1
One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."
2
Jesus said to them, "When you pray, say this: "Father: May your holy name be honored; may your Kingdom come.
3
Give us day by day the food we need.
4
Forgive us our sins, for we forgive everyone who does us wrong. And do not bring us to hard testing.' "
5
And Jesus said to his disciples, "Suppose one of you should go to a friend's house at midnight and say, "Friend, let me borrow three loaves of bread.
6
A friend of mine who is on a trip has just come to my house, and I don't have any food for him!'
7
And suppose your friend should answer from inside, "Don't bother me! The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.'
