A note on the manuscripts

Most scholars agree

"For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory"

The ending everyone says out loud is missing from the earliest manuscripts of Matthew, but it is not a modern flourish either: the church was already praying a doxology at the end of the Lord's Prayer by around AD 100.

What it changes: No doctrine at all. Every word of it is true and is said elsewhere in Scripture: the kingdom is God's, the power is God's, the glory is God's, forever.

Jerome

Catena Aurea by Aquinas (420)

Amen, which appears here at the close, is the seal of the Lord's Prayer. Aquila rendered 'faithfully'—we may perhaps 'truly.'

Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)

And lead us not into temptation,.... Such a petition as this is often to be observed in the prayers of the Jews (a), אל תביאני, "do not lead me" neither into sin, nor into transgression and iniquity, ולא לידי נסיון, "nor into temptation", or "into the hands of temptation";'' that is, into the power of it, so as to be overcome by it, and sink under it; in which sense the phrase is to be understood here.

Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament (1755)

For thine is the kingdom - The sovereign right of all things that are or ever were created: The power - the executive power, whereby thou governest all things in thy everlasting kingdom: And the glory - The praise due from every creature, for thy power, and all thy wondrous works, and the mightiness of thy kingdom, which endureth through all ages, even forever and ever.

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

And lead us not into temptation - That is, bring us not in to sore trial. Πειρασμον, which may be here rendered sore trial, comes from πειρω, to pierce through, as with a spear, or spit, used so by some of the best Greek writers. Several of the primitive fathers understood it something in this way; and have therefore added quam ferre non possimus, “which we cannot bear.” The word not only implies violent assaults from Satan, but also sorely afflictive circumstances, none of which we have, as yet, grace or fortitude sufficient to bear.
