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

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's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 11:1

This seemeth to be a different time from that mentioned by Matthew, where our Saviour directed his disciples to pray; there his direction was part of his sermon on the mount. Besides, the doxology or conclusion is there left out. It is said here, as he was praying in a certain place. Christ looked upon all places as holy enough for prayer. It also looks as if at this time our Saviour was not at his more secret devotions, but with the twelve, (which were his family), praying with them. When he... 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 11:1

Luke 11:1 I. Our Lord seems to have undertaken no great work without earnest prayer for God's guidance. If we undertook everything in this spirit we should have more success, and more happiness in our success than we have. And it was not merely when He had some special boon to ask that our Saviour prayed; to pray was with Him something more than merely asking for favours it was to worship and adore the Father, to rise in spirit from the world, and above all bodily cares and wants, and join in... read more

DISCOURSE: 1519FORMS OF PRAYER, GOODLuke 11:1. 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.SCARCELY any thing can more strongly mark our defection from God, than our inability to pray. It might well be supposed, that, considering how many sins we have to be forgiven, how many wants to be supplied, and how many blessings to be acknowledged, that we should never be at... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Luke 11:1

teach us to pray This is the central N.T. passage on prayer. In the Sermon on the Mount Christ had announced the new basis of prayer, viz.: relationship Matthew 6:9; Matthew 6:28-32. The believer is a child of God through the new birth. (See Scofield "Matthew 6:9- :") . The clear revelation of this fact at once establishes the reasonableness of prayer; a reasonableness against which the argument from the apparent uniformity of natural law shatters itself. God is more than a Creator, bringing a... 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

Luke 11:1Lord, teach us to prayThe Christian taught to prayI.WHAT THE REQUEST IMPLIES. 1. A conviction of the importance of prayer. This, in this ease, seems to have had its origin in the habits and example of Christ. He prayed often and much; in sorrow, and in joy; alone, and with His disciples. 2. This request implies also some knowledge of the real nature of prayer. The disciples had heard their Master pray. They had witnessed His fervour, the seriousness, the abasement, and perhaps... read more
