Luke 11:1-6

Jesus Teaches About Prayer

1 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples spoke to him. "Lord," he said, "teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."

2 Jesus said to them, "When you pray, this is what you should say. " 'Father, may your name be honored. May your kingdom come.

3 Give us each day our daily bread.

4 Forgive us our sins, as we also forgive everyone who sins against us. Keep us from falling into sin when we are tempted.' "

5 Then Jesus said to them, "Suppose someone has a friend. He goes to him at midnight. He says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread.

6 A friend of mine on a journey has come to stay with me. I have nothing for him to eat.'
