 Ask Vicar Sue!
Just when you
thought it was safe... out comes another installment of Ask Vicar Sue.
Greetings
and salutations on this wonderful
Sunday of the Easter Season. Recently I've had the
opportunity to work with several different groups studying the Lord's prayer,
and the Doxology (AKA The Conclusion) has been asked about. You know, the part that
goes: "For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever."
For some Christians, certain Roman Catholics and Lutherans in particular, this
part of the prayer is often not used. This is because the Doxology does not
appear in the gospel of Luke or in the earliest manuscripts of the gospel of
Matthew. It appears to be a later addition in Matthew.
One of the earliest, and
most well known, printed bibles in the English language, The King James
Version, does contain the doxology, where many modern translations, such as the
New Revised Standard and the New Living Translation do not include it.
Interestingly, it does not appear in Luther's original version of the Small
Catechism either. :-) Blessings - Vicar
