"Our Father which art in heaven, "Father, Hallowed be thy name. Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom Thy kingdom come. Give us day come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, by day our daily bread. And so in earth. Give us day by day our forgive us our sins; for we daily bread. And forgive us our sins; ourselves also forgive every for we also forgive every one that is one that is indebted to us. And indebted to us. And lead us not into bring us not into temptation." temptation: but deliver us from evil" (xi, 2-4). The commonly accepted version of the Lord's Prayer is the Authorized Version of Matthew. This version is admitted to be grossly inaccurate. It contains sixty-six words. The Revised Version of Matthew contains but fifty-five. Twenty-four words either do not belong to the prayer, or have been misplaced; while words which do belong to it have been omitted. If the custodians of the Christian Scriptures have permitted the prayer of their Lord to be corrupted to this extent, what reliance can be placed upon the genuineness of the remainder of these writings? The Lord's Prayer, like so many more of the precepts and discourses ascribed to Jesus, is borrowed. Dr. Hardwicke, of England, says: "The so-called 'Lord's Prayer' was learned by the Messiah as the 'Kadish' from the Talmud." The Kadish, as translated by a Christian scholar, Rev. John Gregorie, is as follows: "Our Father which art in heaven, be gracious to us, O Lord, our God; hallowed be thy name, and let the remembrance of thee be glorified in heaven above and in the earth here below. Let thy kingdom reign over us now and forever. The holy men of old said, Remit and forgive unto all men whatsoever they have done against me. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil thing. For thine is the kingdom, and thou shalt reign in glory for ever and for evermore." The eminent Swiss theologian, Dr. Wetstein, says: "It is a curious fact that the Lord's Prayer may be constructed almost verbatim out of the Talmud." The Sermon on the Mount is derived largely from the teachings of the Essenes, a Jewish sect to which Jesus is believed by many to have belonged. 134 When and where was the Lord's Prayer delivered? Matthew: During his Sermon on the Mount, before the multitude. Luke: At a later period, before the disciples alone (xi, 1). 135 Was the Sermon on the Mount delivered before Matthew (Levi in Mark and Luke) was called from the receipt of custom? Matthew: It was (v, 7; ix, 9). Luke: It was not (v, 27; vi, 20). 136 When did Jesus cleanse the leper? Matthew: After the Sermon on the Mount (v, 1; viii, 1-4). Luke: Before the Sermon on the Mount (v, 12-14; vi, 20-49). 137 When did he cure Peter's mother-in-law? Matthew: After he cleansed the leper (viii, 2, 3; 14, 15). Mark and Luke: Before he cleansed the leper (Mark i, 29-31; 40-42; Luke iv, 38, 39; v, 12, 13). 138 Was this before or after Peter was called to the ministry?
