Lord's Prayer

The Lord's Prayer, also known by its incipit Our Father (Greek: Πάτερ ἡμῶν, romanized: Páter hēmôn; Latin: Pater Noster), is a central Christian prayer attributed to Jesus. It contains petitions to God focused on God's holiness, will, and kingdom, as well as human needs, with variations across manuscripts and Christian traditions. Most scholars accept the Lord’s Prayer to be authentic. Some have suggested that Jesus spoke multiple renditions of the Prayer, while the relationship between the Matthean and Lukan versions continues to be debated.
