{{Blockquote | Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven:}}
{{see also|Matthew 6:10}}
According to [[William Barclay (theologian)|William Barclay]], this phrase is a couplet with the same meaning as "Thy kingdom come." Barclay argues: "The kingdom is a state of things on earth in which God's will is as perfectly done as it is in heaven. ...To do the will of God and to be in the Kingdom of God are one and the same thing."<ref>{{Cite book|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=6SslPwAACAAJ |title=The Mind of Jesus |last=Barclay|first= William |date= 1976-01-28|publisher= Harper Collins |isbn= 978-0-06060451-6}}</ref>

[[John Ortberg]] interprets this phrase as follows: "Many people think our job is to get my [[afterlife]] destination taken care of, then tread water till we all get ejected and God comes back and torches this place. But Jesus never told anybody – neither his disciples nor us – to pray, 'Get me out of here so I can go up there.' His prayer was, 'Make up there come down here.' Make things down here run the way they do up there."<ref name= "Ortberg 176">Ortberg, John Ortberg. "God is Closer Than You Think".
