1 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.’
2 He said to them, ‘When you pray, say:‘ “Father,hallowed be your name,your kingdom come.
3 Give us each day our daily bread.
4 Forgive us our sins,for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.And lead us not into temptation.” ’
5 Then Jesus said to them, ‘Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, “Friend, lend me three loaves of bread;
6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.”
7 And suppose the one inside answers, “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.”
