Torah Scroll Fragment

O oure father which arte in heven, halowed be thy name.  Let thy kyngdom come.  Thy wyll be fulfilled, as well in erth, as hit ys in heven.  Geve vs this daye oure dayly breade.  And forgeve vs oure treaspases, even as we forgeve them which treaspas vs.  Leede vs not in to temptacion, but delyvre vs ffrom yvell, Amen."​
- Matthew 6 - The Lord's Prayer (Tyndale's N.T. of 1526)
Ever wondered why so many who recite the Lord's Prayer say "trespass" when it isn't found in any of your Bible translations?  That's because William Tyndale's Bible translation was the last to use it as shown here in his N.T. of 1526.  It was however adopted into the first Book of Common Prayer, and subsequently reproduced and used by numerous churches over the centuries ahead and was never changed to "debts" which is found in practically all translations since Tyndale's.
