This discussion on prayer occurred approximately 18 months after Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount, in which he taught his disciples the model prayer. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070655/1/0" data-bid="2-1" class="b">Mt 6:9-13</a>) Possibly this particular disciple was not present at that time, so Jesus kindly repeated the essential points of that model prayer. Prayer was a regular part of Jewish life and worship, and the Hebrew Scriptures contain numerous prayers in the book of Psalms and elsewhere. Therefore, it seems that the disciple was not asking to be taught something that he knew nothing about or that he had never done. Doubtless, he was also familiar with the formalistic prayers of the religious leaders of Judaism. But he had likely observed Jesus praying and sensed that there was a big difference between the sanctimonious prayers of the rabbis and the way Jesus prayed.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070655/2/0" data-bid="3-1" class="b">Mt 6:5-8</a>.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group index collapsible collapsed"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Indexes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item ref-rsg" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Research Guide</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p1093" data-pid="1093" class="se"></p> <p id="p1094" data-pid="1094" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1063/0"><em>Jesus—The Way,</em> p. 174</a></p> <div id="p1095" data-pid="1095"><p data-pid="1095" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1064/0"><em>The Watchtower,</em></a></p><p data-pid="1095" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1064/0">2/1/2004, p. 8</a></p><p data-pid="1095" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1065/0">7/15/1996, p. 3</a></p><p data-pid="1095" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1066/0">5/15/1990, p. 15</a></p><p data-pid="1095" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1067/0">8/1/1988, p. 8</a></p> </div><p id="p1096" data-pid="1096" class="se"></p> </span></li><li class="item ref-dx" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Publications Index</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p329" data-pid="329" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/327/0">jy 174;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/327/2"> w04 2/1 8;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/327/4"> w96 7/15 3;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/327/7"> gt chapter 74;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/327/9"> w90 5/15 15;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/327/11"> w88 8/1 8;</a></p> <p id="p330" data-pid="330" class="sx"></p> <p id="p371" data-pid="371" class="sx"><span class="ni">ns 244</span></p> <p id="p372" data-pid="372" class="sx"></p> </span></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" data-key="42-11-2" data-section-citation="042011002042011002"><h3 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Luke 11:2</span></h3><div class="studyNoteGroup"><ul class="content"><li class="item studyNote" data-extract-id=""><span class="scalableui"><p id="p6" data-pid="6" class="s5"><strong>Whenever you pray, say:</strong> The prayer that follows in <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070655/4/0" data-bid="5-1" class="b">verses 2b-4</a> reflects the substance of the model prayer that Jesus taught about 18 months earlier in the Sermon on the Mount.

(<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070655/27/0" data-bid="28-1" class="b">Mt 12:39, 40</a>) Jonah had compared his deliverance from the belly of the fish after “three days and three nights” to being raised from the Grave. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070655/28/0" data-bid="29-1" class="b">Jon 1:17–2:2</a>) Jesus’ resurrection from the literal grave was to be just as real as Jonah’s deliverance from the belly of the fish. However, even when Jesus was resurrected after having been dead for parts of three days, his hard-hearted critics still refused to exercise faith in him. Jonah also served as a sign by means of his bold preaching, which moved the Ninevites to repent.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070655/29/0" data-bid="30-1" class="b">Mt 12:41;</a><a

As shown in this verse, some were so inconspicuous that people might have walked on them and become ceremonially unclean without being aware of it. The Law of Moses considered unclean those who had touched anything belonging to the dead, so a person walking on such unseen graves would become ceremonially unclean for seven days. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070655/42/0" data-bid="43-1" class="b">Nu 19:16</a>) So that graves could be easily discovered and avoided, the Jews had them whitewashed each year. In this context, Jesus evidently meant that people who mixed freely with Pharisees, believing them to be good men, subconsciously became infected with their corrupt attitudes and unclean thinking.—See

were entrusted with a degree of authority. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070655/51/0" data-bid="52-1" class="b">1Ch 9:26, 27;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070655/51/1" data-bid="52-2" class="b"> Isa 22:20-22</a>) So the term “key” came to symbolize authority and responsibility. In this context, it seems that “knowledge” refers to divinely provided knowledge, since Jesus addresses religious leaders who were <strong>versed in the Law.</strong> They were supposed to use their authority and power to give the people accurate knowledge of God by explaining God’s word to them, unlocking its meaning. A comparison of this text with <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070655/52/0" data-bid="53-1" class="b">Mt 23:13</a>, where Jesus states that the religious leaders had “shut up the Kingdom of the heavens before men,” indicates that the expression <strong>go in</strong> refers to gaining entrance into that Kingdom. By not giving the people the correct knowledge of God, the religious leaders <strong>took away</strong> the opportunity for many to understand God’s Word correctly and to enter into the Kingdom of God.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/42/11/533" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-534"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Mal 2:7, 8; Mt 23:13; 1Th 2:14-16</span></span></div><div class="content"><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-534" class="loading hidden"><span class="icon"></span></div><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-534" class="extract"></div></div></li></ul></div><div class="group index collapsible collapsed"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Indexes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item ref-rsg" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Research Guide</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p1218" data-pid="1218" class="se"></p> <p id="p1219" data-pid="1219" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1196/0"><em>Insight,</em> Volume 2<em>,</em> p. 148</a></p> <div id="p1220" data-pid="1220"><p data-pid="1220" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1197/0"><em>The Watchtower</em> (Study)<em>,</em></a></p><p data-pid="1220" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1197/0">11/2017, pp. 15-16</a></p> </div><p id="p1221" data-pid="1221" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1198/0"><em>Jesus—The Way,</em> pp. 178-179</a></p> <div id="p1222" data-pid="1222"><p data-pid="1222" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1199/0"><em>The Watchtower,</em></a></p><p data-pid="1222" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1199/0">6/15/2009, p. 32</a></p><p data-pid="1222" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1200/0">3/15/1991, p. 5</a></p><p data-pid="1222" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204432/1201/0">9/1/1988, p. 25</a></p> </div><p id="p1223" data-pid="1223" class="se"></p> </span></li><li class="item ref-dx" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Publications Index</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p368" data-pid="368" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/366/0">it-2 148;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/366/2"> w17.11 15-16;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/366/4"> jy 178-179;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/366/6"> w09 6/15 32;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/366/8"> w91 3/15 5;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/366/10"> gt chapter 76;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270042/366/12"> w88 9/1 25;</a></p> <p id="p369" data-pid="369" class="sx"></p> <p id="p408" data-pid="408" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020042/406/0">w79 10/1 28;</a><span class="ni"> im 251;</span><span class="ni"> bf 431;</span><span class="ni"> g56 2/22 26;</span><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020042/406/5"> w55 614;</a><span class="ni"> w49 92;</span><span class="ni"> rw 42;</span><span class="ni"> w43 200;</span><span class="ni"> g37 7/28 689;</span><span class="ni"> ch 198;</span><span class="ni"> g36 7/1 637;</span><span class="ni"> w34 99;</span><span class="ni"> jh 125;</span><span class="ni"> ke 20</span></p> <p id="p409" data-pid="409" class="sx"></p> </span></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" data-key="42-11-53" data-section-citation="042011053042011053"><h3 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Luke 11:53</span></h3><div class="studyNoteGroup"><ul class="content"><li class="item studyNote" data-extract-id=""><span class="scalableui"><p id="p69" data-pid="69" class="s5"><strong>began to put extreme pressure on him:</strong> This expression can refer to physically crowding around someone, but here it seems to describe the hostility of the religious leaders as they use intense pressure to try to intimidate Jesus.
