I don't know about the Greek, but in the KJV it's literally different 
pages, different books.

Mark 11:
25  And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: 
that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your 
trespasses. 26  But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which 
is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Matthew 6:
  9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in 
heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in 
earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily bread. 12  And 
forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13  And lead us not 
into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and 
the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14  For if ye forgive men 
their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15  But if 
ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive 
your trespasses.

It just about has to be different words, not different translations of 
the same word.
