The Lord’s Prayer By Ashleigh Lych
The difference in versions of the Lord’s Prayer over time has to do not only with the language of the time but also to do with who translated it. The language difference however is visible in the letters, syntax and lexicon.
The Lord's Prayer Old English (c. 450-1100) This version of the Lord's Prayer probably isn't recognizable by the majority of modern English speakers. 1000 AD is before the Norman invasion of England and therefore many of the words in Modern English that were taken from French are not yet present in the Language.
