The great defender of the ‘old text’ was Dean Burgon of Chicester. He claimed that the revisioners followed here the corrupted text of Marcion instead of Jesus’ own words. He did not present his readers with any argument for that contention. A more recent attempt to postulate the Marcionite origin of the shorter text has been made by a Dutch scholar, Prof.Dr. J. van Bruggen of Kampen, who really tried to argue why the omission of certain phrases were due to Marcion. The present contribution evaluates his arguments and demonstrates that there is nothing in the textual form of the Prayer (as preserved in the Textus Receptus) that is in conflict with Marcion’s theological system. Moreover, it makes it very probable that Marcion and his later antagonist Tertullian both read the short text in their copies of Luke.", }
