“One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.””

Luke 11:1

Save as image

Study note

Luke frequently shows Jesus at prayer, and here one of his disciples sees him finish praying and makes a request. John the Baptist had taught his own followers to pray, so the request was natural.
