Context of Luke 11:2
1Now Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he stopped, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” So he said to them, “When you pray, say: Father, may your name be honored; may your kingdom come. 3Give us each day our daily bread, 4and forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And do not lead us into temptation.”
