A quick article to document a *discovery* I've been brought to about the likely origin of the Lord's prayer.
And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. -Jesus {Luk 11:1-4 KJV}
I was recently notified of this page (link below) from Greg Killian that explains in detail what Jesus was teaching, or likely summarizing, when He taught "the Lord's prayer". It's fascinating to learn the Hebraic roots isn't it!? Thanks Greg ;o}
