11:1 Yeshua teaches about prayer
11 One time Yeshua was at a place praying, and when he finished some of his followers asked him, “Master, Yohan-the-Immerser taught his apprentices how to pray. You teach us as well.”
2 So Yeshua told them, “Whenever you all pray, say this:
Father, may your name be honoured.
May your kingdom come to pass.
3 Every day give us the food that we need.
4 Forgive us for our sins because we’ve forgiven those who owed us money.
Don’t bring us into situations where we’re tempted.”
5 Then he told them, “Imagine you had a friend and went to them at midnight and asked, ‘Friend, lend me some bread 6 because a travelling friend of mine arrived at my place, and I haven’t got anything to give him to eat.’ 7 And the one in the other house might reply, ‘Don’t bother me now because the house is locked and the kids are asleep beside me here in the bed. I can’t get up and get anything for you.’ 8 I’m telling all of you that even if that friend wouldn’t get up and give them anything because of their friendship, then the friend will certainly get up and give them some food if they persist in knocking. 9 So this is what I’m telling you: Keep submitting your requests and it’ll be given to you all, keep searching and you’ll all find what you’re looking for, keep knocking and the door will be opened for you all, 10 because everyone who requests will receive, and everyone who searches will find, and everyone who knocks will have opened doors. 11 How many of you fathers, if your child asked you for some fish, and instead of that you’d give them a snake? 12 Or the child would ask for an egg and you’d pass them a scorpion? 13 So if you all know how to give good things to your children despite your being evil, how much more the father in heaven will give the holy spirit to those who ask him.”
May we always honour your name.
10 We want your kingdom to come,
and for your plans to be fulfilled here on earth just like they are in heaven.
11 Give us everything we need today
12 and write-off what we owe you
as we also write-off what others owe us.
7:7 Requesting, searching, and knocking
7 “Make your requests and they’ll be given to you. Keep looking and you’ll find it. Knock on doors and they’ll be opened. 8 Because everyone who makes requests, receives, and everyone who searches will find, and the door will be opened for the one knocking. 9 Which one of you who has a child that asks for something to eat would give them a stone? 10 Or if the child asked for some fish, who would give them a snake? 11 So if evil people know how to give good gifts to their children, how much more will your father in the heavens give good things to those who are making their requests to him?
