Luke 11:1-6

Teaching the disciples to pray

1 Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."
2 Jesus told them, " When you pray, say: ‘Father, uphold the holiness of your name. Bring in your kingdom.
3 Give us the bread we need for today.
4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who has wronged us. And don't lead us into temptation.'"
5 He also said to them, “Imagine that one of you has a friend and you go to that friend in the middle of the night. Imagine saying, ‘Friend, loan me three loaves of bread
6 because a friend of mine on a journey has arrived and I have nothing to set before him.'
