“And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”
When a disciple asks Jesus to teach them to pray as John taught his disciples, Jesus gives the Lord's Prayer in its Lukan form — Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, give us each day our daily bread, forgive us our sins as we forgive our debtors, and do not lead us into temptation. The prayer is shorter than Matthew's version, addressed simply to Father, and embedded in a teaching on persistence in prayer rather than the Sermon on the Mount.
