Luke 11.1

Pericope PER224 presents Jesus’ instruction on prayer, given on the Mount of Olives in December AD 32. Drawing on Matthew 6.9-13 and Luke 11.1-4, it examines the Lord’s Prayer in two distinct contexts. Luke places the episode near Jerusalem, after the visit to Bethany and before the healing of a possessed man. The disciples, some of whom had followed John the Baptist, ask Jesus to teach them to pray.
