The first three subprayers of the Lord's Prayer are: "Hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heavenheaven" (Matthew 6:9-10; Luke 11:2)."

I have always assumed that "on earth as it is in heaven" refers only to "your will be done." But in his book "Surprised by Hope", N.T. Wright writes, "Jesus taught his followers to pray that God's kingdom would come on earth as in heaven." So he, apparently, lets the phrase refer also to the second subprayer.

Are there any indications in the original text that could give us a clue about which parts of the Lord's Prayer are referred to by "on earth as it is in heaven"?
