Bible Lesson 13
What did Jesus do?
He Taught Us to Pray
The apostle Paul taught us that we should bring all of our concerns and needs to God in prayer. However, when Jesus taught his disciples to pray, he showed us what our greatest priorities should be in prayer.
- That God be honored and obeyed here on earth
- That our basic needs be met
- That our sins be forgiven
- That we be rescued from doing evil, and from evil happening to us
It’s good for us to take time to reflect on our prayers, and see if our priorities match what Jesus showed us in this passage.
The Monk at Prayer, by Edouard Manet, 1865.
Nos enseñó como orar
Mateo 6
(9) Padre nuestro que estás en el cielo, santificado sea tu nombre,
(10) venga tu reino, hágase tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo.
(11) Danos hoy nuestro pan cotidiano.
(12) Perdónanos nuestras deudas, como también nosotros hemos perdonado a nuestros deudores.
(13) Y no nos dejes caer en tentación, sino líbranos del maligno.

He taught us how to pray
Mateo 6
Our Father who is in heaven, may your name be honored as holy,
May your kingdom come, may your will be done on the earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And don’t allow us to fall into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
1. Listen to the audio as you read along with the Spanish on the left.
2. Open the English translation, and read the two side-by-side, making sure you understand the Spanish.
3. Close the English, and listen to the audio again, reading along in Spanish.
4. Close the Spanish, and listen once more. Maybe shut your eyes, and just try to understand as much as you can.
