“And when you are praying, do not use thoughtless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard because of their (A)many words. So do not be like them; for (B)your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

The Lord’s Prayer

(C)Pray, then, in this way:

‘Our Father, who is in heaven,
[a]Hallowed be Your name.
10 [b](D)Your kingdom come.
(E)Your will be done,
[c]On earth as it is in heaven.
11 (F)Give us this day [d]our daily bread.
12 And (G)forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation, but (H)deliver us from [e](I)evil.[f]

14 (J)For if you forgive other people for their [g]offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But (K)if you do not forgive other people, then your Father will not forgive your [h]offenses.

Instruction about Prayer

11 It happened that while [a]Jesus was praying in a certain place, when He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.” And He said to them, (A)When you pray, say:

[b]Father, [c]hallowed be Your name.
[d]Your kingdom come.
Give us (B)each day our [e]daily bread.
And forgive us our sins,
For we ourselves also forgive everyone who (C)is indebted to us.
And do not lead us into temptation.’”
