Read Luke 11.1-13. In 11.1-13: On prayer. Luke's version of the kingdom prayer is briefer and less well known (see Mt 6.9-13). In verse 2: Father is a remarkably intimate word, expressing trust more than authority (see 11.13; Gal 4.6; Rom 8.15, compare Lk 22.24-30; Acts 24-26). In verse 4: The prayer to be protected from the time of trial points to the power of evil (see 8.13; 22.3, 28, 31, 40, 46). In verse 8: Persistence is unashamed (see 18.1-8), not necessarily polite. In verses 9-10: These verses are compact sayings in which God's activity is indirectly promised. In verses 11-12: Snakes and scorpions are evil scourges (19.19), not given by good fathers (11.2).
