Prayer taught by Jesus
The Lord’s Prayer
The Lord’s Prayer gives Jesus’ disciples a pattern for addressing the Father, seeking his kingdom, receiving daily provision, forgiving, and asking for deliverance.
Mannora translation
Biblical text
Matthew 6:9–13
9So pray in this way: Our Father in heaven, may your name be held holy.
10May your kingdom come. May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11Give us today the bread we need.
12Forgive us our debts, as we too have forgiven those indebted to us.
13Do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Traditional ending
Many Christians use this line of praise when praying together. It is shown separately from the Matthew reading above.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours forever. Amen.
Read Luke’s shorter form
Luke 11:2–4
2Father, may your name be held holy. May your kingdom come.
3Give us each day the bread we need.
4Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us. Do not lead us into temptation.
Where it appears
The fuller form appears in Matthew 6:9–13 as part of the Sermon on the Mount. A shorter form appears in Luke 11:2–4 after a disciple asks Jesus to teach them to pray.
Many Christian communities conclude the prayer with a familiar line of praise. It is displayed separately so the biblical reading and the traditional ending remain clear.
