Commentaries on Matthew 6:13

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13And lead us not into temptation - That is, bring us not in to sore trial. , which may be here rendered sore trial, comes from , to pierce through, as with a spear, or spit, used so by some of the best Greek writers. Several of the primitive fathers understood it something in this way; and have therefore added quam ferre non possimus, "which we cannot bear." The word not only implies violent assaults from Satan, but also sorely afflictive circumstances…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9-13Verses 9-13 This passage contains the Lord‘s prayer, a composition unequalled for comprehensiveness and for beauty. It is supposed that some of these petitions were taken from those in common use among the Jews. Indeed some of them are still to be found in Jewish writings, but they did not exist in this beautiful combination. This prayer is given as a “model.” It is designed to express the “manner” in which we are to pray, evidently not the precise words…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 9-15Verses 9-15 Christ saw it needful to show his disciples what must commonly be the matter and method of their prayer. Not that we are tied up to the use of this only, or of this always; yet, without doubt, it is very good to use it. It has much in a little; and it is used acceptably no further than it is used with understanding, and without being needlessly repeated. The petitions are six; the first three relate more expressly to God and his honour, the…Read the comment

Jesus encourages prayer for God's help to withstand the test (see 26:41; Psalm 141:4). from the evil one: This phrase can also be translated “from evil.” The first reading points to Satan, the one who tempts people (see James 1:13). The second reading points to sin in general. "for Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1313. And lead us not into temptation--He who honestly seeks and has the assurance of, forgiveness for past sin, will strive to avoid committing it for the future. But conscious that "when we would do good evil is present with us," we are taught to offer this sixth petition, which comes naturally close upon the preceding, and flows, indeed, instinctively from it in the hearts of all earnest Christians. There is some difficulty in the form of the petition…Read the comment
