Matthew 6:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 6:9

7 And when you pray, ^ado not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. ^bFor they think that they will be heard for their many words.

8 “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father ^aknows the things you have need of before you ask Him.

9 In this ^amanner, therefore, pray:
^bOur Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your ^cname.

10 Your kingdom come.
^aYour will be done
On earth ^bas it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our ^adaily bread.

12 And ^aforgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.

13 ^aAnd do not lead us into temptation,
But ^bdeliver us from the evil one.
¹For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

14 ^a“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15 But ^aif you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Fasting to Be Seen Only by God

16 “Moreover, ^awhen you fast, do not be like the¹ hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

17 But you, when you fast, ^aanoint your head and wash your face,
