In biblical context, sin is a transgression against God's law (1 <a href="/john/3-4.htm">John 3:4</a>). The request for forgiveness is central to Christian doctrine, reflecting the sacrificial atonement of Jesus Christ (<a href="/hebrews/9-22.htm">Hebrews 9:22</a>). The concept of forgiveness is rooted in the Old Testament, where sacrifices were made for atonement (Leviticus 16). Jesus, as the ultimate sacrifice, fulfills these requirements (<a href="/hebrews/10-10.htm">Hebrews 10:10</a>).for we also forgive everyone who sins against us This part of the verse highlights the reciprocal nature of forgiveness. It reflects the teaching of Jesus in the parable of the unmerciful servant (<a href="/matthew/18-21.htm">Matthew 18:21-35</a>), where forgiveness received from God should be mirrored in our relationships with others. The cultural context of the time emphasized community and reconciliation, aligning with Jewish teachings on forgiveness (<a href="/leviticus/19-18.htm">Leviticus 19:18</a>). This phrase underscores the importance of forgiving others as a reflection of God's forgiveness towards us (<a href="/ephesians/4-32.htm">Ephesians 4:32</a>).And lead us not into temptation This request acknowledges human vulnerability to sin and the need for divine guidance. The term "temptation" can also be understood as "testing" or "trial" (<a href="/james/1-13.htm">James 1:13-14</a>). It reflects a plea for protection from situations that may lead to sin, aligning with the biblical understanding that God does not tempt anyone to do evil (<a href="/james/1-13.htm">James 1:13</a>). The phrase echoes the experience of Jesus in the wilderness, where He was tempted by Satan but remained sinless (<a href="/matthew/4.htm">Matthew 4:1-11</a>). It is a call for God's strength to resist evil and maintain righteousness.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> The speaker of this prayer, teaching His disciples how to pray. 2. <a href="/topical/d/disciples.htm">Disciples</a> The immediate audience receiving Jesus' teaching on prayer. 3. <a href="/topical/g/god_the_father.htm">God the Father</a> The one to whom the prayer is directed, emphasizing a personal relationship. 4. <a href="/topical/s/sinners.htm">Sinners</a> Those who have committed sins, both the one praying and those who have sinned against them. 5. <a href="/topical/t/temptation.htm">Temptation</a> The trials or tests that believers seek to avoid or overcome with God's help.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_necessity_of_forgiveness.htm">The Necessity of Forgiveness</a> Forgiveness is a central theme in the Christian life.

Unforgiving is unforgiven. Nothing apparently more easy to frame with the lips, and to desire intensely with the heart, than this petition that the Father would forgive us our sins, only, in praying the prayer, how many forget, or at least slur over, the condition of that forgiveness - a condition they impose themselves! We forget the ten thousand talents as we exact the hundred pence, and, in the act of exacting, we bring back again the weight of the great debt on ourselves. And lead us not into temptation. The simple meaning of this concluding petition in St. Luke's report of the prayer is, "Thou knowest, Father, how weak I am; let me not be tempted above that I am able." <a href="/commentaries/luke/11-4.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>And Καὶ (Kai) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_2532.htm">Strong's 2532: </a> And, even, also, namely. forgive ἄφες (aphes) Verb - Aorist Imperative Active - 2nd Person Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_863.htm">Strong's 863: </a> From apo and hiemi; to send forth, in various applications. us ἡμῖν (hēmin) Personal / Possessive Pronoun - Dative 1st Person Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_1473.htm">Strong's 1473: </a> I, the first-person pronoun.
