The Lord's Prayer, also known as the Our Father Prayer, is a foundational Christian prayer taught by Jesus Christ.


Matthew 6:9-13 (NIV)


"Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one."


Luke 11:2-4 (NIV)


"Father, hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,

And lead us not into temptation."
