he “Our Father,” also known as the Lord’s Prayer, is the foundational Christian prayer taught by Jesus to his disciples. It praises God, asks for His will to be done, requests daily needs, and seeks forgiveness and protection from evil. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Here is the traditional English version:

“Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who 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.” [1]

Depending on your denomination or the Bible translation you use, you might also find slight variations. For example, the Protestant and King James traditions often use the word “debts” instead of “trespasses,” while the Catholic version adds “Amen” without the final doxology (“For thine is the kingdom…”). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
