Cyril of Alexandria

AD 444

When we are intent in prayer, he commands us to say, “Lead us not into temptation.” Luke concludes the prayer with these words, but Matthew adds, “but deliver us from the evil one.” There is a certain close connection in the clauses, because when people are not being led into temptation, they are also delivered from the evil one. If anyone were perhaps to say that not being led into is the same as being delivered from it, he would not err from the truth. Commentary on Luke, Homily
