Luke

Luke 11:1–4

¹One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

²So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say:

‘Father,^a hallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come.^b

³Give us each day our daily bread.

⁴And forgive us our sins,

for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.

And lead us not into temptation.^c’”
