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.’”

Teaching about Prayer(A)

11 Once Jesus[a] was praying in a certain place. After he had finished, one of his disciples told him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.”

So he told them, “Whenever you pray you are to say,

‘Father,[b] may your name be kept holy.
    May your kingdom come.[c]
Keep giving us every day our daily bread,[d]
and forgive us our sins,
as we forgive everyone who sins against us.[e]
And never bring us into temptation.’”[f]
