The last sentence in the traditionAL Lord's Prayer at Matthew 6:13 is "For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever and ever, Amen."
The 4th Century Vaticanus Greek Text does not have that line. That is why the Cathilics end the Lord's prayer with the word"evil".
The promoters of the Alexandrian Greek New Testament Text claim that line did not appear in the original because they contend that Vaticanus had the origina text. They say is was added later.
Is anyone ware of any evidence that the last line of the Lord's Prayer did, if fact, exist before the 4th Century.
Of course, the Peshitta has it, but what is the earliest date of it in ancient Greek manuscripts?
