11 When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”

He said to them, “When you pray, say,

‘Our Father in heaven,
    may your name be kept holy.
May your Kingdom come.
    May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
    for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
Bring us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.’”

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]
