I had some nice English stationery on hand, so I decided to try to make something similar in Greek! It’s not quite the same, but pretty close, eh?

Here’s a clearer view:

Download the full PDF here, so you can print it off yourself!

Printing instructions:
The PDF is formatted as letter size (11×8.5 inches).
Print in horizontal layout and set the scale to “None” or 100%.
Do NOT select “fit to page” or you’ll get the fine print at the bottom of the page.

Enjoy! If you’d like to receive an email when I post things like this in the future, scroll to the bottom of the page, and sign up!

If you’d like to see some more stationery like this feel free to leave a comment below with suggestions for Bible verses, etc, and I’ll see what I can do.

Interestingly, many Greek NT manuscripts don’t include “all” of the Lord’s Prayer as we usually think of it. The last sentence, “ὅτι σοῦ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία καὶ ἡ δύναμις καὶ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας. ἀμήν.” is missing from several important witnesses. (The NA28 lists them in the apparatus as: ℵ B D Z 0170 ƒ1 ℓ 2211 lat mae bo^pt; Or). I thought it would be interesting to track down a manuscript that does have it however, so I picked the first one from the list (K) that does include it, and looked it up online. The relevant part of the page is shown below.

As you can see, the whole thing is there. (With an interesting variant of “ἀφίεμεν” instead of “ἀφήκαμεν” as well!)

Here’s the Greek text in Unicode, as found in the 2018 Robinson-Pierpont Byzantine Text.

οὕτως οὖν προσεύχεσθε ὑμεῖς·
Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου· ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου· γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου, ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς· τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον· καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰ ὀφειλήματα ἡμῶν, ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀφήκαμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν· καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν, ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ. ὅτι σοῦ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία καὶ ἡ δύναμις καὶ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας. ἀμήν.

(ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΘΘΑΙΟΝ 6:9-13)

Wishing everyone a blessed and memorable Easter, especially in the midst of these interesting times! Let us rejoice in the resurrection and life of Christ our Savior, who has given us eternal life through His death on the cross! So thankful this year that we have the privilege to worship Him, even if we can’t make it to a church building because of COVID-19.

Have you ever wondered what an Easter greeting in Greek would sound like? Wonder no longer! I ran across this site (called YouTube, ever heard of it?) that happened to have a video of just that! Kind of a neat accent he has there, not exactly the kind I’m used to, but I can understand what he’s saying!

“Εὐλογητὸς ὁ θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὁ εὐλογήσας ἡμᾶς ἐν πάσῃ εὐλογίᾳ πνευματικῇ ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις ἐν Χριστῷ…ἐν ᾧ ἔχομεν τὴν ἀπολύτρωσιν διὰ τοῦ αἵματος αὐτοῦ, τὴν ἄφεσιν τῶν παραπτωμάτων, κατὰ τὸ πλοῦτος τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ…”(ΠΡΟΣ ΕΦΕΣΙΟΥΣ 1:3,7)

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Matthew 1:21

Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. 

-Revelation 7:12
