the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 6:9-13. A shorter form appears in Luke 11:2-4, where a disciple asks him to teach them to pray. Christians of nearly every tradition use it in worship and private devotion.
Its wording varies between churches. Some say debts and debtors, others trespasses or sins, and the closing praise (For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory) is missing from the earliest manuscripts of Matthew, which is why many modern translations leave it out or note it. Protestant congregations often add it, while the Catholic Mass places a similar line after the prayer, separately.
The prayer asks for God's name to be honoured, his kingdom to come, daily bread, forgiveness and deliverance from evil.
Perguntas
Is the Lord's Prayer in Luke the same as in Matthew?
Not exactly. Luke 11:2-4 is shorter and worded differently in places, and it is set in a different scene. Many readers take them as two forms of the same teaching, and churches usually pray the longer Matthew form.
Why do some versions end with For yours is the kingdom?
That closing line is not in the oldest manuscripts of Matthew, though it appears in later ones. Many modern translations omit it or place it in a note, while many churches still say it as a doxology at the end of the prayer.
