Footnotes

  1. 11:2 Your kingdom come: in place of this petition, some early church Fathers record: “May your holy Spirit come upon us and cleanse us,” a petition that may reflect the use of the “Our Father” in a baptismal liturgy.
  2. 11:3–4 Daily bread: see note on Mt 6:11. The final test: see note on Mt 6:13.
