>>Mat 6:13 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.

>The last line was added. By whom I don't know.

This was discussed on another list of Catholics who are quite knowledgeable, and I learned that this line was added quite early on, and that in some parts of the early church, the Lord's Prayer was prayed with this part added. I had thought this did not come into use until the King James translation, but I was told it was in use from a fairly early date though my understanding is that it was not in the original Scripture. However, it was not a change due to the Reformation either. I looked into it a little and found some references that I did not save, so I cannot "prove" this nor does it matter a great deal to me, but that line was used in prayer from an early date, just as we now use it at Mass even though it is not in the Catholic translations of the Bible. A minor point, and actually I don't think anyone knows for certain exactly "by whom" this was done.

<>I was taught it was a gloss appended to the text by a copying monk.<>

I have read (and no I can't source it now) that as in the Mass today the priest spoke that line and that it was probaby included in error by some monk laboriously copying the Bible. It makes sense to me, especially since I am a convert to Catholicism and I still often add that line myself.
