Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 11:2-12

Luke HOW TO PRAY Luk_11:1 - Luk_11:13 . Christ’s praying fired the disciples with desire to pray like Him. There must have been something of absorption and blessedness in His communion with the Father which struck them with awe and longing, and which they would fain repeat. Do our prayers move any to taste the devotion and joy which breathe through them? But low conceptions mingled with high desires in their request. They think that if He will give them a form, that will be enough; and they... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 11:1-4

Learning the Lord’s Secrets Luke 10:38-42 ; Luke 11:1-4 This Bethany idyl follows the story of the Good Samaritan naturally. The village lay at the end of the long pass from Jericho. Love must have its nest and the special objects of its tender care. We cannot live in the inn always; we must come at last to our home, either in this world or the next. He who had welcomed the crowds was now welcomed for His own dear sake. Martha and Mary each gave of her best. Each had her own sphere; one... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 11:1-54

Watching the Master at prayer, His disciples were inspired with a desire to pray, and requested that they be taught. He responded to them in a fourfold statement. First, He gave them a model. Then He revealed the character of God as He contrasted it with that of the unjust judge. He then gave them the franchise of prayer in the words, "Ask, seek, knock"; and finally revealed the ground of confidence as it existed in the Fatherhood of God. His casting out of a demon raised criticism by some,... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 11:2

THE SUBJECTION OF MAN’S WILL‘Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.’ Luke 11:2 The only possible way of feeling at home in heaven when God has called us to be there, will be to have looked out for opportunities to get into touch with the spirit of it while here on earth. There is a King in heaven—the Lord Jesus Christ. There is one will dominating heaven and earth—it is God’s will. I. The subjection of the will.—That is one reason why Jesus Christ taught us to pray, as the will of God... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 11:3

MAN DEPENDENT‘Give us day by day our daily bread.’ Luke 11:3 Dependence and not independence is the true condition of man; dependence upon God for all things—things bodily, things spiritual. I. The spirit of the text is that of our entire dependence upon God. We acknowledge the Source from which all things come to us, for if even our daily bread is a gift of God, much more must all other blessings which are not so common as daily bread, and we acknowledge this also, that our dependence is... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 11:4

TEMPTATION‘And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.’ Luke 11:4 Temptation is the precincts of sin. The soul that has trespassed, and is restored back again, is desirous to stand aloof from the neighbourhood of sin; it hates everything to do with sin; and therefore its cry is, not, ‘Lead us not into sin,’ but ‘Lead us not into temptation.’ I. Temptation and probation.—Temptation is sometimes, in God’s Word, taken in the same sense as probation—‘God did tempt Abraham.’ We may... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:1-4

The Giving of The Lord’s Prayer For Worldwide Evangelisation (11:1-4). Learning to pray follows aptly on from Mary sitting at His feet, so this follows on the previous passage very satisfactorily. It was quite normal for disciples to seek a guide to prayer from their teachers, and here we find Jesus’ disciples doing the same. Jewish Rabbis regularly composed special prayers for their disciples. So Jesus is asked to do the same. His model prayer brings out what we should be emphasising when we... read more

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

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:2-4

‘And he said to them, “When you pray, say, Father, Hallowed be your name. Your Kingly Rule come. Give us today Tomorrow’s bread. And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive every one who is indebted to us. And bring us not into testing.” This prayer is a little different from the one in Matthew. It is more basic and direct. It is meant for His innermost disciples. Here they can address God directly as ‘Father’. The version in Matthew is for wider use by those not quite so intimately... 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
