Editing Lord's Prayer (section)

==Comparisons with other prayer traditions==
The book ''The Comprehensive New Testament'', by T. E. Clontz and J. Clontz, points to similarities between elements of the Lord's Prayer and expressions in writings of other religions as diverse as the ''[[Dhammapada]]'', the ''[[Epic of Gilgamesh]]'', the ''[[Golden Verses]]'', and the Egyptian ''[[Book of the Dead]]''.{{sfn|Clontz|Clontz|2008}}{{page needed|date= December 2021}} It mentions in particular parallels in [[1 Chronicles|1 Chronicles 29:10-18]].<ref>{{Bibleverse|1Chr|29:10-18||1&nbsp;Chronicles&nbsp;29:10–18}}</ref>{{sfn|Clontz|Clontz|2008|pp=8, 451}}

Rabbi [[Aron Mendes Chumaceiro]] says that nearly all the elements of the prayer have counterparts in the [[Hebrew Bible|Jewish Bible]] and [[Deuterocanonical books]]: the first part in [[Isaiah 63|Isaiah 63:15-16]] ("Look down from heaven and see, from your holy and beautiful habitation... for you are our Father")<ref>{{Bibleverse|Isaiah|63:15–16}}</ref> and [[Ezekiel 36|Ezekiel 36:23]] ("I will vindicate the holiness of my great name...")<ref>{{Bibleverse|Ezekiel|36:23}}</ref> and [[Ezekiel 38|38:23]] ("I will show my greatness and my holiness and make myself known in the eyes of many nations..."),<ref>{{Bibleverse|Ezekiel|38:23}}</ref> the second part in [[Book of Obadiah|Obadiah 1:21]] ("Saviours shall go up to Mount Zion to rule Mount Esau, and the kingdom shall be the L<small>ORD</small>'s")<ref>{{Bibleverse|Obadiah|1:21}}</ref> and [[1 Samuel 3|1 Samuel 38:18]] ("...It is the L<small>ORD</small>. Let him do what seems good to him."),<ref>{{Bibleverse|1Sam|3:18||1&nbsp;Samuel&nbsp;3:18}}</ref> the third part in [[Proverbs 30|Proverbs 30:8]] ("...feed me with my apportioned bread..."),<ref>{{Bibleverse|Proverbs|30:8}}</ref> and the fourth part in [[Book of Sirach|Book of Sirach 28:2]] ("Forgive your neighbour the wrong he has done, and then your sins will be pardoned when you pray.").<ref>{{Bibleverse|Sirach|28:2}}</ref> "Deliver us from evil" can be compared with [[Psalm 119|Psalm 119:133]] ("...let no iniquity get dominion over me.").<ref>{{Bibleverse|Psalm|119:133}}</ref>{{Sfn|Chumaceiro|1902|pp=121–122}}

Chumaceiro says that, because the idea of God leading a human into temptation contradicts the righteousness and love of God, "Lead us not into temptation" has no counterpart in the Jewish Bible/Christian Old Testament. However, the word "πειρασμός", which is translated as "temptation", can also be translated as "test" or "trial", making evident the attitude of someone's heart, and in the Old Testament God tested Abraham,<ref>{{Bibleverse|Genesis|22:1}}</ref> and told David, "Go, number Israel and Judah," an action that David later acknowledged as sin;<ref>{{Bibleverse|2Sam|24:1–10||2&nbsp;Samuel&nbsp;24:1–10}}; {{Bibleverse|1Chr|21:1-7||1&nbsp;Chronicles&nbsp;21:1–7}}</ref> and the testing of Job in the [[Book of Job]].

Reuben Bredenhof says that the various petitions of the Lord's Prayer, as well as the doxology attached to it, have a conceptual and thematic background in the Old Testament [[Book of Psalms]].<ref>Reuben Bredenhof 2019, ''Hallowed: Echoes of the Psalms in the Lord's Prayer'' Eugene, OR: Wipf & Stock.</ref>

On the other hand, [[Andrew Wommack]] says that the Lord's Prayer "technically speaking... isn't even a true New Testament prayer". The only evidence or argument he offers readers, however, is to "notice that it's not prayed in the name of Jesus."{{Sfn|Wommack|2007|p=29}} 

In post-biblical Jewish prayer, especially Kiddushin 81a (Babylonian).{{sfn|Clontz|Clontz|2008|p= 451}} "Our Father which art in heaven" (אבינו שבשמים, ''[[Avinu shebashamayim]]'') is the beginning of many Hebrew prayers.<ref>{{cite book| first =David H. | last = Stern |title= Jewish New Testament Commentary|date= 1992 |isbn=978-965359011-3|page=32| publisher = Jewish New Testament Publications |author1-link=David H. Stern}}</ref> "Our Father who art in heaven" and "hallowed be thy name" are reflected in the [[Kaddish]] (where it says: "May His great name be hallowed in the world which He created, according to His will, and may He establish His Kingdom...)".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/10112-lord-s-prayer-the|author=[[Kaufmann Kohler]]|publisher=[[Jewish Encyclopedia]]|title=The Lord's Prayer}}</ref> "Lead us not into sin" is echoed in the "[[Shacharit|morning blessings]]" of Jewish prayer. A blessing said by some Jewish communities after the [[Jewish services#Ma'ariv|evening]] ''[[Shema]]'' includes a phrase quite similar to the opening of the Lord's Prayer: "Our God in heaven, hallow thy name, and establish thy kingdom forever, and rule over us for ever and ever. Amen." None of these liturgical prayers, however, can be dated to before [[Jesus|Jesus Christ]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.chabad.org/library/article%20cdo/aid/542330/jewish/How-Old-Is-the-Kaddish.htm|title=How Old Is the Kaddish? - Chabad.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/encyclopedias/eng/tje/l/lords-prayer-the.html|title=Lord's Prayer, the - The 1901 Jewish Encyclopedia|website=StudyLight.org}}</ref>
