12 Bible verses about the Lord's Prayer KJV

The disciples asked to be taught to pray and got about sixty words. These verses cover the prayer itself in both Gospel accounts, the line about forgiving that Jesus went back and underlined, and the warning about vain repetition just before it.

Each verse is quoted in full from the King James Version — tap a reference to read it in context, see cross references, and study the original words.
