Our Father in heaven,
    may your name be revered as holy.

    May your will be done
        on earth as it is in heaven.(A)
11     Give us today our daily bread.[a](B)
12     And forgive us our debts,
        as we also have forgiven our debtors.(C)

The Lord’s Prayer

11 He was praying in a certain place, and after he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.”(A) So he said to them, “When you pray, say:

Father,[a] may your name be revered as holy.
    May your kingdom come.[b]
    Give us each day our daily bread.[c]
    And forgive us our sins,
        for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us.
    And do not bring us to the time of trial.”[d](B)
