Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:1-54

Jesus Sets His Face Towards Jerusalem Followed By Centring on the Lord’s Prayer For The Evangelisation of the World (9:51-11:54). This section commences with Jesus setting His face towards Jerusalem because the time for Him to be received up (as mentioned in Luke 9:22; Luke 9:31; Luke 9:44) is approaching, and it centres around the Lord’s Prayer for the evangelisation of the world (Luke 11:1-4) which is exemplified throughout. This is apparent from an analysis: a ‘And it came about when the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:2-4

‘And he said to them, “When you pray, say, Father, Hallowed be your name. Your Kingly Rule come. Give us today Tomorrow’s bread. And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive every one who is indebted to us. And bring us not into testing.” This prayer is a little different from the one in Matthew. It is more basic and direct. It is meant for His innermost disciples. Here they can address God directly as ‘Father’. The version in Matthew is for wider use by those not quite so intimately... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:1-13

Luke 11:1-1 Chronicles : . On Prayer ( Matthew 6:9-1 Chronicles : *, Matthew 7:7-1 Kings : *).— Lk. assigns the Lord’ s Prayer to a separate occasion and gives two reasons for the disciples’ request. For the first cf. Luke 3:21, Luke 9:21, etc., for the second, Luke 5:33. Rabbis were accustomed to frame special prayers; there are examples in the Talmud. Lk.’ s form of the Lord’ s Prayer is shorter and more original than Mt.’ s. The earliest reference to the use of the Prayer is in the ... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 11:2-4

See Poole on "Matthew 6:9-13". Whoso compares this prayer as it is recorded by Matthew will find the form of words differing in more things than one; not only the doxology or conclusion is left out wholly by Luke, but for σημερον, there we have χαθ’ ημεραν, here, for οφειληματα Luke hath αμαρτιας, for ως και ημεις αφιεμεν τοις οφειλετιας ημων we have here και γαρ αυτοι αφιεμεν παντι οφειλοντι ημιν; from whence plainly appears that our Saviour did not intend to oblige his disciples to the same... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 11:1-13

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 11:1. The time and place when this incident occurred are indefinite, but there can be no doubt that we have not here part of the Sermon on the Mount, put out of its place. The form of prayer here given differs very considerably (by omission) from that in Matthew 6:9-13; as given in the best authorities it runs as follows: “Father, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we ourselves also forgive every one that... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 11:2

Luke 11:2 I. How is God's will done in heaven? (1) God's will is in heaven done willingly or heartily; that is, His servants there obey Him and do His will, not because they are commanded to do this and that, and dare not disobey, but because they do not wish to disobey; it is their happiness to do God's will, it is because they do it that they are happy, and they would grieve if they might not do it. (2) Again, God's will is done in heaven completely, perfectly; whatever is done is His will... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 11:1-54

Tonight, chapter 11 in the gospel according to Luke.Again, as Luke is pointing out the human side of Jesus, though He was God, He became man. He is the God-man. He is divine, and yet, He is human. The perfect balance. And whereas John points out the divinity of Christ in his gospel, which we will be entering into next, Luke points out the humanity of Jesus. And because this is the special emphasis of Luke, he does record more than any of the other gospel writers concerning the prayer life of... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 11:1-54

Luke 11:1 . Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. The disciples of John were eminent for fasting and prayer; and though the prayers of the jews were good, yet they were not exactly adapted to the new dispensation which John came to introduce. The litanies or pleadings of the jews were brief, but their doxologies were numerous. Luke 11:2 . Our Father which art in heaven. The last words of this sentence are not in the Vulgate, but they are understood in the word... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Luke 11:2

Luke 11:2When ye pray, saySermonic hints on the Lord’s Prayer1.Not a prescription of words. A great merit in prayer is that it most naturally expresses the feeling of him who offers it. A child’s prattle is more acceptable to a parent than stately utterances put into his mouth. In Raphael’s cartoon the adoring disciples surround the risen Lord in various attitudes, one kneeling, one with clasped hands, one with open palms, one with bowed head, and one shows excited reverence by the fact that he... read more
