(Verse 9.) Our Father, who art in heaven. By calling Him Father, let them confess themselves to be His sons. Hallowed be thy name. Not in you, but in us.

Indeed some of them are still to be found in Jewish writings, but they did not exist in this beautiful combination. This prayer is given as a “model.” It is designed to express the “manner” in which we are to pray, evidently not the precise words or petitions which we are to use. The substance of the prayer is recorded by Luke, Luk 11:2-
