And it came to pass as he was in a certain place praying, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples.
2
And he said to them, When ye pray, say, Father, thy name be hallowed; thy kingdom come;
3
give us our needed bread for each day;
4
and remit us our sins, for we also remit to every one indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation.
5
And he said to them, Who among you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight and say to him, Friend, let me have three loaves,
6
since a friend of mine on a journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him;
7
and he within answering should say, Do not disturb me; the door is already shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise up to give [it] thee?
8
-- I say to you, Although he will not get up and give [them] to him because he is his friend, because of his shamelessness, at any rate, he will rise and give him as many as he wants.
