'Pray then in this way:Out Father in heavne, hallowed be your name. Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven oour debtors. And do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil one'
Aspect of the prayer= forgiveness. There is a shorter version in Luke. Matt. is longer because of phrases added to suit his style.
This is supported by FENTON- the longer form in Matt is probably due to the addition by hi, of phrases characteristics of his style and of the formal phraseology which is characteristics of Jewish prayers
Luke simply states father
