Hey everyone!

I've begun teaching Sunday School again...this time the High School! It's already been loads of fun and the class has grown from 1 or 2 students that MIGHT come each week to 5 or 6 that come every week!!!

Of course, being High School students, we get into deeper discussions of how and why and when things happen in the Bible and in our Lutheran ways.

The current question is:

When did "for thine is the kingdom, et al; come into use for the Lord's Prayer?"

So...who can help? *G*

Chapter 8. Fasting and Prayer (the Lord's Prayer). But let not your fasts be with the hypocrites, for they fast on the second and fifth day of the week. Rather, fast on the fourth day and the Preparation (Friday). Do not pray like the hypocrites, but rather as the Lord commanded in His Gospel, like this:

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily (needful) bread, and forgive us our debt as we also forgive our debtors. And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one (or, evil); for Thine is the power and the glory for ever..
​

Pray this three times each day.

My understanding is that the phrase "For Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever. Amen" comes from an ancient writing called the Didache (pronounced "did-dock-ay" which means "twelve"), so called because it is considered the teachings of the 12 apostles. The phrase is a liturgical conclusion to the Lord's Prayer. In fact, in the Roman Catholic mass it is recited seperately from the Lord's Prayer. It's inclusion into some versions of the Bible can be traced to it's inclusion into some ancient Latin manuscripts and thus made its way into the Greek Textus Receptus, which is the Greek text that is the basis of the King James Version of the New Testament.

You might want to retranslate “didache” (διδαχ&#951— means “Teaching”. Historical use extends the title to “The Teaching of the Twelve.” But “didache” itself means “teaching.”

You are correct, sir. I knew that. From didaskw.
Not sure what I was thinking.
