The Matthew Bible was the combined work of three individuals, working from numerous sources in at least five different languages.

The first-century text Didache (at chapter VIII) reports a version which is closely similar to that of Matthew and also to the modern prayer. It ends with the Minor Doxology.

A similar statement is made at Isaiah 65:24. This raises the question of why prayer is even necessary at all, and this issue has been much discussed by theologians.
Cyprian: Otherwise, we say this not as wishing for God to be made holy by our prayers, but asking of Him for His name to be kept holy in us.
