THE LORD'S PRAYER

In Matthew the Lord's Prayer forms a part of the Sermon on the Mount (Matt. VI:9-13).[21]

According to Luke (Luke XI:2-4) it was given to the disciples alone, and not to a multitude, as in Matthew. In Luke it also comes at a much later date than the delivery of the Sermon on the Mount. One verse is slightly different, Luke having, "and forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one who is indebted to us," in place of Matthew's "and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." Luke also omits the last sentence in Matthew's version.

The Lord's Prayer is not found in Mark or John.[22]
