Jesus Teaches His Disciples To Pray

11 And it came about during His being in a certain place praying, that when He ceased, a certain one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples”. And He said to them, “Whenever you pray, say, ‘Father— let[a] Your name be treated-as-holy. Let Your kingdom come. Be giving us each day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, for we also are forgiving everyone being indebted to us. And do not bring us into a temptation[b]’”.

Footnotes

  1. Luke 11:2 That is, make it a reality that Your name is treated as holy. These five requests are in the form of a command (as usual), with a change of grammar on the third request. ‘Let’ does not mean ‘allow’.
  2. Luke 11:4 That is, a situation in which we will be tempted by the evil one. Or, a testing, a trial.
