[[File:Bloch-SermonOnTheMount.jpg|300px|thumb|''The [[Sermon on the Mount]]'' by [[Carl Heinrich Bloch]].]] The '''Lord's Prayer''' is the best known [[Prayer in Christianity|prayer]] in the [[Christian]] religion. It is also known as the '''Our Father''' (the first two words of the prayer) and '''Pater noster''' (which is [[Latin]] for “Our Father”). It was not until the [[Protestant Reformation]] that it was called the Lord's Prayer. The prayer is spoken in two places in the [[New Testament]] of the [[Bible]] ([[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]] 6:9-13<ref>{{bibleverse||Matthew|6:9-13}}</ref> and [[Gospel of Luke|Luke]] 11:1-4<ref>{{bibleverse||Luke|11:1–4}}</ref>). [[Jesus]]' [[Disciples of Christ|disciples]] asked him how they should pray. Jesus gave an example of how to pray to [[God the Father|Father God]]. The Bible has been translated into [[English language|English]] several times. Therefore, there are slightly different versions that are used. The traditional and one of the best-known versions is the translation from the [[Book of Common Prayer]] ([[1662]]): : :Our Father, which art in heaven, :hallowed be thy name; :thy kingdom come; :thy will be done, :in earth as it is in heaven. :Give us this day our daily bread. :And forgive us our trespasses, :as we forgive them that trespass against us. :And lead us not into temptation, :but deliver us from evil. :(For thine is the kingdom, :the power, and the glory, :For ever and ever.) :Amen. : :<u>'''In Simple English:'''</u> :Our Heavenly Father, may your name be glorified. :May your kingdom come; may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. :Give us our daily bread today. :And forgive us our offenses, as we forgive those who offend us. :And don't allow us to fall into temptation, but save us from evil. :Because the kingdom, power and glory are yours for ever and ever. :Amen. :[There are many similar interpretations that could be used here; some Christians are quite particular about the exact vocabulary they use, and some are not.] == Latin versio
