Scholars for years have been trying to discover the problem and agreement. To start, we learned in class today that the first three gospels overlap. As seen in Mark 13:14 and Matthew’s parallel as well as Mark 2:10 and Matt 9:6, the agreement is often word-for-word. It is all given in the same context and same order. Also, Matthew and Luke agree on material that is not even in Mark. The comparison of Luke 11:24 and Matthew 6:9-13 is the text my group chose. The Lord’s Prayer, often known as “Our Father” or “Pater Noster,” is a prayer found in the New Testament in two places. While they are frequently referred to be parallel sections. Jesus appears to have preached about prayer at two separate periods, one in Matthew’s gospel and the other in Luke’s gospel. Because the goal of both was to teach people how to pray without rote memorization, it makes reasonable that the substantive principles would be similar in both cases.
The two prayers are what follows:
Matthew 6:9-13 “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one [, for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen].'”
Luke 11:2-4 He said to them, “When you pray, say: “‘[Our] Father [in heaven], hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. [May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.] 3 Give us each day our daily bread. 4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.'”
These words are clearly to address Our Father or God also known as the heavenly father.
