Randall,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you argument from Semitic environment
assumes notl only (a) that the LP goes back to Jesus who gave it in
Aramaic or Hebrew and that (b) Matt 6:13b is a Greek form of a phrase
that was original to the prayer. To put this another way: you rule out
the possibility that Matt. 6:13b is a Matthean *addition* to a prayer
which originaly ended with the Hebrew/Aramaic equivalent of "Lead us not
into PEIRASMOS", yes?

Yours,

Jeffrey
