Commentaries on Luke 11:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1Teach us to pray - See the nature of prayer, with an ample explanation of the different parts of the Lord's Prayer, treated of in Matthew 6:5-16; (note). The prayer related here by Luke is not precisely the same as that mentioned by Matthew; and indeed it is not likely that it was given at the same time. That in Matthew seems to have been given after the second passover; and this in Luke was given probably after the third passover, between the feasts of…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1As he was praying - Luke has taken notice of our Saviour‘s praying often. Thus, at his baptism Luke 3:21; in the wilderness Luke 5:16; before the appointment of the apostles, he continued all night in prayer Luke 6:12; he was alone praying Luke 9:18; his transfiguration also took place when he went up to pray Luke 9:28-29. Teach us to pray - Probably they had been struck with the excellency and fervor of his prayers, and, recollecting that “John” had…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 1The disciples taught to pray. (1-4) Christ encourages being earnest in prayer. (5-13) Christ casts out a devil, The blasphemy of the Pharisees. (14-26) True happiness. (27-28) Christ reproves the Jews. (29-36) He reproves the Pharisees. (37-54) Verses 1-4 "Lord, teach us to pray," is a good prayer, and a very needful one, for Jesus Christ only can teach us, by his word and Spirit, how to pray. Lord, teach me what it is to pray; Lord, stir up and quicken…Read the comment

Nothing of John's inner teaching (to his own disciples) has been preserved to us, but we may be sure he never taught his disciples to say, "Our Father."Read the comment
