It reflects the rabbinic tradition where a teacher imparts wisdom to his followers. Jesus often used direct instruction to clarify spiritual truths, emphasizing the importance of prayer in the life of a believer. This moment is part of a larger discourse on prayer, highlighting its significance in the relationship between God and His people.“When you pray, say: Jesus provides a model for prayer, not just a formula. The use of "when" implies that prayer is expected and regular in the life of a believer. This instruction aligns with Jewish customs of regular prayer times, such as the Shema and the Amidah, which were recited daily. Jesus is teaching a new way to approach God, emphasizing intimacy and reverence.‘Father, Addressing God as "Father" was revolutionary, emphasizing a personal and intimate relationship with God. In the Old Testament, God is occasionally referred to as Father, but Jesus makes this the primary way to address God, reflecting the new covenant relationship. This term signifies both respect and closeness, aligning with the concept of believers being children of God (<a href="/romans/8-15.htm">Romans 8:15</a>).hallowed be Your name. This phrase acknowledges the holiness and sanctity of God's name. In Jewish tradition, God's name was treated with utmost reverence, often replaced with titles like Adonai to avoid misuse. The request for God's name to be hallowed is a call for His holiness to be recognized and revered throughout the world, echoing the third commandment (<a href="/exodus/20-7.htm">Exodus 20:7</a>) and the prophetic vision of God's glory filling the earth (<a href="/isaiah/6-3.htm">Isaiah 6:3</a>).Your kingdom come. This petition reflects the eschatological hope for God's reign to be fully realized on earth. It connects to the Jewish expectation of the Messiah's coming and the establishment of God's kingdom, as prophesied in <a href="/daniel/2-44.htm">Daniel 2:44</a> and <a href="/isaiah/9-7.htm">Isaiah 9:7</a>. For Christians, it also anticipates the second coming of Christ and the ultimate fulfillment of God's redemptive plan. This phrase calls believers to live in a way that reflects God's kingdom values, as seen in the teachings of Jesus throughout the Gospels.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> The central figure in this passage, Jesus is teaching His disciples how to pray.

That which had been given to the multitude was enough for them. If they wanted to be taught to pray at all, if earnest desires did not spontaneously clothe themselves in words, then this simplest and shortest of all prayers expressed all that they should seek to ask. To utter each of those petitions from the heart, entering into its depth and fulness, was better than to indulge in any amplitude of rhetoric.(2-4) Our Father which art in heaven.--See Notes on <a href="/context/matthew/6-9.htm" title="After this manner therefore pray you: Our Father which are in heaven, Hallowed be your name.">Matthew 6:9-11</a>. The following variations may be noticed. (1) The better MSS. omit "our" and "which art in heaven," and begin with the simple "Father." It was, of course, natural enough that it should be, in course of time, adapted by transcribers to the form which was in common use. (2) Many of the best MSS., again, omit the whole clause, "Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth," which may have been inserted with the same purpose. (3) St. Luke substitutes "day by day" for "this day," and so implies that the word ????????? (epiousios), translated "daily," must have some other meaning. (See Excursus II. on Notes to St. Matthew.) (4) St. Luke uses the word "sins" instead of "debts," as being, perhaps, more adapted to the minds of his Gentile readers, while he retains the primary idea of St. Matthew's term in the words, "every one that is indebted to us." The familiar "Forgive us our trespasses," of the Prayer Book, it may be noted, is not found in the Authorised version at all, and comes to us from Tyndale's. (5) Many of the better MSS. omit the clause, "But deliver us from evil," this too, probably, being an addition made for the sake of conformity. (6) St. Luke (all the MSS. here agreeing) omits the final doxology found in some, but not in the best, MSS. of St. Matthew.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/luke/11.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 2. - And he said unto them, When ye pray, say.
