- 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."
- He said to them, "When you pray, say: " 'Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.
- Give us each day our daily bread.
- Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.' "

- It happened that while Jesus was praying in a certain place, after He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples."
- And He said to them, "When you pray, say: 'Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.
- 'Give us each day our daily bread.
- 'And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.'"
- Then He said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves;
|
- because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.'
- "Then the one inside answers, 'Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.'
- I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man's boldness he will get up and give him as much as he needs.
- "So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
- For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
|
- for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him';
- and from inside he answers and says, 'Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.'
- "I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.
- "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
- "For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened.

- "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?
- Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
- If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
|
- "Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
- "Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he?
- "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?"
