The Lord's Prayer was spoken and taught by Jesus Christ to his disciples. As you read the Lord’s Prayer in the Gospels, you may notice that in most translations, part of the text is written in red, indicating the words of Jesus Christ. However, as we study this method of prayer, we must remember that Jesus was teaching His disciples to pray as he had learned from the traditions of His Jewish upbringing, as well as from what He gleaned from the rabbis in the synagogue.
