THE LORD'S PRAYER FROM THE ARAMAIC

Our Father in heaven

Hallowed be thy name

Thy Kingdom come

Thy will be done

as in heaven so on earth

Give us bread for our needs

from day to day

Forgive us our offences, as we

Have forgiven our offenders

Do not let us enter into

Temptation

But deliver us from evil

For thine is the Kingdom For ever and ever "Amen"

Matthew 6:9-13

(from the Ancient Eastern text, the Aramaic of the Peshitta, the Bible of the East)


It is to be noted that God 'leads' no man into temptation, as is inferred in the Authorised translation of this text,'lead us not into temptation' neither does God 'tempt' any man, but will always with temptation provide a way 'out'
