The Our Father

The Our Father, also called the Lord's Prayer, is the prayer Jesus taught his disciples (Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4). Catholics end it at "deliver us from evil"; the King James text of Matthew adds the closing doxology many Protestant churches pray.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Latin

Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

Latin from Medulla pietatis Christianae (1868)
