KJV Today, “Is the Doxology of the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:13 a late addition?” Accessed May 2018,
http://www.kjvtoday.com/home/is-the-doxology-to-the-lords-prayer-in-matthew-613-a-late-addition. According to this source:
“Roman Catholic and modern Bible versions of the prayer do not have this ending. This powerful
doxology has been falsely characterized as a late addition as it is not found in the two earliest
Greek witnesses of Matthew 6:13 - Sinaiticus and Vaticanus both from the 4th century. Yet it is
found in the third earliest Greek witness of Matthew 6:13, Codex Washingtonensis from the 4th
to 5th century. Hence a manuscript testifying for the doxology is preceded by only two adverse
manuscripts, and that by just one or a half century. The doxology exists in the majority of
Byzantine manuscripts.” 2
