Commentaries on Matthew 6:11

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11Give us this day our daily bread - The word has greatly perplexed critics and commentators. I find upwards of thirty different explanations of it. It is found in no Greek writer before the evangelists, and Origen says expressly, that it was formed by them, ' . The interpretation of Theophylact, one of the best of the Greek fathers, has ever appeared to me to be the most correct, ͅ , Bread, sufficient for our substance and support, i.e. That quantity of…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9-13Verses 9-13 This passage contains the Lord‘s prayer, a composition unequalled for comprehensiveness and for beauty. It is supposed that some of these petitions were taken from those in common use among the Jews.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 9-15Verses 9-15 Christ saw it needful to show his disciples what must commonly be the matter and method of their prayer.

The petitions are six; the first three relate more expressly to God and his honour, the…Read the comment

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1111. Give us this day our daily bread--The compound word here rendered "daily" occurs nowhere else, either in classical or sacred Greek, and so must be interpreted by the analogy of its component parts. But on this critics are divided. To those who would understand it to mean, "Give us this day the bread of to-morrow"--as if the sense thus slid into that of Luke "Give us day by day" (Lu 11:2, (as Bengel, Meyer, &c.) it may be answered that the sense thus…Read the comment
