1. Matthew 6:9-13 Lord's Prayer in Matthew
The Lord's prayer is in Matthew 6:9-13. The immediate context includes Matthew 6:7-15.

As with any verses, the context of the Lord's Prayer is important. The general context is in the middle of the Sermon on the Mount.
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen.

3. Lord's Prayer in the Didache
English: Neither pray ye as the hypocrites, but as the Lord commanded in His Gospel, thus pray ye: Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth; give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debt, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one; for Thine is the power and the glory for ever and ever. Three times in the day pray ye so.
Greek: Μηδὲ προσεύχεσθε ὡς οἱ ὑποκριταί, ἀλλ΄ ὡς ἐκέλευσεν ὁ κύριος ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ αὐτοῦ, οὕτως προσεύχεσθε· Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου, ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου, γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς· τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον, καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὴν ὀφειλὴν ἡμῶν, ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀφίεμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν, καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν, ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ· ὅτι σοῦ ἐστιν ἡ δύναμις καὶ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας. Τρὶς τῆς ἡμέρας οὕτω προσεύχεσθε. Didache [8]

12. Matthew 6:5 Prayer acting in a corner
Verse routeMatthew 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. [kjv]

The Greek word for "prayer" as a "request" appears four times in four verses in Matthew 6:5-8, right before the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 5:9-13.

Verse routeMatthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. [kjv]

The following ancient Greek words are related. The word appears in the GNT (Greek New Testament) four times and a similar word eleven times in the LXX (Septuagint). The KJV (King James Version) translates this word in the GNT several ways. Sometimes the word used in a literal sense, sometimes in a figurative sense and sometimes both ways at the same time.

Despite the explanation given by Strongs, It is not clear where this meaning originated. The English word "closet" is, through French, from the Latin word "clausum""enclosed space" as in "claustrophobia",

14. Matthew 6:7-8 Vain repetitions of vain repetitions
Blah, blah, blahIn Matthew 6:7, as part of the "Sermon on the Mount", Jesus says not to pray using "vain repetitions" as the "heathen" do.
Verse routeMatthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. [kjv]
Verse routeπροσευχομενοι δε μη βατταλογησητε ωσπερ οι εθνικοι δοκουσιν γαρ οτι εν τη πολυλογια αυτων εισακουσθησονται [gnt]

This is a specific instance of the idea that "if some is good then more is better". Some pastors (and others) boast that as a child (or even now) they repeat the Lord's Prayer every night.

A few verses later is the "Lord's Prayer" which, as an example, does not have repetitions within itself, but could be repeated at different times.

Some pastor appear to think that they get "paid by the word" according to quantity and not quality. At times producing meaningless or even deceptive content, they may lecture their congregations about trying to keep the pastor to any time schedule.

Verse routeελθατω η βασιλεια σου γενηθητω το θελημα σου ως εν ουρανω και επι γης [gnt]

The KJV changes the order of "earth" and "heaven". Are being "seen" of men for "praise", and using "vain repetitions" the "will" of the Father? Should we pray about the "will" of the Father, both for ourselves and others?

16. Matthew 6:1-4 The right secret left with alms
Verse routeMatthew 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. [kjv]

Verse route6:2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. [kjv]

Verse route6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: [kjv]

Verse route6:4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. [kjv]

The TR changed the Greek word for "righteousness" to "alms" to match the following three verses, The last "reward" is not the same Greek word as the "reward" in previous verses.

Doing what is "right" is what is "righteous" and is related to "opinion", "glory" and "law". One must always determine if what is meant is God's "righteousness" or man's "righteousness" (or both).

These verses are a setup for the Lord's Prayer five verses later in Matthew 6:9.

Verse routeτον αρτον ημων τον επιουσιον δος ημιν σημερον [gnt]
Verse routedayghwamlice hlaf syleto dayg. [wes]

Does hiding good works and doing "righteousness" and "mercy" relate to "eternal" "life"? Does the "bread" of "eternal" "life" make one "complete" with "purpose" as is the Father?

18. Matthew 5:43-48 Love your enemies
Verse routeMatthew 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. [kjv]
Verse route5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; [kjv]
Verse route5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. [kjv]
Verse route5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? [kjv]
Verse route5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? [kjv]
Verse route5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. [kjv]

Verse routeMatthew 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. [kjv]

Might these "debts" we owe be to "enemies", such as the religious establishment? They may have invested in us to do their missions but, instead, we did what Christ wanted instead. They think we "owe" them.

20. Matthew 5:39 Paraphrase
Verse routeMatthew 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. [kjv]
Verse routeεγω δε λεγω υμιν μη αντιστηναι τω πονηρω αλλ οστις σε ραπιζει εις την δεξιαν σιαγονα σου στρεψον αυτω και την αλλην [gnt]

5:39: But I say to you. Do not stand in place of the evil (get in the way of the adversary). But whoever [bones, enemy] shall cause thee to strike (rapidly, false start) on your [but a shadow] of a right jawbone (offensive weapon) [the (evil, oppressive) contest, competition] turn from that to the other [(true) contest, competition].

Example: Paul, under orders from the religious establishment, sought to strike out (false start) on a (evil) contest or competition, but was directed to turn from that contest or competition to the true contest or competition. Interestingly, this example of Paul will fit the next few verses as a continuation of the analogy or story.

This verse relates to both the "altar" verse back in 5:23-24 and the "agree" with the "adversary" verse back in verses 5:25-26.

5:41: Whosoever compels (you) to be a messenger with a message one mile [with an indistinct message] go away with the message two (of God).

Example: Paul was compelled as a messenger of the religious institution to go one mile (with an indistinct message). Instead, he changed course and went two miles (and more) with a message of God.

Here is a bottom-up English written paraphrase from the top-down spoken Greek.

5:32 paraphrase: Do not turn back/away from anyone desiring a loan from you (without repayment) for giving (dedicating) that person to the requesting (of) it (message/messenger of God).

In the top-down (spoken) Greek the later references are clear when spoken. In the bottom-up English, the references are not defined until later so they may need to be moved earlier in the paraphrase. That is, a look-ahead is required.

Verse routedimittedebitadimisimus debitoribus … [v]

The Greek for "forgive" as that of "letting go" where there is the idea of separation. The ancient Greek word "ἀφίημι""send away, let pass".
The Greek for "debts" has to do with an obligation to someone, such as "owing" money. It could be any obligation. Luke uses the word Greek word for "sins" whereas Matthew uses the word for "debts".

27. Review of temptations and evil
Verse routeMatthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. [kjv]
Verse routeτοτε ο ιησους ανηχθη εις την ερημον υπο του πνευματος πειρασθηναι υπο του διαβολου [gnt]


Verse route6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. [kjv]

Verse routene inducas nos in temptationem … [v]
Verse routeführe uns nichtVersuchungdem Übel… [lu]

Paraphrase: Do not be deceived by ideas/beliefs that you already think you understand. Help us move/flow from being oppressed by others or oppressing others or oppressing ourselves with toils (based on those deceptions).

28. Matthew 5:33-37 Reasoning about oaths - yes no
Verse routeMatthew 5:33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: [kjv]
Verse route5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: [kjv]

Verse route5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. [kjv]

Verse routeκαι μη εισενεγκης ημας εις πειρασμον αλλα ρυσαι ημας απο του πονηρου [gnt]
Verse routene inducas nos in temptationem … [v]

The four words important in the phrase "and lead is not into temptation, but deliver us from evil" of the Lord's Prayer are the following. The verbs have nuances of meaning that fit the nouns better if the meaning of those nouns reflects the history and meaning of those words as often used at the time.

It then appears that the meaning, and warning, of the phrase was changed in a manner that the original phrase warned about. Let us investigate.

Jesus says not to make "oaths". Can we be deceived by "oaths", "creeds", etc.?

31. Matthew 5:27-28 Overview
Verse routeMatthew 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: [kjv]
Verse route5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. [kjv]

Passive Passive

[He's looking at me! Bad jokes.]

This verse is from the man's point of view (e.g., groom, Jesus, God). The next verse requires one to switch to the woman's point of view (e.g., bride, Church, Israel).

Passive adultery can (with high probability) move to active adultery. [making crude comments in a humerus way]. Initiating active adultery (without overt force) involves seduction, deception, entrapment, etc.

Verse route5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. [kjv]

Active Active

The previous verse was from the man's point of view (e.g., groom, Jesus, God). This verse requires one to switch to the woman's point of view (e.g., bride, Church, Israel).

One reaction of the woman is to block or reject such advances.

Divorced Divorced

The KJV translates as "cause" and "causeth" the Greek words that do not mean "cause".

One reaction is to allow or accept such advances. This is fornication. The husband can then divorce or separate from or put away the woman. The man who then marries the woman commits active adultery as does the woman.

44. Verse model observations
Verse model
In each verse sequence, the order of six times is reveres. The "last" shall be "first" and the "first" shall be "last".

The Greek word for "hidden" as in "hidden" "manna" or "bread" appears only in two places in Matthew, in the kingdom parables.
The "living" "bread" is in Matthew 6:11 (step 5 of seven):

45. Matthew 19:30 First and last
Verse routeMatthew 19:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. [kjv]
Verse routeπολλοι δε εσονται πρωτοι εσχατοι και εσχατοι πρωτοι [gnt]

It is not clear as to the meaning of "many" in this context. This is the end of Matthew 19. This idea is repeated again in several ways in Matthew 20.

46. Matthew 19:30 Stacks and queues
Verse routeMatthew 19:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. [kjv]
Verse routeπολλοι δε εσονται πρωτοι εσχατοι και εσχατοι πρωτοι [gnt]

Stack Queue
In computer science, a "stack" is a LIFO (Last In First Out) data structure that works as a "stack" of cafeteria trays.

By contrast, a "queue" is a FIFI (First In First Out) data structure.
Using the "new" as living and the "old" as dead, does a stack-based or first-in last-out structure have any meaning?

That is, from a time sequence perspective, the last in shall be first out and the first in shall be last out. This is the definition of a stack structure.

Paraphrase: The first in shall be the last out and the last in shall be the first out.

47. Matthew 20:16 First and last
Verse routeMatthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. [kjv]
Verse routeουτως εσονται οι εσχατοι πρωτοι και οι πρωτοι εσχατοι [gnt]

The ancient Greek word "οὕτως""thus" and indicates a conclusion from what has been said. One should look at what was said before this verse. Discuss: These questions appear to be answered, in part, at the end of the next chapter.
