Context of Matthew 6:10

8Do not pray like they do. God your Father already knows what you need. He knows this even before you ask him. 9So this is how you should pray: “God, our Father who is in heaven, we want people to give honour to you. We want the day when you rule everyone to come soon. We want everyone to obey you on earth, like everyone in heaven obeys you. 11Please give us the food that we need today. 12We have forgiven people who have done wrong things to us. In the same way, please forgive us for the wrong things that we have done.

Commentaries on Matthew 6:10

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10Thy kingdom come - The ancient Jews scrupled not to say: He prays not at all, in whose prayers there is no mention of the kingdom of God. Hence, they were accustomed to say, "Let him cause his kingdom to reign, and his redemption to flourish: and let the Messiah speedily come and deliver his people." The universal sway of the scepter of Christ: - God has promised that the kingdom of Christ shall be exalted above all kingdoms. Daniel 7:14-27. That it shall…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

The petitions are six; the first three relate more expressly to God and his honour, the…Read the comment

No one rejecting the will of God can enter God's presence (Matthew 7:21; 12:50; 21:28–32). on earth as it is in heaven: This probably refers to all three petitions, not just the third.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1010. Thy kingdom come--The kingdom of God is that moral and spiritual kingdom which the God of grace is setting up in this fallen world, whose subjects consist of as many as have been brought into hearty subjection to His gracious scepter, and of which His Son Jesus is the glorious Head. In the inward reality of it, this kingdom existed ever since there were men who "walked with God" (Ge 5:24), and "waited for His salvation" (Ge 49:18); who were…Read the comment
