We

We
ask God for forgiveness,

we

in
humble prayer.

Luke 11:4c
(John)
Wesley’s Notes on the Bible
Luke
11
11:1 Lord,
teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples - The Jewish masters used
to give their followers some short form of prayer, as a peculiar badge of their
relation to them. This it is probable John the Baptist had done. And in this
sense it seems to be that the disciples now asked Jesus, to teach them to pray.
Accordingly he here repeats that form, which he had before given them in his
sermon on the mount, and likewise enlarges on the same head, though still
speaking the same things in substance. And this prayer uttered from the heart,
and in its true and full meaning, is indeed the badge of a real Christian: for
is not he such whose first and most ardent desire is the glory of God, and the
happiness of man by the coming of his kingdom? Who asks for no more of this
world than his daily bread, longing meantime for the bread that came down from
heaven? And whose only desires for himself is forgiveness of sins, (as he heartily
forgives others,) and sanctification.
11:2 When ye
pray, say - And what he said to them is undoubtedly said to us also. We are
therefore here directed, not only to imitate this in all our prayers, but to
use this very form of prayer. Matthew 6:9-13.
11:4 Forgive
us; for we forgive them - Not once, but continually. This does not denote the
meritorious cause of our pardon; but the removal of that hindrance which
otherwise would render it impossible.
