Jesus Teaches About Prayer

11 One time Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his followers said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray as John taught his followers.”

Jesus said to them, “When you pray, say:

‘Father, may your name always be kept holy.
May your kingdom come.
Give us the food we need for each day.
Forgive us for our sins,
    because we forgive everyone who has done wrong to us.
And do not cause us to be tempted.’”[a]
