12 And aforgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.

But bdeliver us from the evil one.
1For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.  
14 a“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.  
15 But aif you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.  

Fasting to Be Seen Only by God

16 “Moreover, awhen you fast, do not be like the1 hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.  
17 But you, when you fast, aanoint your head and wash your face,

Matthew 6:14

If ye forgive men - He who shows mercy to men receives mercy from God. For a king to forgive his subjects a hundred millions of treasons against his person and authority, on this one condition, that they wilt henceforth live peaceably with him and with each other, is what we shall never see; and yet this is but the shadow of that which Christ promises on his Father' s part to all true penitents. A man can have little regard for his salvation, who refuses to have it on such advantageous terms. See Quesnel.
