John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:1-54

The Lord’s Prayer. The Sign of Jonah1-4. The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-15). See on Mt. If the Lord’s Prayer was given only once, St. Luke is probably right as to the occasion. His version, however (as in the case of the Beatitudes), is manifestly inferior to St. Matthew’s. Of the seven petitions he omits two—the third (’Thy will be done,’ etc.), and the seventh (’but deliver us from the evil one’: see the RV). In place of Mt’s beautiful opening, ’Our Father in the heavens,’ he has simply,... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 11:1

XI.(1) As he was praying in a certain place.—The facts of the case as here narrated, the common practice of the Jews, and the analogy of the prayers in John 11:41, Matthew 26:39, and, we may add, of the thanksgiving in Luke 10:21, Matthew 11:25, all lead to the conclusion that our Lord prayed aloud, and that some, at least, of the disciples heard Him. They listened, unable to follow, or to record what they had heard, and they wished to be able to enter into His spirit and pray as He... read more

Christ's Lessons in Prayer Luke 11:1 The disciples had all prayed many times, and yet they came to Jesus with this request. For they were not satisfied with their praying. Their hearts were full of longings for which they could not find utterance, and the silence in which they dwelt oppressed them. For answer, Jesus began by teaching them how not to pray. It may well be, that with such bad examples of devotion in their synagogues and streets, the very habits of devotion which they had formed... read more

lete_me Luke 18:1-14Chapter 11CONCERNING PRAYER.WHEN the Greeks called man ό ανθρωπος, or the "uplooking one," they did but crystallize in a word what is a universal fact, the religious instinct of humanity. Everywhere, and through all times, man has felt, as by a sort of intuition, that earth was no Ultima Thule, with nothing beyond but oceans of vacancy and silence, but that it lay in the over-shadow of other worlds, between which and their own were subtle modes of correspondence. They felt... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:1-54

Valuable Instruction as to Prayer (vs.1-13) As this chapter opens the Lord Jesus was exemplifying the character of dependent communion with His Father (that character that He commended in Mary). His example awakened the exercise of at least one of His disciples to desire the Lord to them to pray, for the disciples remembered that John the Baptist taught his disciples to pray. The prayer the Lord taught (vs.2-4) corresponds to Matthew 6:9-13 and whether it is the same occasion or not, Luke... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 11:1-54

DOCTRINE OF PRAYER We name this lesson after its chief topic, for as the Scofield Bible says, we have here “the central New Testament passage on prayer.” The disciples’ request (Luke 11:1 ) is answered first by a model prayer (Luke 11:2-4 ), then by a story or parable about prayer (Luke 11:5-10 ), and finally by setting before them the chief object of prayer (Luke 11:11-13 ). The “model” contains fundamental principles of prayer: (1) the right relationship, that of a son to a father; (2) the... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Luke 11:1-54

Pious At the Wrong Places Luk 11:42 In other words, you are pious at the wrong places. That is the point. It applies to us all. We think we make up for lack of the right, and complete piety by fussing about a thousand things that are secondary, subordinate, and hardly of any consequence. Thus man writes his poor programme of service. He has his little fads and likings and prejudices, and if you will allow him to cobble away at these he thinks he is about as good as anybody else. When men work... read more

(1) And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. (2) And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. (3) Give us, day by day, our daily bread. (4) And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive everyone that is indebted to us. And lead us not into... read more
