And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
All Commentaries on Matthew 6:13 Go To Matthew 6
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Having made us anxious by the mention of our enemy, in this that He has said, "Deliver us from evil,” He again restores confidence by that which is added insome copies, “For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,” since if His be the kingdom, none need fear, since even he who fights against us, must be His subject. But since His power and glory are infinite, He can not only deliver from evil, but also make glorious.
This is also connected with the foregoing. “Thine is the kingdom” has reference to “Thy kingdom come,” that none should therefore say, “God has no kingdom onearth. The power,” answers to “Thy will be done, as in earth so in heaven, "that none should say thereon that God cannot perform whatever He would. “And the glory,” answers to all that follows, in which God’s glory is shown forth.
